Sometimes, we want to add return type for a function that returns another function in TypeScript.
In this article, we’ll look at how to add return type for a function that returns another function in TypeScript.
How to add return type for a function that returns another function in TypeScript?
To add return type for a function that returns another function in TypeScript, we can define a return type that returns a function like any other type.
For instance, we write
export const add: (a: number) => (b: number) => number = (a) => (b) => a + b;
to define the add function that takes a number argument and returns a function that takes another number argument and that returns a number.
And then we assign it a function that matches the signature and return type.
We can also substitute number for a generic type.
To do this, we write
const add: <A extends number, B extends number>(a: A) => (b: B) => number =
(a) => (b) =>
a + b;
``
And we substitute `number` for types `A` and `B` in the function signatures of the type definition.
### Conclusion
To add return type for a function that returns another function in TypeScript, we can define a return type that returns a function like any other type.
