+Yup is a JavaScript schema builder for value parsing and validation. Define a schema, transform a value to match, assert the shape of an existing value, or both. Yup schema are extremely expressive and allow modeling complex, interdependent validations, or value transformations.
 
 Yup's API is heavily inspired by [Joi](https://github.com/hapijs/joi), but leaner and built with client-side validation as its primary use-case. Yup separates the parsing and validating functions into separate steps. `cast()` transforms data while `validate` checks that the input is the correct shape. Each can be performed together (such as HTML form validation) or seperately (such as deserializing trusted data from APIs).

+Creates a object schema, by applying all settings and fields from `schemaB` to the base, producing a new schema.

 Create a new schema from a subset of the original's fields.

 ## TypeScript Support
 
-`yup` comes with robust typescript support! However, because of how dynamic `yup` is
-not everything can be statically typed safely, but for most cases it's "Good Enough".
-
-Note that `yup` schema actually produce _two_ different types: the result of casting an input, and the value after validation.
-Why are these types different? Because a schema can produce a value via casting that
-would not pass validation!
-
-```js
-const schema = string().nullable().required();
-
-schema.cast(null); // -> null
-schema.validateSync(null); // ValidationError this is required!
-```
-
-By itself this seems weird, but has it's uses when handling user input. To get a
-TypeScript type that matches all possible `cast()` values, use `yup.TypeOf<typeof schema>`.
-To produce a type that matches a valid object for the schema use `yup.Asserts<typeof schema>>`
