Generics in helper methods

[tstackhouse]

I have a generic form component similar to the following simplified example:

class FormComponent<T> {
  DEFAULT_VALUE: T = { };
  form: FormGroup<T>;
}

And in parts of the code I'm making calls like this.form.reset(this.DEFAULT_VALUE) and it worked just fine in previous versions, but now I'm thrown a TypeScript error like this: Argument of type 'T' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ValuesOf<T>'. It also pops up if I try to use setValue but not patchValue. I'm not sure what's going on or how I can address this, we're working on upgrading to angular 14 and the newest version of reactive forms, but this one has me stumped.

I think I may have actually figured it out. It appears that I need to modify my component declaration like so:

class FormComponent<T extends Record<string, any>> {
  DEFAULT_VALUE: T = { };
  form: FormGroup<T>;
}
