How do I tell deno check to ignore this?

type your variables

const ENV = (the_env || 'unspecified') as unknown as ENVIRONMENTS

thank you. ?? Is there a way to just tell the deno checker to ignore it ??

Doctor 🤖•3y ago

That forces typescript to shut up but it doesn’t mean the code will work.

dan.the.discloserOP•3y ago

agreed.

I like to do type Force = any then do 5 as Force when I know something will work but don’t want it to complain.

thank you. I understand. so there no way in deno checker to just turn it off for the next line (?) may I asked you another typing question? Is there anyway I can get the ENVIRONMENTS type other than manually like this?

export const COLORS  = {
  exp: { log: "yellow", site: "lightYellow" },
  unspecified: { log: "magenta", site: "lightPurple" },
  test: { log: "red", site: "pink" },
  shared: { log: "green", site: "lightGreen" },
  dev: { log: "blue", site: "lightBlue" },
  odd: { log: "cyan", site: "lightBlue" },
};



export type ENVIRONMENTS =
       "exp" | "unspecified" |  "test"  |  "shared" |  "dev" |  "odd"

export const COLORS  = {
  exp: { log: "yellow", site: "lightYellow" },
  unspecified: { log: "magenta", site: "lightPurple" },
  test: { log: "red", site: "pink" },
  shared: { log: "green", site: "lightGreen" },
  dev: { log: "blue", site: "lightBlue" },
  odd: { log: "cyan", site: "lightBlue" },
};



export type ENVIRONMENTS =
       "exp" | "unspecified" |  "test"  |  "shared" |  "dev" |  "odd"

You could make environments an enum. Types of are just meant to be sugar on top to understand things. It will all be stripped when transpiled to js. Enums will be values you can actually use to check if certain info is correct.
