generated/types.d.ts

export interface TypeD {
  da: string;
  db: string;
  dc: string;
}

export interface Test { 
  a: string;
  b: string;
  c: string;
  d?: { __private: 'd' } & TypeD;
}

src/index.model.ts

import { Test } from 'generated/types';

type DType = NonNullable<Test['d']>;
export type Model = Pick<DType, keyof Exclude<DType, '__private'>>;

src/index.ts

import { Model } from './index.model';

export class A {
    value = <Model>{};
}

dist/index.model.d.ts

import { Test } from 'generated/types';
declare type DType = NonNullable<Test['d']>;
export declare type Model = Pick<DType, keyof Exclude<DType, '__private'>>;
export {};

dist/index.d.ts

export declare class A {
    value: Pick<{
        __private: "d";
    } & import("../generated/types").TypeD, "__private" | "da" | "db" | "dc">;
}

Expected behavior:

I would expect that dist/index.d.ts type definitions would result in:

import { Model } from './index.model';
export declare class A {
    value: Model;
}

In fact, this is the result of type definitions, if I change value = <Model>{}; to value: Model = <Model>{};.

Why doesn't typescript use Model directly when type asserting?

Actual behavior:

Results in:

export declare class A {
    value: Pick<{
        __private: "d";
    } & import("../generated/types").TypeD, "__private" | "da" | "db" | "dc">;
}

Playground Link:
I couldn't figure out how to compile declarations in playground, sorry :(

As an alternative please clone the following repo: https://github.com/klemenoslaj/typescript-type-assertion

Explanation:
This is quite a significant problem in monorepo environment.
What happens is that projects are compiled in the dist/ folder and they contain relative path like above (import("../generated/types")), which points from the src/ and not from dist/, effectively producing an error when projects start using one another.

Why doesn't typescript:

• use the original path from the import (generated/types)?
• use the type from assertion directly (Model)?

Clone repository repro được liên kết và biên dịch các tệp trong src/ với declarations được bật, sau đó so sánh dist/index.d.ts với đầu ra mong đợi. Bắt đầu bằng cách theo dõi quá trình tạo declaration cho assertion trong src/index.ts và kiểu Model từ src/index.model.ts. Được xem là hoàn tất khi declaration được tạo ra vẫn giữ Model và sử dụng một đường dẫn import vẫn hợp lệ từ dist/.
