creating a type for custom object in typescript

I have an object that can be

var myObj = {
  "val1": { id: 1 }
  "val2": { id: 3}
}

So, I created type as:

type MyType = { id: number }

And then created another type for myObj as:

type CustomType = {
  [key: string] : MyType
}

var myObj: CustomType = {
  "val1": { id: 1 }
  "val2": { id: 3}
}

But this does not work and gives error.

That is because you try to use the same object myObj. You may need to define new object with different name like this:

var myObj = {
  "val1": { id: 1 },
  "val2": { id: 3}
}

type MyType = { id: number }


type CustomType = {
  [key: string] : MyType
}

var myObj1: CustomType = {
  "val1": { id: 1 },
  "val2": { id: 3}
}

You probably defined myObj variable twice.

Also, you forget to put a comma after { id: 1 }.

This should work


type MyType = { id: number }

type CustomType = {
  [key: string]: MyType
}

var myObj: CustomType = {
  "val1": { id: 1 },
  "val2": { id: 3 }
}
