What problem are you facing?
We are seeing new typescript compilation errors, most probably related to this PR: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/pull/3259
Here's a stripped down code sample that showcases the error:
import { UpdateFilter } from 'mongodb'; interface MyType { users: string[]; } interface MySimilarType { users: string[]; } const x: MySimilarType = { users: ['bob', 'jane'], }; const update: UpdateFilter<MyType> = { $set: x, };
Here's the compilation error message:
src/sample.ts:15:3 - error TS2322: Type 'MySimilarType' is not assignable to type 'Readonly<{ [x: `users.${number}`]: string | undefined; [x: `users.$[${string}]`]: string | undefined; users?: string[] | undefined; "users.$"?: string | undefined; }>'. Index signature for type '`users.${number}`' is missing in type 'MySimilarType'.15 $set: x, ~~~~ node_modules/mongodb/mongodb.d.ts:6347:5 6347 $set?: MatchKeysAndValues<TSchema>; ~~~~ The expected type comes from property '$set' which is declared here on type 'UpdateFilter<MyType>'
It appears that even if `MyType` and `MySimilarType` have compatible interfaces, the compiler complains that we cannot assign a `MySimilarType` variable to the `$set` attribute of a `UpdateFilter<MyType>`. Weirdly, if I just remove the type assignment for `x`, the compiler is able to infer that it is compatible and the build succeeds:
interface MyType { users: string[]; } const x = { users: ['bob', 'jane'], }; const update: UpdateFilter<MyType> = { $set: x, };
What driver and relevant dependency versions are you using?
We start to see this compilation error from version 4.8.0 of the node.js mongodb driver. I'm using typescript 4.8.2.
