Getting the specific type of generic property using a generic key

I currently have a function signature that looks like this:

getProperty<T extends HTMLElement>(name: keyof T): Promise<T[keyof T]>;

While developing Web Components that extend HTMLElement, I have included a property named rows which stores values of type Row[]. If I make a call to this property as shown below (in a test utility):

const rows = componentWrapper.getProperty<TableComponent>('rows');

The resulting type of rows is a union of all potential types from the keys in TableComponent. This aligns with my expectation when using keyof for the name argument.

My goal is to ascertain the type of rows as Row[] by specifying the return type differently than Promise<T[keyof T]>. How can I determine the type of the property being retrieved based on the name argument?

typescript

Answer №1

According to feedback from Artem Bozhko, the following code snippet is effective:

getProperty<T extends HTMLElement, K extends keyof T>(el: T, name: K): Promise<T[K]>

This approach allows you to invoke the function without specifying the generic parameters list since TypeScript will automatically deduce the types for T and K based on the argument list.
