I'm currently in the process of incorporating Typescript definitions into an existing codebase that utilizes the Knockout library. Within the code, there is a prevalent pattern that appears as follows:
interface SomeProperties {
// Assorted properties
}
class ViewModel {
// Specific properties...
constructor(data: SomeProperties) {
AddAllPropertiesToThis(data);
}
}
The function AddAllPropertiesToThis essentially takes the data object and dynamically appends all its properties to this.
I am struggling to identify how to convey this pattern accurately in Typescript. It seems logical to state something along the lines of
class ViewModel implements SomeProperties
however, this necessitates manually transcribing all the properties from the interface definition to the class.
Is there any alternative method to achieve the desired outcome here without the need to repetitively list out properties?
