How can I create an object type with a string name?-CodePudding

I have the following array

const roads = [
    "Alice's House-Bob's House",
    "Alice's House-Cabin",
    "Alice's House-Post Office",
    ...
];

And I want to define a type Graph that is an object and has name:value

In this case each string in the roads array is a direction where the string until '-' is the from and from there to the end the to. So I want the type to be an object of a name string and a value of an array of strings.

Something like this:

{
  "Alice's House": [ "Bob's House", 'Cabin', 'Post Office' ],
  ...
}

Any ideas?

CodePudding user response：

You have at least 2 options to do this:

Use index type

type Address {
 [key: string]: string[]
}

Use Record utility type

type Address = Record<string, string[]>
