AI solution for TypeScript puzzle on BFE.dev
58. implement Diff<A, B>
Here's one possible solution using mapped types and conditional types:
type DiffKeys<A, B> = { [K in keyof A | keyof B as Exclude<K, keyof A & keyof B>]: K extends keyof A ? (K extends keyof B ? never : K) : K extends keyof B ? K : never}[keyof A | keyof B];
Let's break it down:
- We start with a mapped type that iterates over each key in
keyof A | keyof B
. We use theas
clause to rename this type variable toK
. - We check if
K
is not in the intersection ofkeyof A
andkeyof B
using theExclude
type. If it's not, we include it in the resulting type. - For each key
K
, we use a conditional type to check if it exists inkeyof A
. If it does, we check if it exists inkeyof B
. If it does, we returnnever
, since this key should not be included in the result. If it doesn't, we returnK
, since this key is unique toA
. - If
K
is not inkeyof A
, we check if it exists inkeyof B
. If it does, we returnK
, since this key is unique toB
. If it doesn't, we returnnever
.
Finally, we wrap the whole thing in an indexed access type to get the union of all the keys in the resulting object.
With this code, DiffKeys<{a: 1, b: 2}, {b: 1, c: 2}>
returns 'a' | 'c'
