Walkthrough

This PR removes a duplicate InterfacePostCard definition from src/types/Post/interface.ts and adds TypeScript ambient module support for the 'react-multi-carousel' package to resolve type conflicts and improve module compatibility.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Interface cleanup
src/types/Post/interface.ts
Removed the exported InterfacePostCard interface and associated imports (User, Comment types) to eliminate duplicate interface definitions.
Type declarations
src/vite-env.d.ts
Added ambient module declaration for 'react-multi-carousel' to enable TypeScript recognition of this untyped module.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1
❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Out of Scope Changes check ❓ Inconclusive While the main change (removing InterfacePostCard from src/types/Post/interface.ts) directly addresses issue #6243, the addition of the 'react-multi-carousel' ambient module declaration in src/vite-env.d.ts appears unrelated to the stated objective. Clarify whether the 'react-multi-carousel' module declaration is necessary for this fix or should be in a separate PR addressing a different issue.
✅ Passed checks (4 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title check ✅ Passed The title 'fix: remove duplicate InterfacePostCard definition' directly and clearly summarizes the main change—removing a duplicate interface definition to resolve type conflicts.
Description check ✅ Passed The PR description includes all essential sections: the type of change (bug fix), issue reference (#6243), clear summary of the problem and solution, testing confirmation, and contributor agreement acknowledgment.
Linked Issues check ✅ Passed The PR directly addresses issue #6243 by removing the duplicate InterfacePostCard definition from src/types/Post/interface.ts to consolidate into a single source-of-truth definition and resolve TypeScript typecheck failures.
Docstring Coverage ✅ Passed No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.

Learning: In the Talawa Admin codebase, the i18n extraction tool can misclassify TypeScript generic syntax (e.g., (obj: T): Partial) as translatable content. Suppress these false positives by adding a // i18n-ignore-next-line comment directly above the line with the type declaration or generic function signature. Apply this only to TS code where misclassification is confirmed; avoid blanket suppression.

Learning: Use TSDoc (eslint-plugin-tsdoc) instead of JSDoc. Do not wrap type names in curly braces in throws and returns. Write as "throws Error" and "returns Promise<void>" (no braces). Curly-brace usage causes tsdoc-malformed-inline-tag and tsdoc-escape-right-brace lint errors. Apply this rule to all TypeScript source files (e.g., src/**/*.ts) to ensure consistency.

Learning: Consolidate all post-related TypeScript interfaces (e.g., ICreatePostModalProps, InterfacePinnedPostsLayoutProps, InterfacePinnedPostCardProps, InterfacePost, InterfacePostEdge) in src/types/Post/interface.ts and export them for reuse across post directories; follow a functionality-based organization pattern consistent with Event and User types, and maintain consistent naming and export style.

1-1: Clear documentation of the interface removal.

The comment effectively communicates the removal of InterfacePostCard and directs developers to the centralized definition in src/utils/interfaces.ts, which aligns perfectly with the PR objectives.


73-83: Run pnpm run typecheck in your development environment to confirm zero TypeScript errors.

Per the coding guidelines for TypeScript files, verify that pnpm run typecheck passes without errors or warnings. The interface definition should be checked against all referenced types (InterfaceCreator, InterfaceAttachment) to ensure proper type safety.

src/vite-env.d.ts (1)

5-5: This ambient module declaration should be in a separate PR.

The declare module 'react-multi-carousel'; declaration is necessary—react-multi-carousel is imported and used in src/screens/UserPortal/Posts/Posts.tsx and src/screens/OrgPost/PinnedPostsStory.tsx. However, this change is unrelated to the PR's stated objective of removing duplicate InterfacePostCard definitions. It addresses a separate typecheck issue and should be split into its own commit or PR for clarity and independent review.

9-23: Fix type incompatibility: InterfacePostEdge.node should be PostNode, not InterfacePost.

Line 21 changes InterfacePostEdge.node to InterfacePost, but the GraphQL query returns data matching the PostNode type structure. This creates a breaking type mismatch:

  • GraphQL response includes: commentCount, upVotesCount, downVotesCount, hasUserVoted (all required by PostNode)
  • InterfacePost lacks these properties, causing type incompatibility at line 169 in src/screens/UserPortal/Posts/Posts.tsx where edge.node is assigned to state typed as PostNode[]

InterfacePostEdge.node should be typed as PostNode to match the actual GraphQL schema, or define a union type if supporting multiple node shapes.
