TypeScript Interfaces Add functions or properties to an existing interface
Example
Let's suppose we have a reference to the JQuery type definition and we want to extend it to have additional functions from a plugin we included and which doesn't have an official type definition. We can easily extend it by declaring functions added by plugin in a separate interface declaration with the same JQuery name:
interface JQuery {
pluginFunctionThatDoesNothing(): void;
// create chainable function
manipulateDOM(HTMLElement): JQuery;
}
The compiler will merge all declarations with the same name into one - see declaration merging for more details.
