Property ‘palette’ does not exist on type ‘theme’

In TypeScript, the error message “property ‘palette’ does not exist on type ‘theme'” is a compilation error that occurs when you try to access a property named ‘palette’ on a variable or object of type ‘theme’, but the compiler cannot find that property in the type definition of ‘theme’.

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

    
      interface Theme {
        primaryColor: string;
        secondaryColor: string;
      }
      
      const myTheme: Theme = {
        primaryColor: 'blue',
        secondaryColor: 'green'
      };
      
      console.log(myTheme.palette);
    
  

In the above example, we have an interface named ‘Theme’ with two properties: ‘primaryColor’ and ‘secondaryColor’. We declare a variable ‘myTheme’ of type ‘Theme’ and assign it an object with values for the two properties.

Now, when we try to access the ‘palette’ property on ‘myTheme’ using ‘myTheme.palette’, the TypeScript compiler throws an error because the ‘palette’ property does not exist in the ‘Theme’ interface. This is what the error message “property ‘palette’ does not exist on type ‘theme'” is referring to.

To fix this error, you have a few options:

• Option 1: Add a ‘palette’ property to the ‘Theme’ interface if it is a valid property for your use case.
• Option 2: Assign the ‘palette’ property to ‘myTheme’ before accessing it. For example, `myTheme.palette = “red”;`.
• Option 3: Verify that you are accessing the correct property name. Sometimes, typos or naming inconsistencies can lead to this error.
