Why `.filter(Boolean)` Doesn't Narrow Types in TypeScript (and how I built an AST fixer for it)

1. 1Identify the issue with `.filter(Boolean)` not narrowing types in TypeScript
2. 2Understand how the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) works in TypeScript
3. 3Build a custom AST fixer to narrow types after filtering
4. 4Apply the fixer to your TypeScript code to ensure accurate type checking
5. 5Test the fixer with different scenarios to ensure its correctness

This article benefits TypeScript developers and teams working on complex projects, as it provides a solution to a common type narrowing issue

💡 The `.filter(Boolean)` method doesn't narrow types in TypeScript because it returns a new array with the same type as the original array
