For example::
|
||||
|
||||
def is_str(val: Union[str, float]):
|
||||
# "isinstance" type guard
|
||||
if isinstance(val, str):
|
||||
# Type of ``val`` is narrowed to ``str``
|
||||
...
|
||||
def is_str_list(val: list[object]) -> TypeGuard[list[str]]:
|
||||
'''Determines whether all objects in the list are strings'''
|
||||
return all(isinstance(x, str) for x in val)
|
||||
|
||||
def func1(val: list[object]):
|
||||
if is_str_list(val):
|
||||
# Type of ``val`` is narrowed to ``list[str]``.
|
||||
print(" ".join(val))
|
||||
else:
|
||||
# Else, type of ``val`` is narrowed to ``float``.
|
||||
...
|
||||
# Type of ``val`` remains as ``list[object]``.
|
||||
print("Not a list of strings!")
|
||||
|
||||
Strict type narrowing is not enforced -- ``TypeB`` need not be a narrower
|
||||
form of ``TypeA`` (it can even be a wider form) and this may lead to
|
||||
type-unsafe results. The main reason is to allow for things like
|
||||
narrowing ``List[object]`` to ``List[str]`` even though the latter is not
|
||||
a subtype of the former, since ``List`` is invariant. The responsibility of
|
||||
narrowing ``list[object]`` to ``list[str]`` even though the latter is not
|
||||
a subtype of the former, since ``list`` is invariant. The responsibility of
|
||||
writing type-safe type guards is left to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
``TypeGuard`` also works with type variables. For more information, see
