readDirSync's type definition should return an IteratorObject

[nicolo-ribaudo]

Version: Deno 2.1.5

I noticed that Deno.readDirSync() returns an ArrayIterator object (I was typing Deno.readDirSync("some-dir") in a jupyter notebook and it logs Object [Array Iterator] {}). I wanted to see the list of folders, to I added .toArray() at the end of it and got a type checking error: .toArray() (and all iterator helpers) are not available on Iterable<...>.

Given that readDirSync does return an iterator, could its type definition be updated?

EDIT: Probably there are many functions on the Deno namespace, both sync and async, that should be updated :)

Deno is not yet TypeScript 5.7, so we will have to wait for that.
#26950

My bad, IteratorObject was introduced in TypeScript 5.6.
