Overwrite `any` in TypeScript when merging interfaces

问题

I'm using Express and I'm trying to explicitly define res.locals. In the @types/express package, Express.Response.locals is any, so I can't seem to overwrite it:

types/express/index.d.ts:

declare namespace Express {
  interface Response {
    locals: {
      myVar: number
    }
  }
}

My Middleware:

import * as express from 'express'

function middleware(
  req: express.Request, 
  res: express.Response, 
  next: express.nextFunction
) {
  res.locals.myVar = '10' // I want this to throw a compiler error
  next()
}

I want my wrong assignment of res.locals.myVar to error, but res.locals is still any according to my autocompletion.

How can I remove any and completely replace it?

Unfortunately there is no way to override any using interface merging. You can so some surgery on the type and replace the type using mapped and conditional types:

import * as express from 'express'

type Omit<T, K extends keyof T> = Pick<T, Exclude<keyof T, K>>

type MyResponse = Omit<express.Response, "locals"> & { 
  locals: {
    myVar: number
  }
}
function middleware(
  req: express.Request, 
  res: MyResponse, 
  next: express.NextFunction
) {
  res.locals.myVar = '10' // error now
  next()
}

I recently ran into this issue and managed to resolve it by creating an index.d.ts in my src folder to overwrite res.locals, my implementation looked like this:

// src/index.d.ts

interface Locals {
  message?: string;
}

declare module 'express' {
  export interface Response  {
    locals: Locals;
  }
}

Make sure you also have it included in your tsconfig.json, e.g

// somewhere in your tsconfig.json
  "include": [
    "src/**/*.ts"
  ]

You would use the interface just as you would normally

import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from 'express';

export const handler = (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
  // should be typed
  res.locals.message = 'hello'
}

Hope this helps!
