discord.js - Imagine an app•16mo ago

The expected type comes from property 'content' which is declared here on type 'InteractionReplyOpti

 const type: string = this.options.interaction.deferred || this.options.interaction.replied ? "editReply" : "reply";

await this.options.interaction[type]({
// code

 const type: string = this.options.interaction.deferred || this.options.interaction.replied ? "editReply" : "reply";

await this.options.interaction[type]({
// code

like this it don't cause any problems but when i specify the type like this

 const type: "reply" | "editReply" = this.options.interaction.deferred || this.options.interaction.replied ? "editReply" : "reply";

 const type: "reply" | "editReply" = this.options.interaction.deferred || this.options.interaction.replied ? "editReply" : "reply";

it give me this error

"hello" : null but it still causing an error yeah i fixed it using this _ _ thanks anyway
