Union type of two different useState setter functions gives error

I have two different components that have one prop in common in their states, in this minimum example it will be the pictures prop which is an array of strings:

Apartment.ts

type ApartmentType = {
    landlord: string;
    pictures: string[];
}

function Apartment () {
    const [ apartmentData, setApartmentData ] = useState<ApartmentType>({
        landlord: 'juan',
        pictures: [ 'url1', 'url2' ]
    })

    return (
        <h1>Apartment</h1>
        <FileUploader setFunction={setApartmentData} />
    )
}

House.ts

type HouseType = {
    owner: string;
    pictures: string[];
}

function House () {
    const [ houseData, setHouseData ] = useState<HouseType>({
        owner: 'Jhon',
        pictures: [ 'url1', 'url2' ]
    })

    return (
        <h1>House</h1>
        <FileUploader setFunction={setHouseData} />
    )
}

As you can see I’m adding a FileUploader component which will update the pictures array of its parent using the set function that comes with the useState hook:

type FileUploaderProps = {
    setFunction: React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<HouseType> | React.SetStateAction<ApartmentType>>
}

function FileUploader ({ setFunction }: FileUploaderProps) {
    function updatePictures () {
        setFunction((prevValue: any) => ({ ...prevValue, pictures: [ ...prevValue.pictures, 'newUrl1', 'newUrl2'] }))
    }

    return (
        <div>
            <h1>File Uploader</h1>
            <button type='button' onClick={updatePictures}></button>
        </div>
    )
}

But here is where the issue appears, in Apartment and House for the setFunction prop in FileUploader TS is giving me this error:

Type 'Dispatch<SetStateAction<HouseType>>' is not assignable to type 'Dispatch<SetStateAction<ApartmentType> | SetStateAction<HouseType>>'.
  Type 'SetStateAction<ApartmentType> | SetStateAction<HouseType>' is not assignable to type 'SetStateAction<HouseType>'.
    Type 'ApartmentType' is not assignable to type 'SetStateAction<HouseType>'.
      Property 'owner' is missing in type 'ApartmentType' but required in type 'HouseType'

What I’m doing wrong?, I though that typing the setFunction prop in FileUploader as:

React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<HouseType> | React.SetStateAction<ApartmentType>>

would be sufficient to account for the two possibilities but it is not.

Here is a link for a playground

>Solution :

You are making some confusion with the template types and Union type in "wrong" place (React.SetStateAction<Apartment> and React.SetStateAction<House>). It would be best if you made the function a Union type such as:

type FileUploaderProps = {
    setFunction: React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<House>> | React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<Apartment>>
}
