Hey 👋

#

Does the Customer object have a value for the email property?

radiant crater Jul 19, 2022, 11:17 PM

#

Yeah it all works fine its just that when running tsc i get this error and also VS Code flags it as an issue

#

I can also see it exists in node_modules

#

#

It may be a value that could be null. For the little bit of Typescript I've worked on I've had to add many a .? to indicate that

#

Okay and the email property is itself nullable

radiant crater Jul 19, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

Yeah i can see it is an optional property whereas id is not

#

What happens if you do put a ? at the end of email?

radiant crater Jul 19, 2022, 11:23 PM

#

Incorrect syntax

#

I think it would be more like this:

#

But still same error

#

Hmmm...

#

Okay, I got an assist from a colleague and based on this Github issue: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/issues/1032,
it looks like you need to explicitly cast the value returned as a Customer since you could also get a DeletedCustomer
