Migrate to Shoehorn

Why shoehorn?

shoehorn lets you pass partial data in tests while keeping TypeScript happy. It replaces as assertions with type-safe alternatives.

Test code only. Never use shoehorn in production code.

Problems with as in tests:

  • Trained not to use it
  • Must manually specify target type
  • Double-as (as unknown as Type) for intentionally wrong data
