Generate a customized object with specified criteria

Looking to achieve the same goal as described in this reference, I am attempting to generate an object of a mapped type. Despite my efforts, I continue encountering type errors during implementation.

Here is a simplified example:

[code snippet]

When assigning values to result, the following type error arises:

[error message]

The main distinction from previous inquiries lies in the requirement for properties of the unmapped type FS to adhere to the constraint imposed by

FS extends SingleArgFunctionObject
. Is there an alternative solution that does not involve asserting result as any?

It might be a good idea to reorganize your data types in order to eliminate conditional types (which can be tricky for the compiler to handle) and utilize mapped types and inference from mapped types as much as possible. Your makeArrayed() function seems to be in good shape as it is.

I propose defining SingleArgFunctionObject and ArrayedReturnFunctionObject as generics that operate on the object type AS... the concept being that each property of AS is treated akin to the A in your SingleArgFunction<A> and ArrayedReturnFunction<A>:

type SingleArgFunctionObject<AS extends object> = {
    [K in keyof AS]: SingleArgFunction<AS[K]>
}

type ArrayedReturnFunctionObject<AS extends object> = {
    [K in keyof AS]: ArrayedReturnFunction<AS[K]>
}

With this in place, makeArrayedAll() will be generic with respect to AS. The challenging aspect to keep the compiler happy is ensuring that the for loop treats each key as a generic K extends keyof AS. This can be achieved more easily by utilizing the forEach() method of arrays:

function makeArrayedAll<AS extends object>(
    fs: SingleArgFunctionObject<AS>
): ArrayedReturnFunctionObject<AS> {
    const result = {} as ArrayedReturnFunctionObject<AS>;
    (Object.keys(fs) as (keyof AS)[]).forEach(<K extends keyof AS>(key: K) => {
        result[key] = makeArrayed(fs[key]);
    })
    return result;
}

This should generate the same outcome as your original code, but now the compiler has greater confidence that makeArrayed(fs[key]) of type

ArrayedReturnFunction<AS[K]>
can be assigned to result[key] of type
ArrayedReturnFunctionObject<AS>[K]
.

Hope this explanation helps! Best of luck!
