Is there a way I can copy to clipboard the full path of an inferred type?
Example:
class App { listen(){ const server = expressApp.listen()}}
I want to make server a member and not a local, but I don't know the type. Is there 1 click to get type?
I think C# has this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/convert-var-to-explicit-type?view=vs-2019
EDIT:
To get the types of a function return you can use the ReturnType type constructor. Combine that with type indexing using bracket notation and you can find the return type of an interface member like so:
type Server = ReturnType<Express['listen']>;
The Node standard module http exposes a type called Server. Since Express uses this type for its server listeners, you can use it to type the listener on your member like so:
import type { Express } from "express";
import type { Server } from "http";
class App {
constructor(app: Express) {
this.listener = app.listen();
}
private listener: Server;
}
If you want to use a custom listen() function with an uninitialized server variable as you're doing in your above code snippet, you just need to make the property optional:
class App {
private server?: Server;
listen(expressApp: Express) {
this.server = expressApp.listen()
}
}
