💻 Code
declare function create<T>(fn: (get: () => T) => T): T
// Error: Cannot find name '_self'.
const store = create((get: () => typeof _self) => {
const _self = {
id: 123
}
return _self
})
🙁 Actual behavior
If tsconfig property target is greater than es5 TS gives an error: Cannot find name '_self', yet type of store is inferred correctly.
For es3 and es5 it works fine.
🙂 Expected behavior
No error 😄
I think it could be related to hoisting rules. Because es5 doesn't have let and const keywords and var is considered to be visible anywhere inside function. But maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, it would be nice if it worked, as it allows to help the compiler to infer circularly dependent types. Here is the actual example: https://github.com/pmndrs/zustand/discussions/991.
