"solution": catch (err: any)
Announcing T TypeScript 4.4 |ypeScript
In JavaScript, any type of value can be thrown with throw and caught in a catch clause. Because of this, TypeScript historically typed catch clause variables as any, and would not allow any other type annotation:
That’s why TypeScript 4.4 introduces a new flag called --useUnknownInCatchVariables. This flag changes the default type of catch clause variables from any to unknown.
try {
executeSomeThirdPartyCode();
}
catch (err) { // err: unknown (default type, used to be "any")
// Error! Property 'message' does not exist on type 'unknown'.
console.error(err.message);
// Works! We can narrow 'err' from 'unknown' to 'Error'.
if (err instanceof Error) {
console.error(err.message);
}
}
