Exposing group and block types when generating types
2
I want to write some generic mappings that maps from payload's types to props for my frontend React components. Blocks and groups aren't exposed at the top level, so I'm having to manually pick them out by unpacking arrays and extracting specific blocks.
Is it possible to expose these when generating types? Or is there a simpler way for me to define these types based on the generated typings?
Hey @sam6466 , have you seen how this is done in our website repo? This might be a pattern you would benefit from.
https://github.com/payloadcms/website/blob/main/src/components/RenderBlocks/index.tsx
type ColTextMedia = Extract< Required<MyCollection>['content'][0], {blockType: 'col-text-media'} >;Had to add the required for it to work, ts 4.9.5
