TreeTable and DataTable | Typescript Definition Bug for global Filters

[tft7000]

filters injected into the TreeTable component should be a key-value object following the documentation. The global filter is supposed to use the key global. The code concerning the global filter suggests the same: https://github.com/primefaces/primevue/blob/master/src/components/treetable/TreeTable.vue#L564

However the type definition defines filters as TreeTableFilterMeta:
https://github.com/primefaces/primevue/blob/master/src/components/treetable/TreeTable.vue#L564

That interface defines the keys as [key: string]: TreeTableFilterMetaData | TreeTableOperatorFilterMetaData;. Those values would be objects.

I am not sure about local filtering (except for the discrepancy to the docs), but it is not the correct definition for the global filter.

Current behavior

if I define filters as TreeTableFilterMeta, I cannot set filters["global"] without getting an TS2322 Typescript error.

If I define filters as { global?: string } (because I just need the global filter) I get the TS2322 Typescript error Type '{ global?: string | undefined; }' is not assignable to type 'TreeTableFilterMeta'. (Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'TreeTableFilterMetaData | TreeTableOperatorFilterMetaData'.)

Expected behavior

Either I have a typescript definition that I could use or I use my own.

Please tell us about your environment:

• primevue 3.12.2
• vue 3.2.31
• typescript 4.5.4

Workaround

I used the following workaround for the global filter:

I created the file primevue.d.ts (name should not matter, I put it in src/types/):

import {
  TreeTableFilterMetaData,
  TreeTableOperatorFilterMetaData,
} from "primevue/treetable";

export interface TreeTableFilterMeta {
  global?: string | undefined;
  /**
   * Filter keys
   * @see TreeTableFilterMetaData
   */
  [key: string]: TreeTableFilterMetaData | TreeTableOperatorFilterMetaData;
}

(Note: it only solves the global filter, I did not check the column filters)

I've been struggling to fix the error message with TS too. I found a way to fix it temporarily and thought I'd share it:
const searchFilters = ref<TreeTableExpandedKeys>({ global: '' })
