Function SelfReferenceType

SelfReferenceType(): UnifiedType<SelfReferenceType>

Create a self-reference for recursive types.

Use this when a type needs to reference itself, such as tree structures or linked lists. The reference resolves to the containing named type.

Returns UnifiedType<SelfReferenceType>

Example

// A tree node that contains children of the same type
const TreeNode = ObjectType("TreeNode", {
  value: StringType(),
  children: ArrayType(SelfReferenceType()),
});

// A linked list node
const ListNode = ObjectType("ListNode", {
  value: IntType(),
  next: OptionalType(SelfReferenceType()),
});
