I started using the Core library. I also use a lot of GenType. In my code I’m using expressions like Null.t<string> and Undefined.t<string>. The GenType .tsx file is showing errors on these lines saying the .gen files are missing. I can’t get it to work. What specific shims files do I need? Can I put everything in one shim file or is there some special naming convention?
I don’t understand the bsconfig.json settings. What is the first parameter and what is the second? I’ve tried various flavors of Core.Undefined, Core__Undefined, etc. but can’t figure out the magic configuration needed.
import type {t as Null_t} from './Null.gen';
import type {t as Undefined_t} from './Undefined.gen';
Ugh! Each time I see these kinds of errors I worry whether I’ll be able to resolve it. Maybe the documentation for shims need improvement? I created two files inside my shims folder - Null.shim.ts and Undefined.shim.ts. Here’s what is inside the Undefined.shim.ts…
export type t<A> = A | undefined;
Here is my bsconfig.json…
