I am currently delving into the world of typescript
. After exploring various sources like this one and that one, as well as trying out multiple solutions, I have encountered a challenge. I have a variable named incomingArticleObject
which needs to be of type Object
and contain a property called content
of type String
. Here is my current implementation:
export class OptionsPanelComponent implements OnInit {
incomingArticleObject : Object = {
content: String };
constructor(...) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.incomingArticleObject = this._articleService.getClickedArticle();
document.querySelector('#mydiv').innerHTML=this.incomingArticleObject.content; <=== ERROR
}
}
However, there is an error that arises specifically in the ngOnInit
method:
Property 'content' does not exist on type 'Object'.
I attempted to resolve this issue by creating an interface
and assigning the value accordingly as shown below:
import { ... } from '@angular/core';
import ...
export interface MyObject {}
@Component({
...
})
export class OptionsPanelComponent implements OnInit {
incomingArticleObject : MyObject = {
content: String };
constructor(...) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.incomingArticleObject = this._articleService.getClickedArticle();
document.querySelector('#data-container').innerHTML=this.incomingArticleObject.content;
}
}
Despite these efforts, the persistent error message continues to display with numerous sections of code underlined in red within vs code
. Any guidance on how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated.
