| // Hintable is the set of types that we can de/serialize with hints. |
| // |
| // When we deserialize objects from a typeless format, such as a query string, |
| // we can use a hint object to figure out how to deserialize the value. |
| // |
| // For example "a=1" could be deserialized as {a:'1'} or {a:1}, but if we |
| // provide a hint object, e.g. {a:100}, the deserializer can look at the type of |
| // the value in the hint and use that to guide the deserialization to correctly |
| // choose {a:1}. |
| export type Hintable = number | boolean | string | any[] | HintableObject; |
| |
| // HintableObject is any object with strings for keys and only contains Hintable |
| // values. |
| export type HintableObject = { [key: string]: Hintable }; |
