I have an object called externalObject that has various key:value pairs.
I also have a typescript interface that is defined as the following:
interface TestObject{
externalObject?: {}
}
My question is how do I further set the type for the externalObject's key as string and the values that are passed inside externalObject as string or number?
Note: we do not always know the key:value pairs. They vary each time.
You can set any number of key/types on an interface in a similar way to assigning an object. If you don't know the property names ahead of time, you can use a dynamic key:
export interface ITestObject {
externalObject: {
[key: string]: string | number;
};
}
Alternatively, you can set the property as unknown and cast it to the proper type.
