Strong TypeScript declarations for the game Screeps.

Installation

The type definitions are published on DefinitelyTyped. To install them, run the following.

m
install @types/screeps

rn
 add @types/screeps

Differences from Screeps-Typescript-Declarations

Breaking Changes:

• Memory is typed by default. The added typings are:

• CreepMemory

• FlagMemory

• SpawnMemory

• RoomMemory

  If you like the idea of typed memory, but aren't ready to just jump fully in, you only need to make sure you define an interface for the above four types. Then you can extend them at a later time.

  Example:

  rface CreepMemory { [name: string]: any };
  rface FlagMemory { [name: string]: any };
  rface SpawnMemory { [name: string]: any };
  rface RoomMemory { [name: string]: any };
  

• Any place in code that uses a constant (ex STRUCTURE_EXTENSION or FIND_MY_SPAWNS is now constrained to use literal types. Here is the list of the new types:

  PartConstant
  dableStructureConstant (this is a subset of StructureConstant)
  ctureConstant
  Constant
  Constant
  ctionConstant
  urceConstant
  ralConstant (this is a subset of ResourceConstant)
  rConstant
  epsReturnCode
  ain
  

  To update your code, you just need to change any string types to match one of the above. For example, if your code had:

  tion getBody(): string[] {
  rn [ WORK, MOVE, CARRY ];
  
  

  Change it to:

  tion getBody(): BodyPartConstant[] {  // this line changed
  rn [ WORK, MOVE, CARRY ];
  
  

• Some original functions were incorrectly typed to not include null as a possible return. You may need to update your code to reflect this update (ex. findClosestByPath or findClosestByRange)

Additional (non-breaking) Features:

• ConstructionSite can be optionally constrained by a structure type (ex. ConstructionSite<STRUCTURE_CONTAINER>). TypeScript will enforce that the type property of the ConstructionSite appropriately matches
• Resource can optionally be constrained (ex. Resource<RESOURCE_ENERGY>)
• Mineral can optionally be constrained by MineralConstant (ex. Mineral<RESOURCE_GHODIUM>)
• Structure can optionally be constrained (ex Structure<STRUCTURE_SPAWN | STRUCTURE_EXTENSION>)
• Screeps classes derived from Structure (ex StructureContainer) have their type property correspondingly constrained
• LookAt results are now constrained to the type looked for
• Results from Find-type functions are now constrained to have a RoomPosition
• Typings for new RawMemory and RoomVisuals

Workarounds / Caveats

Due to some unresolved issues in TypeScript, a few parts of the API can't currenty be typed perfectly without tradeoffs.

Below is a list (feel free to open an issue if you have any ideas, or wish to discuss):

• The API returned from store or carry (ex. myContainter.store) returns an object with optional keys for each Resource Type, but is guaranteed to have a key for RESOURCE_ENERGY. This is currently not (perfectly) typable in TypeScript (see issues #13573 and #12215). The chosen workaround is to just manually list the types using a fake type _ResourceConstantSansEnergy
