I want to force a function of a specific type, but want to have a default value for some functions.

And I tried with simple code like below

type MyFunc = (str: string) => number;

const myAFunc: MyFunc = (str) => Number(str);
const myBFunc: MyFunc = (str = '9999') => Number(str);

myAFunc('a');
myAFunc(); // wants to occur error
myBFunc('b');
myBFunc(); // wants to NOT occur error

But it's not working.

Is there some way to solve it?

A and B func has different types, don't force them into same type:

type MyAFunc = (str: string) => number;
type MyBFunc = (str?: string) => number;

const myAFunc: MyAFunc = (str) => Number(str);
const myBFunc: MyBFunc = (str = '9999') => Number(str);

myAFunc('a');
myAFunc(); // wants to occur error
myBFunc('b');
myBFunc(); // wants to NOT occur error

If you want to make it optional to pass anything to the function, add a ? for parameter in the type.

type MyFunc = (str?: string) => number;

const myAFunc: MyFunc = (str) => Number(str);
const myBFunc: MyFunc = (str = '9999') => Number(str);

myAFunc(); // NaN
myBFunc(); // 9999
