Property 'trigger_id' does not exist on type 'SlackAction'

[cjdenio]

Description

I'm writing a Slack app in TypeScript, and I'm having trouble extracting the trigger_id from a block action. It looks like this could be a TypeScript issue, because trigger_id does exist on the BlockAction type.

Fixed; I had to do a type assertion on the body. Closing because it seems like it's a TypeScript thing.
This helped me out: microsoft/TypeScript#12815

import { BlockAction } from "@slack/bolt/dist/types/actions/block-action"

app.action("callback_id", async ({ ack, body }) => {
  ack();
  console.log((<BlockAction>body).trigger_id);
});

You can satisfy TypeScript compiler by giving type in the constraints: #349

Thanks @seratch, using type is much cleaner than the type assertion:

app.action({ action_id: "...", type: "block_actions" }, async () => {})
