Currently, I am facing issues while converting a Material UI Dashboard from React to Typescript. The problem arises during TypeScript compilation where the property in question meets the criteria mentioned in the error message. To put it briefly, the compilation of this linksStyle.jsx file is causing the trouble.
const linksStyle = theme => ({
searchButton: {
top: "-50px !important",
marginRight: "22px",
float: "right"
}
});
export default linksStyle;
The error reported is as follows:
TypeScript error in C:/Dev/github/mui-dashboard/src/components/Navbars/AdminNavbarLinks.tsx(269,27):

It seems that TypeScript expects the float property to have specific values, which it does contain. Removal of the problematic float: "right" line allows the code to compile successfully.
withStyles functions as a Material UI wrapper, version v4.2 in my case: you can view the type definitions here.
I would appreciate any guidance on how to proceed. The original linksStyle was more intricate and had similar issues, but I've minimized it to isolate the problem area.
