Polymorphic / generic types?

[dessalines]

I'm trying to use this monads library to convert my nullable / undefined fields from my API calls, to rust-style Options. With it I can provide compile-time checking for nullable fields.

I get the following error from the example below.

'OptionT' only refer to a type, but is being used as a value here.

import 'reflect-metadata';
import { jsonObject, jsonMember, TypedJSON } from 'typedjson';
import { Some, Option as OptionT } from "@sniptt/monads";

@jsonObject
class MyDataClass {
    @jsonMember
    prop1?: string;

    @jsonMember
    prop2: OptionT<string>;
}


let serializer = new TypedJSON(MyDataClass);
serializer.mapType(
  OptionT, // Option doesn't work here for some reason, because its generic?
  {
  deserializer: json => json == null ? json : Some(json),
  serializer: value => value == null ? value : value.unwrap(),
});


const obj = new MyDataClass();
obj.prop1 = "opt";
obj.prop2 = Some("22");

const json = serializer.stringify(obj);
const object2 = serializer.parse(json);

console.log(json);
console.log(object2);

object2 instanceof MyDataClass; // true

output

{"prop1":"opt","prop2":{}} // Not serializing / stringifying correctly                 
MyDataClass { prop1: 'opt', prop2: {} }
