Property 'value' does not exist on type EventTarget in TypeScript

Question

So the following code is in Angular 4 and I can\'t figure out why it doesn\'t work the way as expected.

Here is a snippet of my handler:

onUpdatingSe         


        

Answer 1

Passing HTMLInputElement as a generic to the event type should work too:

onUpdatingServerName(event: React.ChangeEvent) {
  console.log(event);
  this.newserverName = event.target.value;
}
