javascript - TypeScript - ts(7053) : Element implicitly has an 'any' type because expression of type 'string' can't be used to index

In TypeScript, I declare an interface like this:

export default interface MyDTO {
    readonly num: string;
    readonly entitle: string;
    readonly trb: string;
    readonly ucr: string;
    readonly dcr: string;
    readonly udm?: string;
    readonly ddm?: string;
}

With a function, I would like to access the value of a property, whose name is contained in a variable.

private doSomething(dto: MyDTO, property: string): any {
    let label: any;

    if (['dcr', 'ddm'].includes(property)) {
        label = doSomethingElse(dto[property]);
    } else {
        label = dto[property];
    }
    
    return label;
}

Unfortunately, TypeScript gives me the following error message :

Element implicitly has an 'any' type because expression of type 'string' can't be used to index type 'MyDTO'. No index signature with a parameter of type 'string' was found on type 'MyDTO'.ts(7053)

Anyone have an idea, please ?

Thank you

The reason for this is because MyDTO has explicitly named properties, but you're using a generic string as an index, so TypeScript is saying that it can't guarantee that whatever string is passed into your doSomething function will actually match a property name on your interface.

An excellent workaround for this that was introduced in TypeScript 2.1 is keyof. This allows you to explicitly type something as a key of a certain class/interface.

This will A. get rid of the TS error you're seeing, and B. also check to make sure that any callers of your function actually pass a valid key.

export default interface MyDTO {
    readonly num: string;
    readonly entitle: string;
    readonly trb: string;
    readonly ucr: string;
    readonly dcr: string;
    readonly udm?: string;
    readonly ddm?: string;
}

function doSomething(dto: MyDTO, property: keyof MyDTO): any {
    let label: any;

    if (['dcr', 'ddm'].includes(property)) {
        label = doSomethingElse(dto[property]);
    } else {
        label = dto[property];
    }
    
    return label;
}

doSomething(obj, "foo") // is a TS error
doSomething(obj, "num") // is valid
