使状态管理系统类型安全时的循环引用

Circular reference when making state management system typesafe

我在一个旧项目中的状态管理系统使用的是 MobX。最近我想让它与 SSR 一起工作(因为我在较新的项目中取得了成功)。

我们的想法是让一个商店经理来管理所有商店,商店也可以访问它以便能够读取和修改其他商店。这适用于 JavaScript,但 TypeScript 使它成为一个问题。

我已经设法将问题隔离到一个可重现的示例中。您可以 运行 在 TypeScript playground 中查看此问题。

/**
 * The manager holds all the stores in the application
 */
class StoreManager<T extends Record<string, InitializableStore>> {
  public stores: T = {} as any

  constructor(
    public instantiators: { [K in keyof T]: (manager: any) => T[K] },
  ) {
    for (const [name, creator] of Object.entries(instantiators)) {
      this.stores[name as keyof T] = creator(this)
    }
  }

  public async init() {
    console.info("Initializing stores")
    await Promise.all(Object.values(this.stores).map((x) => x.init()))
  }
}

export type Manager = StoreManager<Stores>

/** 
 * This class represents a store which should have access to the manager
 */

class InitializableStore {
  constructor(protected manager: Manager) {}

  public init(): void | Promise<void> {}
}


/** 
 * Helper function for creating a store factory
 */
const createStoreFactory = <S extends InitializableStore>(
  storeClass: new (manager: Manager) => S,
) => (manager: Manager) => new storeClass(manager)


/**
 * Example store set up
 */

class StoreA extends InitializableStore {
  public init() {}

  public meow() {
    console.log("Meow")
  }
}

class StoreB extends InitializableStore {
  public init() {
    const { storeA } = this.manager.stores
    storeA.meow()
  }

  public woof() {
    console.log("Woof!")
  }
}

const storeA = createStoreFactory(StoreA)
const storeB = createStoreFactory(StoreB)

/**
 * Defining the stores for the manager here
 * */
const stores = { storeA, storeB }

export type StoreMapReturn<
  T extends Record<string, (manager: Manager) => InitializableStore>
> = {
  [K in keyof T]: ReturnType<T[K]>
}

/**
 * This errors, because there's a circular reference
 */
export type Stores = StoreMapReturn<typeof stores>

由于商店需要访问经理,因此类型非常复杂并且实际上不起作用,因为存在循环引用。在完美的情况下,它会像这样工作:

基本上,编译器必须为 Stores 类型推断以下链:

type Stores = typeof stores > createStoreFactory > Manager > StoreManager<Stores> > Stores 
//        ^                          circular                                      ↩

以上循环引用无法解决。如果将鼠标悬停在 const storeA 初始值设定项上,您会得到:

'storeA' implicitly has type 'any' because it does not have a type annotation and is referenced directly or indirectly in its own initializer.

这个错误声明做了很好的解释工作:我们可以用显式类型注释其中一个 const 变量来结束循环类型解析 (sample):

type StoreFactory<T extends InitializableStore> = (manager: Manager) => T

const storeA: StoreFactory<StoreA> = createStoreFactory(StoreA)
const storeB: StoreFactory<StoreB> = createStoreFactory(StoreB)

如果每个商店重复太多,您可以先以自上而下的方式定义 Stores (sample):

export type Stores = {
  storeA: StoreA;
  storeB: StoreB;
}
export type StoreFactories = { [K in keyof Stores]: (manager: Manager) => Stores[K] }

const storeA = createStoreFactory(StoreA)
const storeB = createStoreFactory(StoreB)
const stores: StoreFactories = { storeA, storeB }
