In typescript, I can declare a generic function like so:
const fn: <T>(arg: T)=>Partial<T>
In this case, TypeScript can sometimes infer the type parameter of the function based on the actual parameters I pass it. Is there a similar way to define a generic object literal whose type parameter can be dynamically inferred based on its contents? Something like:
interface XYZ {
obj: <T>{ arr: T[], dict: Partial<T> }
}
I am aware I can make the entire interface generic like so:
interface XYZ<T> {
arr: T[],
dict: Partial<T>
}
but I want to avoid that, because then I would have to declare the generic type in advance whenever I am using the interface. For example
const x: XYZ
will not work. If I want to make the declaration general, I am forced to write:
const x: XYZ<any>
but this does not allow TypeScript to dynamically infer the specific generic type based on the actual contents of x
