Typescript 不想通过排除传播 object 类型

Question

I'm having issues spreading an externally imported type that's an object by way of Exclude . To demonstrate:

const f = (): object => ({});
const v = {...f()}; // valid -> OK

const f = (): object | string => ({});
const v = {...f()}; // invalid -> OK

const f = (): Exclude<object | string, "string"> => ({});
const v = {...f()}; // invalid -> PROBLEM

In the last snippet I would expect the Exclude to make the type valid. Is this me thinking about it wrongly, or is there another way of fixing this? (the type exemplified by object is an external import I can't change).

Answer 1

You made a typo in the exclude : You want to exclude the type string not the type "string" (which is a string that can only have the value "string" )

const f = (): Exclude<object | string, string> => ({});
const v = { ...f2() }; // ok
