Recently, I have started learning Typescript and am currently working on a project where I am building a REST API. In this project, I have defined a specific model for my request payload.
However, even after typecasting, the type of 'resObj' remains as an object when I want it to be of type 'requestObj'.
export const funcName = async function (req: Express.Request, res: Express.Response) {
console.log(typeof req.body) // object
const resObj : requestObj = req.body as requestObj
console.log(typeof resObj) // object. but it should be requestObj
export interface requestObj {
to: string ,
name: string,
phoneNo : string,
}
This is causing issues with data validation. Despite searching extensively, a viable solution still eludes me.
