TypeScript – Types in Destructuring Assignment – Vue and Vuex

0 0

This is very common right now to use TypeScript in JavaScript project.

TypeScript is using static typing so it’s easier to analyse code. Of course some of Front End Developers can say that JavaScript is giving a possibility to omit static typing and it wasn’t created to deliver this kind of functionality however in case when project is getting bigger it’s better to use it.

Vue and Vuex example

I needed to create actions for Vuex.

const actions = {
  async fetchForm({ commit }, payload: string) {
    try {
      const items = payload;

      commit("setItems", payload);
    } catch (e) {
      commit("setItemsError", e);
    }
  },
}

Binding element implicitly has an ‘any’ type.

During compilation of above file and using linter you should see error:

ERROR in /items.ts
 24:21 Binding element 'commit' implicitly has an 'any' type.
 22 | 
 23 | const actions = {
 24 |   async fetchForm({ commit }, payload: string) { 

Basicaly we have an error:

Binding element ‘commit’ implicitly has an ‘any’ type.

or in general:

Binding element implicitly has an ‘any’ type.

FIX for – Binding element implicitly has an ‘any’ type.

What we will need to do is add a type for commit which is assigned to variable from destructuring assignment . To do it we need to use this syntax:

{ variable }: {variable: Type}

In case of more variables:

{ var1, var2, var3 }: {var1: Type, var2: Type, var3: Type}

So lets append this to our function. As we know that commit is a Function we are adding Function type to it:

const actions = {
  async fetchForm({ commit }: {commit: Function}, payload: string) {
    try {
      const items = payload;

      commit("setItems", items);
    } catch (e) {
      commit("setItemsError", e);
    }
  },
