error TS2322: Type 'null' is not assignable to type 'UserAuth'-CodePudding

I create a UserAuth interface:

user-auth.module.ts

export interface UserAuth {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  created_at?: string;
  updated_at?: string;
}

, I declare an authUser object of this interface in chat.component.ts:

authUser = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('user') || '{}').value.authUser;

I receive this authUser object in list.component.ts :

@Input() authUser !: UserAuth;

I want to declare an object of this UserAuth interface list.component.ts:

changeToGroupChat() {
    const user : UserAuth = null; 
    this.selectedAuthUser.emit(user);
  }

but it gives me error:

error TS2322: Type 'null' is not assignable to type 'UserAuth'

CodePudding user response：

Try to use union type of typescript:

const user : UserAuth | null = null;
