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