unwrapLiteral

Import from @varavel/vdl-plugin-sdk/utils/ir.

function unwrapLiteral<T>(value): T;

Resolves a LiteralValue into its native JavaScript representation.

Pass a generic when you already know the expected shape. Omit it to get unknown and narrow the result yourself.

The generic only affects TypeScript types. It does not validate the runtime value.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Default type
T	unknown

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
value	LiteralValue	The VDL literal to convert.

Returns

T

The recursively unwrapped JavaScript value.

Examples

const raw = unwrapLiteral({
  position: { file: "schema.vdl", line: 1, column: 1 },
  kind: "string",
  stringValue: "hello",
});
// returns "hello"

const value = unwrapLiteral<{ enabled: boolean }>(
  {
    position: { file: "schema.vdl", line: 1, column: 1 },
    kind: "object",
    objectEntries: [
      {
        position: { file: "schema.vdl", line: 1, column: 1 },
        key: "enabled",
        value: {
          position: { file: "schema.vdl", line: 1, column: 1 },
          kind: "bool",
          boolValue: true,
        },
      },
    ],
  },
);
// returns { enabled: true }
