I have a function that takes as argument
event: MouseEvent
than in my code if I do
event.srcElement.innerText;
intelisense tells me
[ts] Property 'innerText' does not exist on type 'Element'.
although the property does exist.
How can I add property innerText
to MouseEvent
withthout creating a new class that extends MouseEvent
?

Cast it to HTMLElement
:
(event.srcElement as HTMLElement).innerText;
Or modify your function declaration to specify that srcElement
is HTMLElement
:
function test(event: MouseEvent & {
srcElement: HTMLElement
}) {
event.srcElement.innerText;
}
The parameter event
is an intersection type now.
