Understanding the error “Property does not exist on type ‘never'” c This error can be frustrating and confusing, but it is relatively easy to solve once we understand the cause. Causes of the error “Property does not exist on type ‘never'” One common cause of the error is when we try to access a property on a null or undefined value. For example, consider the following code: type Employee = { salary: number;};let employee: Employee | null = null;function setEmployee() { employee = { salary: 100 };}setEmployee();// employee.salary is equal to 100 here// but TypeScript doesn't knowif (employee == null) { console.log('employee is nullish');} else { // Error: Property 'salary' does not // exist on type 'never'.ts(2339) console.log(employee.salary);} Another cause of the error is declaring an empty array without assigning a type to it. const obj = { years: [],};// never[]console.log(obj.years); Solutions Property does not exist on type ‘never’: To ...

The error “Object is possibly ‘null'” occurs when we try to access a property on an object that may have a value of null. This error can occur when working with TypeScript, especially when trying to access properties of an object that could be null or undefined. In this blog post, we will go over several solutions to this error, including using the optional chaining operator, type guards, non-null assertions, and the logical AND operator. Using the optional chaining operator One solution to the “Object is possibly ‘null'” error is to use the optional chaining operator. The optional chaining operator (?.) is a way to access a nested property of an object, but instead of causing an error if the reference is nullish (null or undefined), it short-circuits returning undefined. Here is an example of how the error occurs: type Employee = { address: { country: string; city: string; } | null;};const emp: Employee = { address: null,};console.log(emp.address.country); The address...

When working with TypeScript, you may encounter the error “Parameter ‘X’ implicitly has an ‘any’ type” when a function’s parameter has an implicit type of any. This error can be caused by a lack of explicit type annotations on function parameters, arrow functions, callbacks, etc. In this blog post, we’ll explore several ways to fix this error and make your TypeScript code more robust. Understanding the Implicit “any” Type The implicit “any” type in TypeScript occurs when the type of a value can’t be inferred and no type annotations are present. When this happens, TypeScript assigns the type any to that value. This can lead to unexpected runtime errors if the value is used in a way that doesn’t match its inferred type. Explicitly Setting the Type to “any” One way to fix the “Parameter ‘X’ implicitly has an ‘any’ type” error is to explicitly set the type of the parameter to any. Here’s an example of how to do this: function sum(a: any, b: any) { return a + b;}console.log(sum(10, 50)); /...

When working with TypeScript, you may encounter the error “Cannot invoke an object which is possibly ‘undefined'” when trying to invoke a function property that could be undefined, marked as optional. The error occurs because TypeScript wants to ensure that the property could not possibly have an undefined value, as trying to invoke undefined would cause a runtime error. In this article, we will explore several solutions to this error, including using the optional chaining operator (?.) and logical AND (&&) operator. Understanding the Error To better understand the error, let’s take a look at an example: type Employee = { doWork?: () => void;};const employee: Employee = {};// Error: Cannot invoke an object which// is possibly 'undefined'.ts(2722)employee.doWork(); In this example, we have defined an Employee type with an optional doWork function property. We then create an employee object, but do not assign the doWork property a value. When we try to invoke the ...

The error “ No inputs were found in config file ” occurs when we try to build a project that does not contain any TypeScript files. To solve the error, add an empty file with a .ts extension in your project’s root directory and restart your IDE if necessary. tsc# error TS18003: No inputs were found in config file.# Specified 'include' paths were '["**/*"]' and# 'exclude' paths were '["node_modules"]'. Step 1: Make sure your project contains at least one .ts file If your project does not contain any files with a .ts extension, you can create an empty file with a .ts extension to silence the error. Create a file called placeholder.ts with the following contents: export {}; If you have set the include array in your tsconfig.json file, make sure to create the file in the specified directory. For example: { "compilerOptions": { // ... your options }, "include": ["src/**/*"], "exclude": ["...

Are you seeing the error “ Cannot find module ‘react’ or its corresponding type declarations ” when trying to use the React library in a TypeScript project?” This error occurs when the React library and its type definitions are not installed in your project. How to Fix the Error “Cannot find module ‘react’ Error in TypeScript”? To fix this error, open your terminal in the root directory of your project and run the following commands: npm install reactnpm install --save-dev @types/react This will install the React library and its type definitions, allowing you to import it into your code like this: import React from 'react';console.log(React); Additional Troubleshooting Steps for Error “Cannot find module ‘react’ Error in TypeScript” It’s important to note that the error “ Cannot find module ‘react’ or its corresponding type declarations ” can also occur if you have a typo in your ...

If you’ve encountered the error “ tsc: command not found ” while working with TypeScript, there are a few different approaches you can try to resolve it. Here are a few different solutions you can try: Solution 1: Use the npx Command with the –package Flag One quick way to solve the error is to use the ‘npx’ command with the –package flag. This will allow you to run the ‘tsc’ command without having to install the TypeScript package globally. Here’s an example of how you can use the ‘npx’ command to initialize a tsconfig.json file and check the version of the TypeScript package: npx --package typescript tsc --initnpx --package typescript tsc --version Note that we used the –package flag to specify the correct TypeScript package in the commands above. Solution 2: Install TypeScript Globally Alternatively, you can install the TypeScript package globally by running the following command: npm install typescript@lat...

Have you ever encountered the error “ Cannot use import statement outside a module ” when working with TypeScript? If so, you’re not alone. This error can be caused by a variety of issues, but there are a few common solutions that can help resolve it. Setting the module option to commonjs in tsconfig.json One of the most common causes of the “ Cannot use import statement outside a module ” error is an incorrect configuration of the ‘module ‘option in the ‘tsconfig.json’ file. To fix this issue, make sure that the ‘module’ option is set to ‘commonjs’: { "compilerOptions": { "target": "es6", "module": "commonjs", "esModuleInterop": true, // ... your other options }} It’s also a good idea to set the ‘esModuleInterop ‘option to ‘true’, as this can help resolve issues with CommonJS modules being treated differently than ES6 modules. [Fixed] Cannot read property ‘inc...
