How To Extend Document Type On Typescript?

can we extend Document to infer types of attributes while retrieving documents on Typescript? What's the preferred way? Because DocumentList<Document> doesn't include attributes and currently I have to go with any as workaround.

what's the usecase? iirc, the main structure would be in Document.data, DocumentList is just a type that holds a total: number & the list of documents. If you mean infer the return type from the sdk return types, I don't think so.

you can always play around with extended types though.

you could do some sort of documents.map((doc) => ...).

From what I understand, instead of doing document.data["Attribute"] Doing document.data.attribute so it gets completed automatically

i see, but the type won't exist due to data's dynamic nature. but iirc, there was a library by a community member that would pre-fetch the types. should be in #🛠│tools ig.

Maybe I didn't explained it well enough. Could be something totally related to ts only. Let me give bit more context. Give me a while

Following is a function I'm using to retrieve some aatribute from the documents.

  const statsData = await databases.listDocuments(
    APPWRITE_DB_ID,
    APPWRITE_FILES_COUNTS_COL_ID,
    [Query.select(["year", "month", "count"])]
  );

The return type right now is statsData is Models.DocumentList<Models.Document>. The Models.Document type has metadata related values mostly. like $id, $createdAt

Can I extend the type of Document such that along with the metadata, I can also get type of the attributes I've queried with Query.select()?

Along with the existing Document type, I also want to infer following when I access statsData

  interface Stat {
    year: number, 
    month: number, 
    count: number
  }
