Type Alias InferObjectSchema<S>

InferObjectSchema: {
    [K in keyof S as S[K] extends { nullable: true } ? never : K]: InferFieldDef<
        S[K],
    >
} & {
    [K in keyof S as S[K] extends { nullable: true } ? K : never]?: InferFieldDef<
        S[K],
    >
}

Infers the TypeScript type from an ObjectSchema definition.

Primitive fields map to their TS equivalents via PrimitiveTypeMap
Enum fields become a union of their values (values[number])
Nested object fields recurse through InferObjectSchema — always required (never nullable)
Array fields become T[] where T is inferred from items
Fields with nullable: true become optional (T | undefined)
Object fields are always required because DynamoDB cannot update nested document paths if an intermediate object does not exist

Type Parameters

S extends ObjectSchema

Example

const schema = {
  name: { type: "string" },
  age: { type: "number", nullable: true },
  status: { type: "enum", values: ["active", "inactive"] },
  tags: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" } },
  geo: { type: "object", fields: { lat: { type: "number" }, lng: { type: "number" } } }
} as const satisfies ObjectSchema;

type MyType = InferObjectSchema<typeof schema>;
// {
//   name: string;
//   status: "active" | "inactive";
//   tags: string[];
//   geo: { lat: number; lng: number };
//   age?: number;
// }
