通过添加新类型来检查区分联合的类型

Question

Lets say I have the following typescript types:

enum EntityKind {
  Foo = 'foo',
  Bar = 'bar',
}

type Foo = {
  kind: EntityKind.Foo,
  foo: string
}

type Bar = {
  kind: EntityKind.Bar,
  bar: number
}

type Entity = (Foo | Bar) & {
  id: string,
  name: string
}

What I want is to be able to have the type checker fail when I add a new type to my enum. So what I'm hoping for is:

enum EntityKind {
  Foo = 'foo',
  Bar = 'bar',
  Baz = 'baz',
}

and I would get some kind of error that would require me to define a new type Baz and add it to the union.

Is this possible?

If you want an error in the type Entity you could add another type to the intersection that requires EntityKind to extend EntityUnion['kind'] :

enum EntityKind {
  Foo = 'foo',
  Bar = 'bar',
}

type Foo = {
  kind: EntityKind.Foo,
  foo: string
}

type Bar = {
  kind: EntityKind.Bar,
  bar: number
}
type Check<T, U extends T> = {}

type EntityUnion = Foo | Bar 
type Entity = EntityUnion & {
  id: string,
  name: string
} & Check<EntityUnion['kind'], EntityKind>
