Deta Base - typescript custom response

[mhaprean]

Hello guys,

I want to use deta base with express js and typescript.

interface IUser {
  key: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  password: string;
  role: string;
}

const deta = Deta(process.env.DETA_PROJECT_KEY);
const usersDB = deta.Base('users');

const userResponse =  await usersDB.get('FirstUser');

The issue is that type of userResponse is GetResponse, but the structure is IUser, as I inserted. I don't return the value instantly, I need to do more stuff with it, and typescript autocomplete will be very helpful.

Currently I am doing this, but doesn't look like the right solution:

const user = (userResponse as unknown) as IUser;

is there a recommended way to handle this kind of things? Thank you.

I would love to know more on this as well.
So far this is what I'm doing

const res = await clientDB.get(key);
const result: Client = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(res));

I think making those Base methods accept some generic type would be good. So we can do db.get<IUser>().
