模板字面类型

模板字面量类型建立在string字面量类型之上，并且能够通过联合扩展为多个字符串。

🌐 Template literal types build on string literal types, and have the ability to expand into many strings via unions.

它们具有与 JavaScript 中的模板字面量字符串 相同的语法，但用于类型位置。 当与具体字面量类型一起使用时，模板字面量通过连接内容生成一个新的字符串字面量类型。

🌐 They have the same syntax as template literal strings in JavaScript, but are used in type positions. When used with concrete literal types, a template literal produces a new string literal type by concatenating the contents.

ts
type World = "world";
 
type Greeting = `hello ${World}`;
        
type Greeting = "hello world"
Try

当在插值位置使用联合时，类型是可以由每个联合成员表示的每个可能的字符串字面的集合：

🌐 When a union is used in the interpolated position, the type is the set of every possible string literal that could be represented by each union member:

ts
type EmailLocaleIDs = "welcome_email" | "email_heading";
type FooterLocaleIDs = "footer_title" | "footer_sendoff";
 
type AllLocaleIDs = `${EmailLocaleIDs | FooterLocaleIDs}_id`;
          
type AllLocaleIDs = "welcome_email_id" | "email_heading_id" | "footer_title_id" | "footer_sendoff_id"
Try

对于模板字面中的每个插值位置，联合是交叉相乘的：

🌐 For each interpolated position in the template literal, the unions are cross multiplied:

ts
type AllLocaleIDs = `${EmailLocaleIDs | FooterLocaleIDs}_id`;
type Lang = "en" | "ja" | "pt";
 
type LocaleMessageIDs = `${Lang}_${AllLocaleIDs}`;
            
type LocaleMessageIDs = "en_welcome_email_id" | "en_email_heading_id" | "en_footer_title_id" | "en_footer_sendoff_id" | "ja_welcome_email_id" | "ja_email_heading_id" | "ja_footer_title_id" | "ja_footer_sendoff_id" | "pt_welcome_email_id" | "pt_email_heading_id" | "pt_footer_title_id" | "pt_footer_sendoff_id"
Try

我们通常建议人们对大型字符串联合使用提前生成，但这在较小的情况下很有用。

🌐 We generally recommend that people use ahead-of-time generation for large string unions, but this is useful in smaller cases.

类型中的字符串联合

🌐 String Unions in Types

当基于类型内的信息定义一个新字符串时，模板字面的力量就来了。

🌐 The power in template literals comes when defining a new string based on information inside a type.

考虑这样一种情况：一个函数（makeWatchedObject）向传入的对象添加一个新函数，名为 on()。在 JavaScript 中，它的调用可能如下：makeWatchedObject(baseObject)。我们可以将基础对象想象成如下：

🌐 Consider the case where a function (makeWatchedObject) adds a new function called on() to a passed object. In JavaScript, its call might look like: makeWatchedObject(baseObject). We can imagine the base object as looking like:

ts
const passedObject = {
  firstName: "Saoirse",
  lastName: "Ronan",
  age: 26,
};
Try

将添加到基础对象的 on 函数期望两个参数，一个 eventName（一个 string）和一个 callback（一个 function）。

🌐 The on function that will be added to the base object expects two arguments, an eventName (a string) and a callback (a function).

eventName 应该是 attributeInThePassedObject + "Changed" 的形式；因此，firstNameChanged 是从基对象中的属性 firstName 推导而来的。

🌐 The eventName should be of the form attributeInThePassedObject + "Changed"; thus, firstNameChanged as derived from the attribute firstName in the base object.

当调用 callback 函数时：

🌐 The callback function, when called:

  • 应该传递与名称 attributeInThePassedObject 相关的类型的值；因此，由于 firstName 的类型为 string，firstNameChanged 事件的回调在调用时期望传入一个 string。同样，与 age 相关的事件也应期望在调用时传入一个 number 参数。
  • 应该有 void 返回类型（为了演示的简便）

on() 的简单函数签名可能是：on(eventName: string, callback: (newValue: any) => void)。然而，在前面的描述中，我们已经确定了一些希望在代码中记录的重要类型约束。模板字面量类型让我们能够将这些约束引入到代码中。

🌐 The naive function signature of on() might thus be: on(eventName: string, callback: (newValue: any) => void). However, in the preceding description, we identified important type constraints that we’d like to document in our code. Template Literal types let us bring these constraints into our code.

ts
const person = makeWatchedObject({
  firstName: "Saoirse",
  lastName: "Ronan",
  age: 26,
});
 
// makeWatchedObject has added `on` to the anonymous Object
 
person.on("firstNameChanged", (newValue) => {
  console.log(`firstName was changed to ${newValue}!`);
});
Try

请注意，on 监听的是事件 "firstNameChanged"，而不仅仅是 "firstName"。如果我们确保可用事件名称的集合由被观察对象的属性名称与在末尾添加 “Changed” 组合而成，那么我们对 on() 的简单规范就可以更健壮。虽然我们在 JavaScript 中进行这种计算是没有问题的，例如 Object.keys(passedObject).map(x => `${x}Changed`)，但类型系统中的模板字面量也提供了类似的字符串操作方法：

🌐 Notice that on listens on the event "firstNameChanged", not just "firstName". Our naive specification of on() could be made more robust if we were to ensure that the set of eligible event names was constrained by the union of attribute names in the watched object with “Changed” added at the end. While we are comfortable with doing such a calculation in JavaScript i.e. Object.keys(passedObject).map(x => `${x}Changed`), template literals inside the type system provide a similar approach to string manipulation:

ts
type PropEventSource<Type> = {
    on(eventName: `${string & keyof Type}Changed`, callback: (newValue: any) => void): void;
};
 
/// Create a "watched object" with an `on` method
/// so that you can watch for changes to properties.
declare function makeWatchedObject<Type>(obj: Type): Type & PropEventSource<Type>;
Try

有了这个，我们可以构建一些在给定错误属性时出错的东西：

🌐 With this, we can build something that errors when given the wrong property:

ts
const person = makeWatchedObject({
  firstName: "Saoirse",
  lastName: "Ronan",
  age: 26
});
 
person.on("firstNameChanged", () => {});
 
// Prevent easy human error (using the key instead of the event name)
person.on("firstName", () => {});
Argument of type '"firstName"' is not assignable to parameter of type '"firstNameChanged" | "lastNameChanged" | "ageChanged"'.2345Argument of type '"firstName"' is not assignable to parameter of type '"firstNameChanged" | "lastNameChanged" | "ageChanged"'.
 
// It's typo-resistant
person.on("frstNameChanged", () => {});
Argument of type '"frstNameChanged"' is not assignable to parameter of type '"firstNameChanged" | "lastNameChanged" | "ageChanged"'.2345Argument of type '"frstNameChanged"' is not assignable to parameter of type '"firstNameChanged" | "lastNameChanged" | "ageChanged"'.Try

使用模板字面进行推断

🌐 Inference with Template Literals

请注意，我们并没有从原始传入对象提供的所有信息中受益。对于 firstName 的变化（即 firstNameChanged 事件），我们应该预期回调将接收到一个类型为 string 的参数。同样，对于 age 的变化，回调应该接收一个 number 参数。我们天真地使用 any 来类型化 callback 的参数。再次强调，模板字面量类型使得确保属性的数据类型与该属性回调的第一个参数类型相同成为可能。

🌐 Notice that we did not benefit from all the information provided in the original passed object. Given change of a firstName (i.e. a firstNameChanged event), we should expect that the callback will receive an argument of type string. Similarly, the callback for a change to age should receive a number argument. We’re naively using any to type the callback’s argument. Again, template literal types make it possible to ensure an attribute’s data type will be the same type as that attribute’s callback’s first argument.

使这成为可能的关键见解是：我们可以使用带有泛型的函数，使得：

🌐 The key insight that makes this possible is this: we can use a function with a generic such that:

  1. 第一个参数中使用的字面被捕获为字面类型
  2. 该字面类型可以被验证为在泛型中的有效属性的联合中
  3. 可以使用 Indexed Access 在泛型结构中查找已验证属性的类型
  4. 然后可以应用这些类型信息，以确保传递给回调函数的参数具有相同的类型
ts
type PropEventSource<Type> = {
    on<Key extends string & keyof Type>
        (eventName: `${Key}Changed`, callback: (newValue: Type[Key]) => void): void;
};
 
declare function makeWatchedObject<Type>(obj: Type): Type & PropEventSource<Type>;
 
const person = makeWatchedObject({
  firstName: "Saoirse",
  lastName: "Ronan",
  age: 26
});
 
person.on("firstNameChanged", newName => {
                                
(parameter) newName: string
    console.log(`new name is ${newName.toUpperCase()}`);
});
 
person.on("ageChanged", newAge => {
                          
(parameter) newAge: number
    if (newAge < 0) {
        console.warn("warning! negative age");
    }
})
Try

在这里，我们将 on 变成了一个通用方法。

🌐 Here we made on into a generic method.

当用户使用字符串 "firstNameChanged" 调用时，TypeScript 会尝试推断 Key 的正确类型。 为此，它会将 Key 与 "Changed" 之前的内容进行匹配，并推断出字符串 "firstName"。 一旦 TypeScript 弄清楚这一点，on 方法就可以在原始对象上获取 firstName 的类型，在这种情况下是 string。 同样，当使用 "ageChanged" 调用时，TypeScript 会找到属性 age 的类型，即 number。

🌐 When a user calls with the string "firstNameChanged", TypeScript will try to infer the right type for Key. To do that, it will match Key against the content before "Changed" and infer the string "firstName". Once TypeScript figures that out, the on method can fetch the type of firstName on the original object, which is string in this case. Similarly, when called with "ageChanged", TypeScript finds the type for the property age which is number.

推断可以以不同的方式组合，通常是解构字符串，并以不同的方式重构它们。

🌐 Inference can be combined in different ways, often to deconstruct strings, and reconstruct them in different ways.

内在字符串操作类型

🌐 Intrinsic String Manipulation Types

为了帮助字符串操作，TypeScript 包含了一组可用于字符串操作的类型。这些类型内置于编译器中以提高性能，无法在 TypeScript 附带的 .d.ts 文件中找到。

🌐 To help with string manipulation, TypeScript includes a set of types which can be used in string manipulation. These types come built-in to the compiler for performance and can’t be found in the .d.ts files included with TypeScript.

Uppercase<StringType>

将字符串中的每个字符转换为大写版本。

🌐 Converts each character in the string to the uppercase version.

示例

🌐 Example

ts
type Greeting = "Hello, world"
type ShoutyGreeting = Uppercase<Greeting>
           
type ShoutyGreeting = "HELLO, WORLD"
 
type ASCIICacheKey<Str extends string> = `ID-${Uppercase<Str>}`
type MainID = ASCIICacheKey<"my_app">
       
type MainID = "ID-MY_APP"
Try

Lowercase<StringType>

将字符串中的每个字符转换为等效的小写字母。

🌐 Converts each character in the string to the lowercase equivalent.

示例

🌐 Example

ts
type Greeting = "Hello, world"
type QuietGreeting = Lowercase<Greeting>
          
type QuietGreeting = "hello, world"
 
type ASCIICacheKey<Str extends string> = `id-${Lowercase<Str>}`
type MainID = ASCIICacheKey<"MY_APP">
       
type MainID = "id-my_app"
Try

Capitalize<StringType>

将字符串中的第一个字符转换为等效的大写字母。

🌐 Converts the first character in the string to an uppercase equivalent.

示例

🌐 Example

ts
type LowercaseGreeting = "hello, world";
type Greeting = Capitalize<LowercaseGreeting>;
        
type Greeting = "Hello, world"
Try

Uncapitalize<StringType>

将字符串中的第一个字符转换为等效的小写字母。

🌐 Converts the first character in the string to a lowercase equivalent.

示例

🌐 Example

ts
type UppercaseGreeting = "HELLO WORLD";
type UncomfortableGreeting = Uncapitalize<UppercaseGreeting>;
              
type UncomfortableGreeting = "hELLO WORLD"
Try
关于内置字符串操作类型的技术细节

截至 TypeScript 4.1，这些内置函数的代码直接使用 JavaScript 字符串运行时函数进行操作，并且不考虑区域设置。

function applyStringMapping(symbol: Symbol, str: string) {
    switch (intrinsicTypeKinds.get(symbol.escapedName as string)) {
        case IntrinsicTypeKind.Uppercase: return str.toUpperCase();
        case IntrinsicTypeKind.Lowercase: return str.toLowerCase();
        case IntrinsicTypeKind.Capitalize: return str.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + str.slice(1);
        case IntrinsicTypeKind.Uncapitalize: return str.charAt(0).toLowerCase() + str.slice(1);
    }
    return str;
}
