The error message “Type mismatch: inferred type is String but Number was expected” indicates that your code is trying to use a String where a Number is required. This is a common issue in TypeScript or JavaScript when dealing with type mismatches.
Here’s how you can resolve this issue in a uni-app project:
1. Explicitly Convert the String to a Number
If you have a string that represents a number and you need to use it as a number, you can convert it using one of the following methods:
-
Number(): Converts a string to a number.
let str = "123";
let num = Number(str); // num is now a number
-
parseInt(): Parses a string and returns an integer.
let str = "123";
let num = parseInt(str, 10); // num is now a number
-
parseFloat(): Parses a string and returns a floating-point number.
let str = "123.45";
let num = parseFloat(str); // num is now a number
2. Check the Source of the String
If the string is coming from user input, an API, or another source, ensure that it is properly validated and converted before using it in a context that expects a number.
3. TypeScript Type Annotations
If you’re using TypeScript, you can use type annotations to ensure that the correct type is used:
let str: string = "123";
let num: number = Number(str); // Explicitly convert to number
4. Example in uni-app
Here’s an example of how you might encounter and resolve this issue in a uni-app component:
<template>
<view>
<input v-model="inputValue" type="text" placeholder="Enter a number" />
<button @click="calculate">Calculate</button>
</view>
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import { defineComponent, ref } from 'vue';
export default defineComponent({
setup() {
const inputValue = ref('');
const calculate = () => {
// Convert the string input to a number
const num = Number(inputValue.value);
if (isNaN(num)) {
console.error('Invalid number');
return;
}
// Now you can use `num` as a number
console.log('Number:', num);
};
return {
inputValue,
calculate,
};
},
});
</script>
