Typescript can i use generic type in function body
i have function declaration like this:
export const filterOptions: <OptionValueType>(options: OptionsArray<OptionValueType>, filterBy: string) => OptionsArray<OptionValueType> = (options, filterBy) => {
if (filterBy === '') {
return [...options];
} else {
const filteredOptions: OptionsArray<OptionValueType> = ;
// filter and return options
return [...filteredOptions];
}
};
but, typescript mark this code as Error, can we use generic types in function body ?
const filteredOptions: OptionsArray<OptionValueType> = ;
TS2304: Cannot find name 'OptionValueType'
typescript

You can use the generic type parameter in the body, but the generic type parameter has to be on the function implementation not on the variable that will hold the function
export const filterOptions = <OptionValueType>(options: OptionsArray<OptionValueType>, filterBy: string) : OptionsArray<OptionValueType> => {
if (filterBy === '') {
return [...options];
} else {
const filteredOptions: OptionsArray<OptionValueType> = ;
// filter and return options
return [...filteredOptions];
}
};
