`useJsonBody()` hook incorrectly claims to return `string | undefined` values in TypeScript

Open prabal-rje opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

The useJsonBody() hook for the API client in SST claims to return string | undefined values only, but if the JSON body contains a list of strings, you need to do weird 'type magic' to make it work.

Here's a sample code snippet in TS:

const {
  some_str,
  some_str_list
} = useJsonBody();

Here's TS claiming they must all be string | undefined: image

Here's how I got around the problem:

const str_list = some_str_list as unknown as string[]

EDIT: I am a JS/TS n00b so I apologize if the bug report is nonsense.
