With regard to complex types; we'd probably want to mixallowlist with the following part of#4429

Hi,
in the end, some types not from the standard lib need to be whitelisted - for exampleJQueryStatic from@types/jquery AFAIK cannot be made readonly due tosindresorhus/type-fest#337.

Originally, I wanted to be able to extend the feature of checking whether a type belongs to the standard lib to these types as well - so you'd have something likeallowlist: [["HTMLElement", "DOM"], ["JQueryStatic", "@types/jquery"]]. However, after digging through the is-standard-lib-check code, I found no easy way to specify the "package" from where the type is (I gues you could check for declaration file name substring, but that seems brittle).

So I split the allowlist between internal, which checks stdlib, and user-configurable. Let me know what you think of this or if you see any better approach.

Hi,
I think the PR is basically ready, with some outstanding points I don't know how to resolve myself

• What to do with internal vs. external allowlist - seefeat(eslint-plugin): [prefer-readonly-parameter-types] added an optional type allowlist #4436 (comment)
• I needed to addlib: dom to the testtsconfig.json, however, that broke one existing test. Could the lib be set per-test? I'd also like to test a custom type that happens to have the same name as an internal-whitelisted one (but isn't internal, so shouldn't actually be whitelisted)
• What should the internal whitelist look like? Currently, it's just["HTMLElement"], do you know of any other types causing issues?
• There's something strange going on with the netlify deployment - Ithink I didn't break it, so 🤷

after digging through the is-standard-lib-check code, I found no easy way to specify the "package" from where the type is (I guess you could check for declaration file name substring, but that seems brittle).

Yup, that's... pretty much what I'd do 😄. Checking whether it'snode_modules/package/ ornode_modules/@types/package is the best I can think of. This is part of why we generally prefer not to include these kinds of allowlists; names such asNode can be re-used and quite ambiguous. Long term we may want to build off of this PR and set up a standard format for how rules can specify type locations...

internal whitelist look like

How about empty? We generally try not to put forward opinions like which internal types do or don't match up with specific rule options. I don't think we want"HTMLElement" or any others by default.

Indeed,#4335 😢... it's better than it was, but still not fully fixed, onmain.

I found a better way! We could usehttps://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/b9efc3b6141f06d926b4067d086ed5f03f221c49/src/compiler/types.ts#L4018-L4019 if it weren't internal... Let's merge this and improve it if I can get TS to make it public, would that be okay?

How about empty? We generally try not to put forward opinions like which internal types do or don't match up with specific rule options. I don't think we want"HTMLElement" or any others by default.

I don't think that should be the default. Given that certain types are basically impossible to pass in a readonly fashion, reporting for e.g.HTMLElement is almost always pointless - there is just no way around this and everyone who stumbles upon this can either add it to the whitelist or disable the rule for that line. The only way it's justalmost pointless is that I can imagine you rewrite some functions to not take the full element as parameter, but something else (like its text contents or whatever...) See#4185 or#2699

I'm in favor of being conservative and not whitelisting anything where there's any chance of it being an actionable report, but I feel that for some types this is just not helpful.

🎉 Only took a year and a bit :D

Thanks for all the feedback and collaboration getting this ready and merged.

Yes! It took a while but the result is fantastic - thankyou@marekdedic for working with us!
