I'm new to Typescript and I have to build an interface for the following props type:

const myProps = [
  {
    name: 'name1',
    on: true,
    children: [
      { name: 'test1', href: '#' },
      { name: 'test2', href: '#' },
      { name: 'test3', href: '#' }
    ]
  },
  {
    name: 'name2',
    on: false,
    children: [
      { name: 'test1', href: '#' },
      { name: 'test2', href: '#' },
      { name: 'test3', href: '#' },
      { name: 'test4', href: '#' },
      { name: 'test5', href: '#' }
    ]
  },
  {
    name: 'name3',
    on: false,
    children: [{ name: 'test1', href: '#' }]
  }
];

I want to create an interface for it to be used in a React Typescript app.

This is the interface so far:

export interface IChildren {
  name: string,
  href: string
}

export interface IMyProps {
  name: string,
  on: boolean,
  children: IChildren,
}

It is not working, it should have some arrays I guess. Any suggestions?

CodePudding user response：

You can try like this,

 export interface CommonProps {
    name: string;
    href: string;
}

export interface MyProps {
    name: string;
    on: boolean;
    children: Array<CommonProps>;
}

Also Note data interfaces should not start with naming conventions "I" Interfaces those have method declarations should have "I" like IMethodService
