How to type either

Quick question. I have an object I'm passing as a parameter. It has the shape

{id: number, name: string, foo: Partial<SomeObject>}

{id: number, name: string, foo: Partial<SomeObject>}

I need either or both id and name, and I require foo. How would I go about typing this?

Does this work?

It does, idk why I didn't think of explicitly unioning the three possible versions

Hmm actually it's not

It's telling me that id and name don't exist on type mything when i use it as a param

Can you do and to make it even more explicit (I had that before, but removed it since I thought it worked w/o

)

Would

never

never

imply it can't be two at once?

Yeah you'd have to have the 3rd one saying it can be both
