Before You File a Proposal Please Confirm You Have Done The Following...

• I have searched for related issues and found none that match my proposal.
• I have searched the current rule list and found no rules that match my proposal.
• I have read the FAQ and my problem is not listed.

My proposal is suitable for this project

• I believe my proposal would be useful to the broader TypeScript community (meaning it is not a niche proposal).

Link to the rule's documentation

https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/consistent-type-assertions

Description

https://github.com/danielnixon/eslint-plugin-total-functions#total-functionsno-unsafe-type-assertion has some useful options:

• this rule is weaker than consistent-type-assertions with its assertionStyle option set to never -- this rule will permit type assertions that it considers safe as opposed to blanket banning all type assertions, and
• this rule is stronger than consistent-type-assertions with its objectLiteralTypeAssertions option set to never

Can we add these options to @typescript-eslint/consistent-type-assertions?

Fail

type Foo = { readonly bar: number };
const foo = {};
const foo2 = foo as Foo;
foo2.bar.toString();

Pass

type Foo = { readonly bar: number };
const foo = {};
const foo2 = foo as Partial<Foo>;
foo2.bar?.toString();
