Is it possible to describe an object of type Record<string, string | number | boolean > from the js/ts library with the rescript type.
I can’t predict the key for that input so I should use Js.Dict.t, but I can’t think of a suitable 'a to describe all the possibilities. The first step in rescript for this input would be a check function to verify that this input type meets expectations. For the data after this step of checking and conversion I know how to use the rescript type description
If an accurate description is not possible, what are the best practices for such inputs?

Yes, in ReScript v11 this is easy with untagged variants:

The playground doesn’t have rc.4 yet so I added | as(true) True | @as(false) False to handle booleans, but with rc.4 you’ll be able to simply do Boolean(bool).
