Description
TypeScript Version: 2.7.2
Search Terms: String.replace overload union parameter
Code
type ReplacerFn = () => string;
type Replacer = string | ReplacerFn;
function replaceFoo(str: string, replacer: Replacer) {
return str.replace(new RegExp("foo"), replacer);
}
Expected behavior: Compiles successfully.
Perhaps the change is as simple as combining the two overloads into a union, though the implications of that change are possibly unpleasant as far as tooling is concerned.
Actual behavior:
bad.ts(5,43): error TS2345: Argument of type 'Replacer' is not assignable to parameter of type '(substring: string, ...args: any[]) => string'. Type 'string' is not assignable to type '(substring: string, ...args: any[]) => string'.
