I want to overwrite npm library typing to add index signature to a function. Let's say the function does nothing spectacular:
export function foo(input) {
return Number(input);
}
It has a typing in .d.ts
file:
export default function foo(input: string): number | null;
I want to add properties to this function, like:
foo['something'] = 2;
How to change .d.ts
file so it will allow me to do this with any property not only something
?
It should have index signature of [index: string]: number;
. I have found answers how to do it, but only for a single or few known properties, but I need to put any string as a key.
I found the answer myself by merging function with object (typed with index signature) using Object.assign
on TSPlayground and it can generate .d.ts
for me:
declare const foo: ((input: string) => number | null) & {
[key: string]: number;
};
export default parse;
