Typesafe react decorator not recognizing the ReturnType of the passed function
I'm trying to extend the redux connect so it can be used with particular reducer/state as a decorator, it's probably not necessary because redux connect can be used as a decorator, but I am curious why I can't make it work the way I want.
This is the HOC that I am using as a decorator:
interface InjectedProps { userId: string; }
type ComponentType<P> = React.ComponentClass<P> | React.StatelessComponent<P>;
type StateToProps = (setting: ApplicationState) => InjectedProps;
export function withUserSetting(
stateToProps?: StateToProps
): <P extends InjectedProps>(WrappedComponent: ComponentType<P>) => void {
return <P extends InjectedProps>(Comp: ComponentType<P>) => {
class NewComponent extends (Component || PureComponent)<P> {
render() {
return <Comp {...this.props} />;
}
}
return connect(stateToProps)(NewComponent as any);
};
}
It works fine and it will alert me if the Props is missing, that's because it expecting return type of 'InjectedProps':

however, I would like to modify hoc so it can alert me based on the return type of the 'stateToProps':
type AnyFunction = (...args: any) => any;
type ComponentType<P> = React.ComponentClass<P> | React.StatelessComponent<P>;
type StateToProps = (setting: ApplicationState) => { [key: string]: any };
export function withUserSetting<T extends AnyFunction>(
stateToProps?: StateToProps
): <P extends ReturnType<T>>(WrappedComponent: ComponentType<P>) => void {
return <P extends ReturnType<T>>(Comp: ComponentType<P>) => {
class NewComponent extends (Component || PureComponent)<P> {
render() {
return <Comp {...this.props} />;
}
}
return connect(stateToProps)(NewComponent as any);
};
}
as you can see the 'InjectedProps' is not required anymore so it can have any prop name, and I am assuming because of the 'ReturnType' decorator should recognize props automatically and alert me if it's not declared for the component, but it doesn't have any effect:

decorator works fine, however, I don't have a type safety I am looking for!
any idea why it's not working?

After simplifying the code, and understand it better, I have managed to make it work, this is the working version:
type ComponentType<P> = React.ComponentClass<P> | React.StatelessComponent<P>;
type MapStateToProps<T> = (setting: ApplicationState) => T;
export function withUserSetting<T>(mapStateToProps?: MapStateToProps<T>):
<P extends T>(WrappedComponent: ComponentType<P>) => void {
return <P extends T>(WrappedComponent: ComponentType<P>) => {
return connect(mapStateToProps)(WrappedComponent as any);
};
}
Now it can be used like this:
@withUserSetting((state) => ({ userId: state.userSetting.userId }))
Or like this:
@withUserSetting<UserProps>((state) => ({ userId: state.userSetting.userId }))
In both ways, it will raise an error if a property is missing in the declaration.
