Is there any way to adapt an interface to Object properties?-CodePudding

I'm having the following interfaces:

 export interface ObjectX {
   key: string,
   title: string,
   data: Record<string, unknown>;
}

export interface ObjectY {
     name: string,
     security: number,
     integrity: number,
}

And then the objects:

 const objectX: ObjectX = {
       key: 'generic_data',
       title: 'Generic Data',
       data: {
         name: 'Generic Data',
         security: 50,
         integrity: 10,
       },
    }

let objectY: ObjectY = {
   name: 'Specific Data',
   security: 10,
   integrity: 25,
}

Now, if I want to set the ObjectY with ObjectX data, I've to do the following:

objectY = objectX.data as any

Note: not always objectX.data === ObjectY Interface, I want to set like a dynamic type that adapts to current object properties.

I'd like to achieve this as long as objectY and ObjectX.data have the same properties:

objectY = objectX.data

Is it possible just with an interface?? Thank you very much in advantage

CodePudding user response：

You can make ObjectX a generic type

export interface ObjectX<TData> {
   key: string,
   title: string,
   data: TData;
}

This way you can use it with any type:

export interface ObjectY {
     name: string,
     security: number,
     integrity: number,
}

let myXObject: ObjectX<ObjectY>;
let myYObject: ObjectY = myXObject.data;
