typescript - How to define an interface for objects with dynamic keys?

Question

I have an Object like this that is created by underscore's _.groupBy() method.

myObject = {
  "key" : [{Object},{Object2},{Object3}],
  "key2" : [{Object4},{Object5},{Object6}],
  ...
}

How would I define that as an Interface with TypeScript? i don't want to simply define it as myObject:Object = { ... but rather have an own type for it.

Answer 1

Your object looks like a dictionary of Object arrays

interface Dic {
    [key: string]: Object[]
}

The typescript literature often refers to this pattern as "the description of an indexable object" with a general form

interface Dic {
    [key: string|number]: object_type
}

or

type Dic = {
    [key: string|number]: object_type
}
