TS7017

error TS7017: Element implicitly has an ‘any‘ type because type ‘{}‘ has no index signature.

Broken Code ❌

1

const recipients = {};

Fixed Code ✔️

You have to define the type for indexing your object properties (object["index"]):

1

const recipients: {[index: string]: number} = {};

The name of the index can be freely chosen:

1

const recipients: {[myKey: string]: number} = {};

How to fix such errors in interfaces:

3

interface Recipients {
  [index: string]: number;
}

Alternative, but not recommend:

• Set “noImplicitAny” to false in your “tsconfig.json”

error TS7017: Element implicitly has an ‘any‘ type because type ‘typeof globalThis‘ has no index signature.

Broken Code ❌

global.client = new APIClient(APIClient.URL_DEMO, 'global-demo-api-key');

Fixed Code ✔️

declare global {
  var client: APIClient;
}

global.client = new APIClient(APIClient.URL_DEMO, 'global-demo-api-key');
