How would I appropriately type variables in useState?
Below, basically alert needs to be "success" | "warning" | "error" | "info"
const [alertValue, setAlertValue] = useState("error");
<TextField
label="Error State"
message="this is an ERROR message"
alert={alertValue} // error: Type 'string' is not assignable to type "success" | "warning" | "error" | "info";
onChange={handleChange}
/>
>Solution :
The useState hook is a generic function. You can supply the type when you call it. For example:
type AlertStatus = "success" | "warning" | "error" | "info"
const [alertValue, setAlertValue] = useState<AlertStatus>("error");
You should use the same property type defined for the alert property of the TextField component.
