fix: 🧪 Replace any with more refined types

[Beraliv]

Goal

Hey @lukeed! It took me some time to create a draft.

Please let me know if you'd like to see dependencies like typescript and ts-essentials (I don't insist but some utilities may be handy but I will leave it up to you)

Related to #169

Summary

• Added typescript@^4.5 as devDependency to be able to run type tests
• Added ts-essentials as devDependency to use DeepPartial e.g. for equal (TBC)
• TBC (it's still in progress)

Apologies for

Planned

• Replace types for ok, equal, type, instance, not
• Added type tests for all changed declarations

Hi there, there is zero reason to add typescript (or essentials) as a depending here. At best, they’d be devDependencies, but still I don’t even see need for them there either. A “dependency” means everyone will forcibly download it at installation because X is needed at runtime.

The ArrayOrSingle type is exactly what I have already. Please remove, pointless change

@lukeed hey! Thanks for a quick response!

I agree with you. I'm planning to add type tests to make sure there are no regressions, therefore you would need typescript to be listed as devDependency.

No problem, addressed it in abeebd1
