In order to achieve my goal, I need to extend a library class that is part of the React components I am creating. Here's an example of the original library class I'm working with:
class ReactComponent<T, U> {
render() { return "some html"; }
}
My objective is to enhance certain React components with a custom interface, such as the Page interface which includes properties like title and shouldRenderInAppLayout.
interface Page {
title: string;
shouldRenderInAppLayout: boolean;
}
Below is how I envision my Page Components being structured:
class Homepage extends ReactComponent<any, any> implements Page {
title: "Welcome";
shouldRenderInAppLayout: true;
render() { return "some other html"; }
}
Ultimately, I aim to create a function that can handle objects that are both React components and Pages:
function customRender(component: typeof ReactComponent & Page) {
if (component.shouldRenderInAppLayout) {
// layout code
}
// code to render component here
}
customRender(Homepage);
However, this results in an error message stating:
Argument of type 'typeof Homepage' is not assignable to parameter of type 'typeof ReactComponent & Page'. Type 'typeof Homepage' is not assignable to type 'Page'. Property 'title' is missing in type 'typeof Homepage'.
For a working example of the code above, check out this link:
I am seeking advice on how to accurately define the type of customRender.
