TypeScript Type Inference guide with Generic Components in React
After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I'm working with an scenario with type inference for a generic component in TypeScript while using React. I've created a generic component that takes props of a defined type, but TypeScript is having trouble inferring the type correctly when I use it in another component. Here's a simplified version of what I've done: ```typescript // GenericComponent.tsx import React from 'react'; interface GenericProps<T> { data: T; } const GenericComponent = <T,>({ data }: GenericProps<T>): JSX.Element => { return <div>{JSON.stringify(data)}</div>; }; export default GenericComponent; ``` In my parent component, I'm using it like this: ```typescript // ParentComponent.tsx import React from 'react'; import GenericComponent from './GenericComponent'; interface User { name: string; age: number; } const ParentComponent: React.FC = () => { const user: User = { name: 'John', age: 30 }; return <GenericComponent data={user} />; }; export default ParentComponent; ``` However, I am getting the following behavior: ``` Type 'User' is not assignable to type 'never'. ``` I've tried explicitly setting the type parameter when using `GenericComponent` like this: ```typescript <GenericComponent<User> data={user} /> ``` But it still doesn't resolve the scenario. I've ensured that the `User` interface is correctly defined and that the data being passed matches its structure. I'm using TypeScript version 4.5.2. Is there something I'm missing or a better way to set up my generic component that would allow TypeScript to infer the types correctly? Any guidance would be appreciated. This is part of a larger web app I'm building. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
