Here's a snippet in which I instantiate a new content
object in my service:
const newContent = new Content(
result.obj.name
result.obj.user.firstName,
result.obj._id,
result.obj.user._id,
);
The problem is that this way of object instantiation relies on the order of properties in my content
model. I was wondering if there's a way to do it by mapping every property to the value I want to set it to, for example:
const newContent = new Content(
name: result.obj.name,
user: result.obj.user.
content_id: result.obj._id,
user_id: result.obj.user._id,
);
const newContent = <Content>({
name: result.obj.name,
user: result.obj.user.
content_id: result.obj._id,
user_id: result.obj.user._id,
});
Here you can instantiate an object and use type assertion or casting to the Content type. For more information on type assertion: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/everyday-types.html#type-assertions
