fix(form-core): stop DeepKeys and DeepValue expansion on self-referencing types - #2422
musatoktas wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…cing types DeepKeysAndValuesImpl had no cycle or depth guard, so a type that contains itself (for example a recursive JSON type or an index signature that refers to its own type) was expanded until TypeScript reported TS2589. Track the array, tuple and object types on the current path and stop when one of them is reached again. The remaining path is typed as an unknown accessor, the same fallback already used for unknown values. Types without self-references produce the same keys and values as before. Fixes TanStack#1474 Fixes TanStack#1484

When a container type repeats, traversal emits an unknown-valued accessor instead of expanding it again. Type tests cover recursive paths, repeated non-recursive types, and optional properties.

- Line 192: Update the recursive fallback in UnknownDeepKeyAndValue<TParent> so
its key pattern accepts bracket-prefixed suffixes, preserving paths with
consecutive array indexes such as data[0][0]. Add coverage verifying
DeepKeys<JsonForm> accepts consecutive array-index paths.

When DeepKeysAndValuesImpl stops at a container type that repeats on the
path, the path continued as an unknown accessor that only allows a
`.${string}` suffix. For `type Json = Json[] | { [key: string]: Json }`
this rejected valid paths such as `data[0][0]`.
Use a dedicated accessor at the cut point that also accepts a bracket
suffix. The generic unknown accessor and types without self-references
are unchanged.
🎯 Changes
Fixes #1474 and #1484.
Problem.
DeepKeysandDeepValuefail with TS2589 ("Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite") when the form values contain a self-referencing type, for example a recursive JSON type (#1474) or an index signature that refers to its own type (#1484). Onmain(2216fde)type K = DeepKeys<{ name: string; data: JsonData }>takes 5,001,167 instantiations and about 7.4 s of Check time on TypeScript 5.9.3 before it errors.Root cause.
DeepKeysAndValuesImplrecurses throughDeepKeyAndValueArray,DeepKeyAndValueTupleandDeepKeyAndValueObjectwith no cycle or depth guard, so a type that contains itself is expanded until the compiler gives up.Change.
DeepKeysAndValuesImpland the three helpers get an optionalTVisitedparameter (defaultnever) that collects the array, tuple and object types on the path from the root. When a container that is identical to one already on the path is reached again, the expansion stops and the path continues as the existing unknown accessor (UnknownDeepKeyAndValue, for example`data.${string}`). Identity (not assignability) is used so that a different but structurally similar nested type is never treated as a repeat. Types without self-references produce the same keys and values as before; this is covered by the existingutil-typestests plus two new cases (a type reused in sibling positions, and optional-only objects nested in a similar object).Files:

data[0][0]anddata[0][0].xare valid keys (reported by the CodeRabbit review). The generic unknown accessor is unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit
DeepKeysandDeepValuebehavior for self-referencing types: path expansion stops when a container type repeats, while paths can continue through unknown accessors, including consecutive array indexes.
