preserving keys (+ types by key) while mapping over objects (R.mapObjIndexed, R.map) about npm-ramda HOT 8 CLOSED

Update: so it looks like it should be possible; thanks to the helpful community at the TypeScript repo for helping point that out.
I'm currently still trying to figure out the details though. Anders was already helpful enough to provide a relevant example in his PR:

function mapObject<K extends string | number, T, U>(obj: Record<K, T>, f: (x: T) => U): Record<K, U>;

My current confusion is w.r.t. how I might be able to reapply constructs like the type T5 = { [P in keyof Item]: Item[P] }; so as to be able to have the result types per key be calculated based on the original type in the object for that value along with the function in/out types. Open to ideas.

Made a PR for this here now.

I think in keyof syntax is new in TS 2.1 so it would be required to run?
For me that is totally OK as I want to add ReadOnlyArray in #113 that is only supported in TS 2.0 :-).

Yeah, I'm under the impression it's pretty new. That said, I imagine there shouldn't be too many downsides to upgrading...

from npm-ramda.

This can be supported once 2.2.0 is released as stable. 2.1 is currently in RC, and keyof is currently in the nightlies.

@blakeembrey: Yeah, basic support (preserving keys) is possible with keyof, though as it stands the full intention here (types separate by key, rather than assuming they're all homogeneous) so far isn't it seems -- note TypeScript's mhegazy couldn't quite figure this out yet either, and eventually recommended following this existing thread.
That said, it definitely seems time to jack up this TS version. :)

Sounds great. I just found the thread because I was using pick and the latest nightly, and this issue covered the new keyof feature. I'm sure there's some other places where it'll be useful too. Looking forward to 2.2 stable myself, updating the RethinkDB definition will be lots of fun too 😄

This is mostly blocked by microsoft/TypeScript#6606, will retry after.
