Proposal to Make Prettify Type in Valibot Overridable for Better Developer Control

[devcaeg]

The Prettify type is an internal type used by Valibot. It acts as a “trick” in TypeScript to “unroll” the types, making them easier for the end user to understand. However, the Prettify type can cause issues because it “decomposes” the types, potentially leading to uncommon errors in TypeScript. Therefore, I propose that this type be declared in a declare module 'valibot' block. This would allow developers to override the type in their projects if, for example, they want to negate its effects.

declare module 'valibot/types' {
    export type Prettify<TObject> = {
        [TKey in keyof TObject]: TObject[TKey];
    } & {};
}

Thanks for bringing this up! I agree and will look into it, but it may take some time as other things have a higher priority for me right now.
