Typescript Errors How do I ignore the error property does not exist on value of type

Question

In VS2013 building stops when tsc exits with code 1. This was not the case in VS2012.

How do I handle the tsc.exe error?

I get many `The property 'x' does not exist on value of type 'y'` errors, which I want to ignore when using JS functions.

Answer 1

The easiest solution to this is:

(y as any).x

This cast is explicit so it will compile even with noImplicitAny flag set.

Answer 2

to ignore it globally, in your tsconfig.json, do this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "useUnknownInCatchVariables": false
  }
}
