Update:
As of @types/express@4.17.2
, the Request
type uses generics.
https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/express/index.d.ts#L107
interface Request<P extends core.Params = core.ParamsDictionary, ResBody = any, ReqBody = any, ReqQuery = core.Query> extends core.Request<P, ResBody, ReqBody, ReqQuery> { }
You could set the type of req.body
to PersoneModel
like this:
import { Request, Response } from 'express';
router.post("https://stackoverflow.com/",(req: Request<{}, {}, PersoneModel>, res: Response) => {
// req.body is now PersoneModel
}
For @types/express@4.17.1
and below
Encountered similar problem and I solved it using generics:
import { Request, Response } from 'express';
interface PersoneModel extends mongoose.Document {
nom: String,
prenom: String,
}
interface CustomRequest<T> extends Request {
body: T
}
router.post("https://stackoverflow.com/",(req: CustomRequest<PersoneModel>, res: Response) => {
// req.body is now PersoneModel
}
