In typescript, I need a type called C, with fields A and B (both string), and C, a boolean. Where B is required if C is true, and hidden if it is not.

In TypeScript, you can create a type called C with the fields A and B (both strings), and C (a boolean) using the following syntax:

type C = { A: string; B?: string; // the '?' indicates that this field is optional C: boolean; }

To specify that B is required if C is true, you can use an intersection type and a type guard:

type C = { A: string; C: boolean; } & ( { // this type is only valid if C is true B: string; } ); function isCWithB(c: C): c is C { return c.C && c.B !== undefined; }

Then, you can use the isCWithB function as a type guard to narrow the type of the C object and access the B field safely:

const c: C = { A: 'foo', C: true, B: 'bar' }; if (isCWithB(c)) { // here, the type of c is narrowed to {A: string; C: boolean; B: string} console.log(c.B); // outputs 'bar' }

Keep in mind that this solution only works if the B field is optional in the C type, otherwise TypeScript will raise an error when you try to use the B field in the type guard.
