打字稿中重写XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open失败

Question

I want to override XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open in Typescript but that's failing for me, is there a workaround ?

(function(open) {
  XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open = (method, url, async, user, pass) => {
    url = new URL(url);
    if (window["_keycloak"] && window["_keycloak"].token)
      url.searchParams.set('token', window["_keycloak"].token);
    open.call(this, method, url, async, user, pass);
  };
})(XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open);

This is the error message I'm getting

[ts] Type '(method: any, url: any, async: any, user: any, pass: any) => void' is not assignable to type '{ (method: string, url: string): void; (method: string, url: string, async: boolean, username?: string, password?: string): void; }'.

Answer 1

thanks to @Matt suggestion I came to find the solution. Actually if you look at the XMLHttpRequest interface you fund two implementations for the open method

open(method: string, url: string): void;
open(method: string, url: string, async: boolean, username?: string | null, password?: string | null): void;

so the solution was to override the first one by adding optional parameters. this is the final solution:

(function(open) {
  XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open = (method: string, url: any , async?: boolean, username?: string, password?: string) => {
    url = new URL(url);
    if (window["_keycloak"] && window["_keycloak"].token)
    url.searchParams.set('token', window["_keycloak"].token);
    open.call(this, method, url, async, username, password);
  };
})(XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open);

Making async, username and password optionals solved it.

If you look at the error message, the username and password parameters to the original XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open are optional ( ? mark), but in your implementation, they are required, so your implementation is not type-compatible with callers that omit those arguments. Just mark your user and pass parameters optional.
