Attempting to transition an existing angular application to typescript (version 1.5.3):
Shown below is the code snippet:
'use strict';
angular.module('x')
.directive('tabsPane', TabsPane)
function TabsPane(itemTabs) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
compile: compileTabs
};
function compileTabs(tElement) {
var template = createTabsTemplate(); //function which i don't include here for brevity
tElement.append(template);
}}
Upon compiling the javascript, the following error is encountered:
error TS2345: Argument of type '(itemTabs: any) => { restrict: string; compile: (tElement: any) => void; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'any[]'. Property 'push' is missing in type '(itemTabs: any) => { restrict: string; compile: (tElement: any) => void; }'.
An attempt was made to understand the reason behind this issue by referring to the typescript definition of angular:
It seems that typescript is assuming this definition
directive(name: string, inlineAnnotatedFunction: any[]): IModule;
However, a more suitable definition would be:
directive(name: string, directiveFactory: IDirectiveFactory): IModule;
Having limited experience with typescript, it's believed that there may be a mistake made somewhere, but relevant information could not be found through online sources.
