How to describe something callable with properties in TypeScript? And how to call the below function-CodePudding

type DescribableFunction = {
  description: string;
  (someArg: number): boolean;
};
function doSomething(fn: DescribableFunction) {
  console.log(fn.description   " returned "   fn(6));
}
console.log(doSomething({description="how are you", (9)=>return true;})) //error

I'm trying to call the above function with some arguments but I'm getting error as below

"This expression is not callable. Type '{ description: string; }' has no call signatures.(2349) (property) description: any"

How do I call this function?

CodePudding user response：

You need to give your function field a name so you can refer to it later. Also you have some syntax error while passing the object as parameter:

type DescribableFunction = {
  description: string;
  call: (someArg: number) => boolean;
};
function doSomething(fn: DescribableFunction) {
  console.log(fn.description   " returned "   fn.call(6));
}
console.log(doSomething({description: "how are you", call: (x: number) => true }))
