#182 for dom.generated.d.ts?

[saschanaz]

TypeScript Version: 2.2.1 / nightly (2.2.0-dev.201xxxxx)

Code

(Covered by #15338)

declare var URLSearchParams: {
    prototype: URLSearchParams;
    /**
      * Constructor returning a URLSearchParams object.
      */
    new (init?: string | URLSearchParams): URLSearchParams;

}

new URLSearchParams({key: "730d67"}) // valid but error

Expected behavior:

#182 should be applied to DOM types

Actual behavior:

No way to add a new overload signature before a PR to fix

[saschanaz]

Or can we please just convert them to classes?

[DanielRosenwasser]

Classes wouldn't allow you to add new construct signatures - only new static members.

[saschanaz]

Ah yes, you're right.

I would not want to add a static interface for every DOM interface, that is a lot of global scope pollution.

If you are really blocked, just copy lib.d.ts change the declaration, and use it until the issue is fixed.

[saschanaz]

that is a lot of global scope pollution.

I agree, but then what do you think about class-ifying them? It will still not allow adding constructor signatures but at least will do for other members.

[mhegazy]

I think we should add classes regardless. that is covered by #574
