I'm currently diving into TypeScript and encountering some challenges when trying to incorporate new methods into the DOM or other pre-existing objects. For instance, I'm attempting to implement a method that can be utilized to display colored text in console logs. Nonetheless, my attempts are resulting in a couple of TypeScript-related issues.
Object.defineProperties(console, {
redLog: function(msg: string) { console.log(`%c${msg}`, 'color:red'); //TS error: Type '(msg: string) => void' has no properties in common with type 'PropertyDescriptor'.
},
});
console.redLog("This should print red") //TS error: Property 'redLog' does not exist on type 'Console'.
Do you have any insights into what mistake I might be making? I am uncertain about how to utilize interfaces or any other TypeScript approach that would enable me to add the console.redLog() method. Appreciate any guidance on this! Thanks!
