Working with function types

[Jason Kuhrt]

Examples:

• Remove a union member from the return type
• add a union member to the return type
• remove a paramter
• add a paramter
• map over the paramters
• ...

Would this be in scope for this project?

[Gabriel Vergnaud]

Maybe a few functions like Functions.MapArguments<Mapper> and Functions.MapReturnType<Mapper> could be added to support these use cases?

type DoStuff<Fn> = Pipe<Fn, [
  // Remove a union member from the return type
  Functions.MapReturnType<Union.Exclude<"a">>,
  // add a union member to the return type
  Functions.MapReturnType<Union.Append<"b">>,
  // remove a parameter
  Functions.MapArguments<Tuples.Filter<Boolean.Extends<number>>>,
  // add a parameter
  Functions.MapArguments<Tuples.Append<"1" | "2" | "3">>,
  // map over the parameters
  Functions.MapArguments<Tuples.Map<Strings.ToNumber>>,
]>

What do you think?

[Mark Erikson]

Potentially useful, yeah.

Going back to the Reselect MergeParameters example I'd linked at https://github.com/reduxjs/reselect/blob/v4.1.5/src/types.ts#L100-L148 (and the updated version from Anders Hejlsberg at https://github.com/reduxjs/reselect/blob/b2a85eeac3312bb62ae3c26bb44d9aabd8641552/src/versionedTypes/ts47-mergeParameters.ts )... what might those look like with this style of typing?

Added Functions.MapParameters and Functions.MapReturnType to the latest release! let me know what you think
