fix(registry): don't declare the global Window via extends - #878
Conversation
Follow-up sweep for nuxt#852, invited by the triage note on nuxt#855. `interface Window extends XApi {}` is what turns a routine member collision into an unsuppressable failure. Interface declarations merge, so when another package declares one of the same members, the merged `Window` stops satisfying the `extends` clause this package added, and TypeScript reports TS2430 at every `Window` augmentation in the program — including the consumer's own, which are nowhere near the cause and which `skipLibCheck` cannot silence. Declaring the same members inline removes the clause that can fail. A genuine collision then surfaces as TS2687/TS2717 on the two conflicting declarations, both in `.d.ts` files, and so falls under `skipLibCheck` like any other dependency-vs-dependency disagreement. Covers the 19 remaining entries plus `google-tag-manager`, whose nuxt#855 fix narrowed the exposed surface but kept the `extends` clause for the member it still declares. `@paypal/paypal-js` declaring `paypal?: PayPalNamespace | null` is a live second instance of the collision, verified against the real package. Every member keeps its exact type and required/optional modifier, so this is not a type break. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Preserve the declared callMethod type.
When exactOptionalPropertyTypes is enabled, MetaPixelApi['callMethod'] includes undefined. Use callMethod?: Exclude<MetaPixelApi['callMethod'], undefined>.

Follow-up sweep for #852, invited by the triage note on #855:
#855 fixed the GTM entry by narrowing which members reach the global
Window. This closes the class by changing the shape that makes a collision catastrophic in the first place.The defect class
interface Window extends XApi {}is the part that turns a routine member collision into an unsuppressable failure. Interface declarations merge, so when any other package declares one of the same members, the mergedWindowstops satisfying theextendsclause this package added — and TypeScript reportsTS2430at everyWindowaugmentation in the program, including the consumer's own. Those are nowhere near the cause, andskipLibCheckcannot silence them because they are the consumer's own.tsfiles.Declaring the same members inline removes the clause that can fail:
A genuine collision then surfaces as
TS2687/TS2717on the two conflicting declarations, which are both in.d.tsfiles and therefore fall underskipLibChecklike any other dependency-vs-dependency disagreement — diagnosable, and pointing at the actual cause.This is not hypothetical — there is a second live instance
@paypal/paypal-js(the official PayPal SDK types, and a direct devDependency of this repo) declares:The registry declared
paypal: PayPalV6Namespace— required, and a different namespace type. Same two stacked incompatibilities as@gtm-support/core. Verified against the real package,strict,skipLibCheck: true, with a consumer that augmentsWindowfrom a.tsfile:TS2430atconsumer.tsCorrection to the framing in #855
The triage note on #855 said:
I could not reproduce that, and measured the opposite. On TS 5.9.3 and 6.0.3 the
TS2430anchors tolib.dom.d.ts— the primaryWindowdeclaration — soskipLibCheck: truesuppresses it regardless of whether the consumer augmentsWindowfrom a.tsfile, a.d.tsfile, or with its ownextendsclause. It surfaces pre-TS7 only withskipLibCheck: false. On tsgo the error is instead attributed to every augmentation site, including the consumer's own.tsfiles, which is whyskipLibCheckstops helping. That matches the original report in #852.The conclusion still holds, but for a different reason, and it is worth stating precisely because it bounds what this PR fixes:
window.paypalgetTS2722/TS18048"possibly undefined" at each read site. This PR does not change that — it is inherent to declaration merging, and it is equally true before and after.TS2430at every consumerWindowaugmentation. That is what this PR eliminates.Happy to be shown the configuration behind the original note if I've missed one — the repro is four files and I can push it as a fixture.
Scope
20 entries, all in
packages/script/src/runtime/registry/:ahrefs-analytics,calendly,clarity,cloudflare-web-analytics,google-adsense,google-recaptcha,hotjar,intercom,leaflet,linkedin-insight,matomo-analytics,meta-pixel,paypal,reddit-pixel,segment,snapchat-pixel,vimeo-player,x-pixel,youtube-player— plusgoogle-tag-manager, because #855'sPick<GoogleTagManagerApi, 'google_tag_manager'>narrowed the surface but kept theextendsclause, so that entry still carried the shape for its remaining member.The exact figure is 19 unfixed entries rather than ~25. The other
Windowaugmentations in the registry (bing-uet,crisp,databuddy-analytics,deskcrew,fathom-analytics,lemon-squeezy,maplibre,mixpanel-analytics,plausible-analytics,posthog,rybbit-analytics,speedcurve,tiktok-pixel,umami-analytics,usercentrics,vercel-analytics) already declare members inline, so they cannot produceTS2430and are left untouched.Semver — your call
As written, this is not a type break. Every member keeps its exact type and its exact required/optional modifier;
Window['fbq']and friends resolve to what they resolved to before. That is the reason I did not port #855'sPick<>literally: dropping members across 19 entries would be the broad break the triage note anticipated, and unlike GTM'sdataLayer— reached through(window as any)[dataLayerName]because its name is configurable — most of these members are read off barewindowby the registries themselves, so removing them would also break this package's own build.There is a stronger version available if you want it: for entries whose member is genuinely not guaranteed to exist under that name, drop it from the global
WindowGTM-style and let theuseScript*()proxy be the only typed access path. That is a break for anyone readingwindow.<prop>directly, and it is much broader than it was for GTM alone. I have deliberately not made that call — say the word and I will do it as a follow-up, behind whatever version you want.Worth noting either way:
segmentputs six very generic names on the globalWindow—track,page,identify,group,alias,reset. Those are the most likely of the whole registry to collide with something. This PR does not change that, but it does mean a collision on them no longer takes the consumer's build down at a distance.Tests
Extends
test/types/global-window.test-d.ts(the file the bot pushed onto #855) rather than adding a harness:toEqualTypeOf, so the rewrite stays type-identical to theextendsform it replaced — this is the guard on the "not a type break" claim above;Exclude<keyof XApi, keyof Window>isneverfor each entry, since inline lists no longer track the API automatically the wayextendsdid.GoogleTagManagerApiis exempted, asdataLayeris deliberately not global per fix(gtm): don't declaredataLayeron the globalWindow#855. Verified to fail when a member is removed from aWindowdeclaration.Type-level assertions cannot fail on the pre-fix code here — that is precisely what "type-identical" means — so the invariant itself is guarded by
test/unit/global-window-augmentation.test.ts, which scans the registry sources and asserts none declaresWindowvia anextendsclause. It fails onmainlisting all 20 offenders, and passes on this branch.Verification
