I am a little bit lost how to do the following.
I am trying to change the definitions of some third party types by creating a new file thirdParty.d.ts.
Let's suppose the third party returns Class A
class A {
// ...
}
In my third-party.d.ts file, I want to introduce two new parameters.
import * as thirdParty from 'thirdParty'
decalre module 'thirdParty' {
export interface A extends thirdParty.A {
newParam1: number
newParam2: number
}
}
Then, let's overwrite class A by adding newParam1 and newParam2
class ExtendedA extends A {
newParam1 = 1
newParam2 = 2
}
So now everything looks good. Every instance of class A recognizes the new parameters. In any function or class it's possible to call newParam1 without casting.
randomMethod() {
console.log(this.a.newParam1) // Returns 1. No need to cast (this.a as ExtendedA).newParam1 !
}
However, since I changed the definition of class A. And ExtendedA extends it. Deleting the new parameters will not generate errors. Which worries me. I am looking for a way to force ExtendedA to decalre the new parameters.
// This is bad :(
class ExtendedA extends A { // implements Interface will not work either
// newParam1 = 1 // Commented but there is no errors ! Which is bad
// newParam2 = 2
}
I am sure the fix is pretty easy but I am really lost.
