Typescript error: TS7053 Element implicitly has an 'any' type

Question

this is part of my code:

const myObj: object = {}
const propname = \'propname\'

myObj[propname] = \'string\'
<         


        

Answer 1

You have to define what kind of index type the object has. In your case it is a string based index.

const myObj: {[index: string]:any} = {}

Answer 2

Why just simple replace 'object' with 'any':

const myObj: any = {}
const propname = 'propname'

myObj[propname] = 'string'

Another short alternative.
