Refactor model transformers and test helpers to use payload interfaces instead of 'any'

Overview of the Feature Request

Refactor model transformers and test helpers to use payload interfaces instead of 'any'

Example

Use a payload model like:

export interface DatasetPreviewPayload {
  global_id: string;
  name: string;
  versionId: number;
  majorVersion: number;
  minorVersion: number;
  versionState: string;
  createdAt: string;
  updatedAt: string;
  published_at?: string;
  citation: string;
  description: string;
}

export const transformDatasetPreviewsResponseToPreviews = (response: AxiosResponse): DatasetPreview[] => {
  const datasetPreviews: DatasetPreview[] = [];
  const datasetPreviewsPayload = response.data.data.items;
  datasetPreviewsPayload.forEach(function (datasetPreviewPayload: DatasetPreviewPayload) {
    datasetPreviews.push(transformDatasetPreviewPayloadToDatasetPreview(datasetPreviewPayload));
  });
  return datasetPreviews;
};

const transformDatasetPreviewPayloadToDatasetPreview = (
  datasetPreviewPayload: DatasetPreviewPayload,
): DatasetPreview => {
  return {
    persistentId: datasetPreviewPayload.global_id,
    title: datasetPreviewPayload.name,
    versionId: datasetPreviewPayload.versionId,
    versionInfo: {
      majorNumber: datasetPreviewPayload.majorVersion,
      minorNumber: datasetPreviewPayload.minorVersion,
      state: datasetPreviewPayload.versionState as DatasetVersionState,
      createTime: new Date(datasetPreviewPayload.createdAt),
      lastUpdateTime: new Date(datasetPreviewPayload.updatedAt),
      ...(datasetPreviewPayload.published_at && { releaseTime: new Date(datasetPreviewPayload.published_at) }),
    },
    citation: datasetPreviewPayload.citation,
    description: datasetPreviewPayload.description,
  };
};

Instead of

export const transformDatasetPreviewsResponseToPreviews = (response: AxiosResponse): DatasetPreview[] => {
  const datasetPreviews: DatasetPreview[] = [];
  const datasetPreviewsPayload = response.data.data.items;
  // eslint-disable-next-line  @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
  datasetPreviewsPayload.forEach(function (datasetPreviewPayload: any) {
    datasetPreviews.push(transformDatasetPreviewPayloadToDatasetPreview(datasetPreviewPayload));
  });
  return datasetPreviews;
};

// eslint-disable-next-line  @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
const transformDatasetPreviewPayloadToDatasetPreview = (datasetPreviewPayload: any): DatasetPreview => {
  return {
    persistentId: datasetPreviewPayload.global_id,
    title: datasetPreviewPayload.name,
    versionId: datasetPreviewPayload.versionId,
    versionInfo: {
      majorNumber: datasetPreviewPayload.majorVersion,
      minorNumber: datasetPreviewPayload.minorVersion,
      state: datasetPreviewPayload.versionState as DatasetVersionState,
      createTime: new Date(datasetPreviewPayload.createdAt),
      lastUpdateTime: new Date(datasetPreviewPayload.updatedAt),
      ...(datasetPreviewPayload.published_at && { releaseTime: new Date(datasetPreviewPayload.published_at) }),
    },
    citation: datasetPreviewPayload.citation,
    description: datasetPreviewPayload.description,
  };
};

Any open or closed issues related to this feature request?

• https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-client-javascript/pull/107 (First time we introduce payload models to avoid 'any')

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the model transformers and test helpers that use any, then compare the payload-model approach in pull request #107. Done means the relevant payload values use explicit interfaces instead of any, with existing tests still passing.
