React - TypeScript destructuring of props

Question

I have a function:

 export function getSubjectsForStudent(data: any) : any[]

"data argument" I receive from external source and it's not feasible to define strong type. "return" is derived from "data" so it's of type any as well.

A "Main" component passes "return" to a "child" component like this:

<MainCategories subjects={getSubjectsForStudent(data)} />

And in MainCategories

export default function MainCategories(props: any) {
    const tmp = props.subjects;
    ...

It works and it's Ok.

But I want
export default function MainCategories( {subjects} ) {

Can anybody help with it?

Answer 1

You need to add a type/interface of Props - Then you'll be able to get subjects by destructuring.

interface Props {
  subjects: any
}

export default function MainCategories({ subjects }: Props) {
    const tmp = props.subjects;
    ...
