Let's consider the functions setup and retrieve:
function setup<Data = any>() {
// ...
}
function retrieve<Data = any>(): Data {
return 1 as Data
}
If we execute the setup function:
type Item = {name: 'example'}
setup<Item>()
I am interested in automatically inferring the return type of the retrieve function to be the same as the input type for the setup function.
const result = retrieve()
// Desired outcome: the type of result is inferred as `Item`
I have a feeling this might not be achievable. One possible solution could involve having the setup function return something of type S, which can then be passed to the retrieve function. Are there any other approaches to tackle this issue?
