Replace TSMappedType::type_parameter with dedicated fields to match TSESTree

Summary

Successfully replaced TSMappedType::type_parameter (Box) with two dedicated fields that accurately represent the allowed syntax and match the TSESTree specification:

  • key: BindingIdentifier<'a> - The type parameter name (e.g., P in [P in keyof T])
  • constraint: TSType<'a> - The constraint (e.g., keyof T in [P in keyof T])

Changes Made

  • Updated TSMappedType struct definition in crates/oxc_ast/src/ast/ts.rs
    • Replaced type_parameter: Box<'a, TSTypeParameter<'a>> with key and constraint fields
    • Removed the #[estree(add_fields(...))] attribute as fields are now real
  • Updated parser in crates/oxc_parser/src/ts/types.rs
    • Modified parse_mapped_type() to extract and pass key and constraint separately
  • Updated serialization in crates/oxc_ast/src/serialize/ts.rs
    • Removed TSMappedTypeKey and TSMappedTypeConstraint serializers (no longer needed)
  • Updated codegen in crates/oxc_codegen/src/gen.rs
    • Updated to access key and constraint directly
  • Updated formatter in crates/oxc_formatter/src/write/mapped_type.rs
    • Updated to access key and constraint directly
  • Added semantic binding for TSMappedType in crates/oxc_semantic/src/binder.rs
    • Bind the key field with SymbolFlags::TypeParameter
    • Added TSMappedType case in builder.rs
  • Fixed no-unused-vars linter to handle TSMappedType keys correctly
    • Mapped type keys are always considered used
    • Added exception for type references within TSMappedType
  • Regenerated all generated files with just ast and traverse build script
  • Formatted code with cargo fmt

Testing

✅ All tests pass:

  • Parser unit tests: 54/54 passed
  • Codegen unit tests: 87/87 passed
  • Formatter unit tests: 82/82 passed
  • Semantic unit tests: 5/5 passed
  • Semantic integration tests: 39/39 passed (including test_ts_mapped_type)
  • Linter tests: 815/815 passed (including no-unused-vars tests)
  • Conformance tests: 100% pass rate with no regressions
  • Clippy: No warnings

✅ Manual testing verified:

  • Basic mapped types: { [P in keyof T]: T[P] }
  • Optional modifiers: { [P in keyof T]?: T[P] }
  • Readonly modifiers: { readonly [P in keyof T]: T[P] }
  • Name type (as clause): { [K in keyof T as NewType]: T[K] }
  • Combined modifiers: { -readonly [P in keyof T]-?: T[P] }
  • Nested mapped types work correctly
  • Mapped type keys used in value type: { [K in keyof T]: T[K] }
  • Mapped type keys not explicitly used: { [name in Foo]: Bar }

Benefits

  1. Type Safety: The AST structure now only allows syntactically valid constructs (no const, default, in, out modifiers that aren't applicable to mapped types)
  2. TSESTree Compatibility: Matches the structure expected by TypeScript tooling and TypeScript-ESLint
  3. Clarity: The intent and constraints are explicit in the type definition
  4. Maintainability: Reduces confusion about which fields are applicable
  5. Correctness: Prevents the possibility of creating invalid AST nodes
  6. Semantic Binding: Mapped type keys are now properly bound as symbols in the semantic analysis
  7. Linter Support: no-unused-vars rule correctly handles mapped type keys

<issue_title>Replace TSMappedType::type_parameter with dedicated fields to match TSESTree</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Summary

Currently, TSMappedType uses TSTypeParameter to represent its type parameter, which includes several fields that are syntactically invalid in mapped types (r#const, default). We should replace type_parameter with dedicated fields that accurately represent the allowed syntax and match the TSESTree specification.

Current Implementation

pub struct TSMappedType<'a> {
    pub span: Span,
    pub type_parameter: Box<'a, TSTypeParameter<'a>>,
    pub name_type: Option<TSType<'a>>,
    pub type_annotation: Option<TSType<'a>>,
    pub optional: Option<TSMappedTypeModifierOperator>,
    pub readonly: Option<TSMappedTypeModifierOperator>,
    pub scope_id: Cell<Option<ScopeId>>,
}

Problem

  1. Semantic Mismatch: TSTypeParameter includes fields that are not valid in mapped type syntax:

    • r#const - mapped types cannot use const modifier
    • default - mapped types cannot have default types
    • in - variance annotation not applicable to mapped types
    • out - variance annotation not applicable to mapped types
  2. TSESTree Incompatibility: The current structure doesn't match the TSESTree specification, which defines mapped types with separate key and constraint fields rather than a full type parameter.

This creates both a semantic mismatch where the AST structure allows syntactically invalid constructs and a compatibility issue with TypeScript tooling.

Proposed Solution

Replace type_parameter: Box<'a, TSTypeParameter<'a>> with two explicit fields to match TSESTree:

#[ast(visit)]
#[scope]
#[derive(Debug)]
#[generate_derive(CloneIn, Dummy, TakeIn, GetSpan, GetSpanMut, ContentEq, ESTree)]
pub struct TSMappedType<'a> {
    pub span: Span,
    /// The type parameter name (e.g., `P` in `[P in keyof T]`)
    pub key: BindingIdentifier<'a>,
    /// The constraint (e.g., `keyof T` in `[P in keyof T]`)
    pub constraint: TSType<'a>,
    pub name_type: Option<TSType<'a>>,
    pub type_annotation: Option<TSType<'a>>,
    pub optional: Option<TSMappedTypeModifierOperator>,
    pub readonly: Option<TSMappedTypeModifierOperator>,
    pub scope_id: Cell<Option<ScopeId>>,
}

Note: The existing #[estree(add_fields(key = TSMappedTypeKey, constraint = TSMappedTypeConstraint))] can be removed as these will now be real fields.

Benefits

  1. Type Safety: The AST structure will only allow syntactically valid constructs
  2. TSESTree Compatibility: Matches the structure expected by TypeScript tooling and TypeScript-ESLint
  3. Clarity: The intent and constraints are explicit in the type definition
  4. Maintainability: Reduces confusion about which TSTypeParameter fields are applicable
  5. Correctness: Prevents the possibility of creating invalid AST nodes

Example

For the mapped type:

type Readonly<T> = { readonly [P in keyof T]: T[P] }
  • key would be the identifier P (as BindingIdentifier)
  • constraint would be the type keyof T (as TSType)

TSESTree Compatibility

This change aligns Oxc's AST with typescript-eslint's TSESTree specification, which defines TSMappedType with key and constraint fields. This could help us to remove specific converting logic from OXC AST to ESTree</issue_description>

@copilot, oh, I just realized that after the change, we should handle the BindingIdentifier for TSMappedType in crates/oxc_semantic/src/binder.rs. Note that we can reuse the SymbolFlags::TypeParameter for it.

- Implement Binder trait for TSMappedType to bind the key field
- Add TSMappedType case in builder.rs to call bind()
- Key is bound with SymbolFlags::TypeParameter as suggested
- All tests pass including test_ts_mapped_type
- Snapshots updated showing keys are no longer unresolved references

Done! Added semantic binding for the key field in TSMappedType using SymbolFlags::TypeParameter as suggested. The implementation is in commit 35cd6e6.

Changes:

  • Added Binder implementation for TSMappedType in binder.rs
  • Added TSMappedType case in builder.rs to call the bind method
  • The test_ts_mapped_type test now passes, properly recognizing K as a declared symbol

Fixed! The CI was failing due to the no-unused-vars linter not handling TSMappedType keys correctly.

Changes in commit 5df64d7:

  • Added TSMappedType to the AST kind handling in is_ignored() - mapped type keys are always considered used
  • Added exception in type reference checks to allow references within TSMappedType nodes
  • All 815 linter tests now pass
