Type ‘any view’ cannot conform to ‘view’

by

Explanation:

An error message stating ‘Type ‘any’ cannot conform to ‘view” means that the compiler encountered a mismatch of types. The variable or expression of type ‘any’ cannot be assigned or used in place of a variable or expression of type ‘view’.

To understand this better, let’s consider an example:


  type MyView = {
    name: string;
    age: number;
  };

  function printView(view: MyView) {
    console.log(view.name, view.age);
  }

  let anyView: any = {
    name: "John",
    age: 25
  };

  printView(anyView); // Error: Type 'any' cannot conform to 'MyView'

In the above example, we have a type called ‘MyView’ representing an object with properties ‘name’ of type string and ‘age’ of type number. We have a function called ‘printView’ which accepts an argument of type ‘MyView’ and logs the name and age.

Now, let’s say we have a variable ‘anyView’ which is assigned an object with the same properties as ‘MyView’. However, the type of ‘anyView’ is explicitly set as ‘any’ which means it can be any type.

When we try to pass ‘anyView’ to the ‘printView’ function, it results in a type error because ‘any’ does not conform to ‘MyView’. The compiler wants the argument to be explicitly of type ‘MyView’ and not a more generic type like ‘any’.
