Problem

knitwork provided code generation helpers for TypeScript interfaces, type exports/imports, augmentations, and namespaces, but lacked a dedicated utility for generating TypeScript enum and const enum declarations.

Solution

  • Added genEnum(name, members, options, indent) in src/typescript.ts.
  • Supports string array members (["Bar", "Baz"]), record maps ({ Bar: "bar", Baz: 0 }), const: true for const enums, and export: true.
  • Updated README.md documentation.

Testing

  • Added unit tests in test/typescript.test.ts verifying enum generation across plain, exported, numeric, and const enum variants.
  • Verified all 66 tests and build pass cleanly with 100% coverage.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added generation of TypeScript namespace declarations.
    • Added generation of string and numeric enums, with optional const and export modifiers.
    • Added support for generating global declarations with declare global.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the enum generation feature in the README.

Fixes unjs#123

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The TypeScript generators now support declare global, namespace declarations with interfaces, and configurable string or numeric enums. Tests cover the new output forms, and the README documents genEnum.

Changes

TypeScript generator enhancements

Layer / File(s) Summary
Global augmentation support
src/typescript.ts, test/typescript.test.ts
genAugmentation emits declare global for the "global" specifier and retains declare module for other specifiers.
Namespace generation
src/typescript.ts, test/typescript.test.ts
genNamespace generates namespace declarations with optional interfaces.
Enum generation
src/typescript.ts, test/typescript.test.ts, README.md
genEnum supports string and numeric members with optional const and export modifiers. The README documents the function.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 73fda

The change adds enum generation but can produce invalid TypeScript for reserved member names and can alter augmentation behavior for the module specifier "global". The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for these bounded correctness issues.

TypeScript handbook module augmentation declare module "global" declare global module specifier rules

💡 Result:

TypeScript module augmentation and global augmentation are techniques for extending existing declarations [1][2]. Their behavior depends critically on whether the containing file is treated as a module [3][4]. Module Augmentation Module augmentation allows you to add members to existing interfaces or namespaces within a specific module [1][2]. - Syntax: Use the declare module keyword followed by the target module's specifier (a string literal) [1][4]. - Requirement: The file must be a module, meaning it contains at least one top-level import or export statement [3][4]. If no natural imports exist, use export {} to force module context [3][4][5]. - Behavior: The declarations within the block are merged with the original module's exports [1]. - Scope: Only files that import the augmented module will see the new declarations [2]. - Limitations: You cannot declare new top-level declarations (only patch existing ones) and cannot augment default exports directly (you must target the named export) [1]. Global Augmentation Global augmentation extends types in the global namespace, making them available throughout the entire project [2][6]. - Syntax: Use declare global inside a module file [1][7]. - Requirement: Like module augmentation, the file must be treated as a module (e.g., must contain a top-level import or export) [7][5]. - Scope: Changes affect the global scope and are visible in every file in the compilation without requiring explicit imports [2][6]. - Use Case: Typically used for extending built-in prototypes (e.g., String.prototype, Array.prototype) or adding properties to the window object [2][6]. Module Specifier Rules The module specifier used in declare module "..." must match the string literal used in your project's import or require statements to reference that module [1][4]. If the specifier matches an existing module, TypeScript performs augmentation; if it does not, TypeScript creates a new "ambient" module declaration [3][5]. To ensure an augmentation occurs, you must ensure the specifier exactly matches the path used by the module resolution algorithm [1][8]. Key Differences - Visibility: Module augmentation is scoped to imports; global augmentation is project-wide [2]. - Syntax: Module augmentation requires a target specifier (declare module "pkg"); global augmentation uses declare global [1][5]. - Both rely on declaration merging (interfaces and namespaces) and cannot modify existing function signatures, type aliases, or remove members [1][4][5].

Do not reserve "global" as a module specifier.

genAugmentation("global") now emits declare global instead of declare module "global". Preserve module output for every specifier value. Use an explicit augmentation-kind option and add a regression test for the collision.

TypeScript 5.4 enum member names NaN Infinity -Infinity restriction release notes

💡 Result:

In TypeScript 5.4, the use of Infinity, -Infinity, or NaN as enum member names is no longer permitted [1][2]. This change was introduced to prevent potential conflicts and confusing behavior during enum member evaluation and transpilation, where these names could unintentionally overlap with global properties or interfere with the reverse mapping mechanism used by TypeScript enums [3][4][5]. If you attempt to use these names as enum keys in TypeScript 5.4 or later, the compiler will issue an error stating that an enum member cannot have a numeric name [1][2][6]. Example of the restricted code: enum E { Infinity = 0, "-Infinity" = 1, NaN = 2, } The TypeScript compiler will flag these definitions as invalid [1][2]. This restriction is separate from existing, long-standing rules that also prohibit constant enum expressions from evaluating to NaN or Infinity [7][8].

Reject TypeScript-reserved enum member names.

TypeScript 5.9.3 rejects NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity as enum member names. genObjectKey emits the first two as identifiers and the third as a string key, so both genEnum branches can generate invalid TypeScript. Validate these names before rendering and add regression cases for array and record inputs.
