When I hover over a type in vscode, sometimes I get the construction of the type as shown in the image instead of the actual object type that gets created in the end. How can I make it show the actual type instead?
#When checking type in vscode, it doesn't give the actual type

When I hover over a type in vscode, sometimes I get the construction of the type...
it's not possible, what is shown in the tooltip is sometimes good and sometimes not so good
in this case typescript decided that expanding the alias was more "correct"
because the type system is structural, it doesn't matter. But there is no trick, aside from using an interface to forcing typescript to use the given type name

There are extensions like https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kimuson.ts-type-expand

You can force it to show with an expand type
type Expand<T> = T extends T ? { [K in keyof T]: T[K] } : never

that's not what they want

```ts
type Expand<T> = T extends T ? { [K in keyof T]: T[K] } : never
```
Note that this is type-unsafe and should not be recommended anymore, too.

https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/55535 if you get more than 3 levels deep it stops checking types
