import { type Writable } from "https://dotland.deno.dev/x/scaffold@0.3.0/src/deps/types.ts";
Create a type that strips readonly
from all or some of an object's keys. Inverse of Readonly<T>
.
This can be used to store and mutate options within a class, edit readonly
objects within tests, construct a readonly
object within a function, or to define a single model where the only thing that changes is whether or not some of the keys are writable.

Example 1
import type {Writable} from 'type-fest';
type Foo = {
readonly a: number;
readonly b: readonly string[]; // To show that only the mutability status of the properties, not their values, are affected.
readonly c: boolean;
};
const writableFoo: Writable<Foo> = {a: 1, b: ['2'], c: true};
writableFoo.a = 3;
writableFoo.b[0] = 'new value'; // Will still fail as the value of property "b" is still a readonly type.
writableFoo.b = ['something']; // Will work as the "b" property itself is no longer readonly.
type SomeWritable = Writable<Foo, 'b' | 'c'>;
// type SomeWritable = {
// readonly a: number;
// b: readonly string[]; // It's now writable. The type of the property remains unaffected.
// c: boolean; // It's now writable.
// }
