Typescript ReturnType of generic function

by

This is my currently working solution for extracting un-exported internal types of imported libraries (like knex):

// foo is an imported function that I have no control over
function foo<T>(e: T): InternalType<T> {
    return e;
}

class Wrapper<T> {
  // wrapped has no explicit return type so we can infer it
  wrapped(e: T) {
    return foo<T>(e)
  }
}

type FooInternalType<T> = ReturnType<Wrapper<T>['wrapped']>
type Y = FooInternalType<number>
// Y === InternalType<number>
