Angular export import object (getting object data)

Question

On file 'A' I have this:

export const settings: object = {
  base: 1
}

Now on file 'B' I import it and extract the base value:

import * as mySettings from '../settings';

baseValue: object=mySettings.settings.base;

This is returning an error:

property: base does not exist on type: object.

How can I fix this?

You could give it a type that includes the base property, specifically (`{ base: number }`) or generally (`{ [key: string]: number }`). Or just `any`, but then you might as well not use TS. — jonrsharpe, Jul 08 '17 at 10:26

Solution

Remove the type in your code, in this case the word "object"

Creating the Settings File

Create a file with following code, let's save with the name settings

export const settings = {
  base: 1
};

Importing the file

Now, import the file with the path '../settings', I created a alias mySettings

import * as mySettings from '../settings';

baseValue: number = mySettings.settings.base;
