Check if certain props changed, no indexer

I am using TS 2.4 -

I have an object defined by interface:

interface Foo 
 name: string,
 version: number,
 qux: boolean,
 baz: boolean

I do not want an indexer in here. I now want to do a .some to see if certain props changed. These props are defined as strings in an array.

const significantProps = ['name', 'version'];

const foo: Foo = ;
const prevFoo: Foo = ;
const shouldUpdate = significantProps.some((prop: string) => foo[prop] !== prevFoo[prop]);

However this gives me error:

[ts] Element implicitly has an 'any' type because type 'Foo' has no index signature. [7017]

Is there a way to achieve this?

If you want to index things, you'll need an indexer. ...

Redefine that array of keys to actually be an array of keyof Foo:

const significantProps: (keyof Foo) = ['name', 'version'];

const foo: Foo = as any;
const prevFoo: Foo = as any;
const shouldUpdate = significantProps.some((prop) => foo[prop] !== prevFoo[prop]);
