Property ‘subscribe’ does not exist on type ‘void’

by

The error message “property ‘subscribe’ does not exist on type ‘void'” is a TypeScript error that occurs when you try to access or use the subscribe method on a variable or object that is of type void.

In TypeScript, the void type represents the absence of any type. It is often used as the return type of functions that do not return any value. When a function has a void return type, it means that it does not return any value and cannot be assigned to a variable.

To fix this error, you need to ensure that you are calling the subscribe method on a variable or object that is of a type that has a subscribe method.

Example:

    
      // Declare a variable of type void
      let myVariable: void;

      // Try to call subscribe on myVariable (which is of type void)
      myVariable.subscribe(); // This will result in the error "property 'subscribe' does not exist on type 'void'"

In the above example, we declared a variable myVariable of type void. Since myVariable has a type of void, it does not have the subscribe method available. Thus, when we try to call myVariable.subscribe(), TypeScript throws the error “property ‘subscribe’ does not exist on type ‘void'”.

To resolve this error, you need to make sure the variable or object you are trying to call subscribe on has the appropriate type. For example, if you are working with an observable from a library like RxJS, you need to ensure that the variable or object is of type Observable or similar, which has the subscribe method defined.
