dynamically get all Maya types

run this in maya to get a list of all node types

from maya import cmds
node_types = cmds.ls(nt=True)  # 'AISEnvFacade', 'AlembicNode', ...

print each one on a new line

from typing import NewType  
for name in node_types: print(f"{name} = NewType('{name}', str)")

copy the printed code in your script, e.g. datafix Maya

AISEnvFacade = NewType('AISEnvFacade', str)  
AlembicNode = NewType('AlembicNode', str)  
...

How to use these types¶

from datafix_maya.types import Mesh  
Mesh('pCube1')  # this will create a Mesh type object with the data 'pCube1'

now we can check if the string is a mesh-name, or just a string
