extendOptions and typescript definition

[generalleger]

I want to add a key to my definitions, so I used SimpleSchema.extendOptions to define the key. In my case, I want to add a key that simply holds a string that defines what the purpose of the schema entry refers to. For example:

SimpleSchema.extendOptions(['dict']);

....

creationMethod: {
      type: String,
      allowedValues: ['single', 'multi'],
      dict: 'Identifies whether the document was created as part of a bulk upload "multi" or a single user event "single" '
    }

That worked just fine, but it now gives me a typescript error in the editor because Typescript does not know about the custom option 'dict' I added.

Any recommendations for this? Thanks!

In the test we use a // @ts-expect-error comment above each extended option to silent TS. Potentially we could add a generic type argument so that you could do something like new SimpleSchema<ExtendedOptions>({ ... })
