[bug]: Type error: Property 'char' does not exist on type 'SlotProps | undefined'.

[ritmillio]

Describe the bug

After installation of the input-otp component I am getting a build error in Next.js - using TypeScript.

The error occurs here: const { char, hasFakeCaret, isActive } = inputOTPContext.slots[index];

Property 'char' does not exist on type 'SlotProps | undefined'.ts(2339)
Property 'hasFakeCaret' does not exist on type 'SlotProps | undefined'.ts(2339)
Property 'isActive' does not exist on type 'SlotProps | undefined'.ts(2339)

How to reproduce

Install input-otp.

Setup eslint:
eslintrc.cjs:

/** @type {import("eslint").Linter.Config} */
const config = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  parserOptions: {
    project: true,
  },
  plugins: ["@typescript-eslint"],
  extends: [
    "next/core-web-vitals",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-type-checked",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/stylistic-type-checked",
  ],
  rules: {
    // These opinionated rules are enabled in stylistic-type-checked above.
    // Feel free to reconfigure them to your own preference.
    "@typescript-eslint/array-type": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/consistent-type-definitions": "off",

    "@typescript-eslint/consistent-type-imports": [
      "warn",
      {
        prefer: "type-imports",
        fixStyle: "inline-type-imports",
      },
    ],
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": ["warn", { argsIgnorePattern: "^_" }],
    "@typescript-eslint/require-await": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/no-misused-promises": [
      "error",
      {
        checksVoidReturn: { attributes: false },
      },
    ],
  },
};

module.exports = config;

this will fix it.

const { char, hasFakeCaret, isActive } = inputOTPContext.slots[
    index
  ] as SlotProps

this will fix it.

const { char, hasFakeCaret, isActive } = inputOTPContext.slots[
    index
  ] as SlotProps

I have the following error with this solution:

Use a ! assertion to more succinctly remove null and undefined from the type.eslint@typescript-eslint/non-nullable-type-assertion-style

Ran into the same issue today, fresh install from shadcn.

I reinstalled my project with PNPM instead of Bun, problem solved.

Apologies, I had a very similar issue, but I solved this issue by putting an exclamation mark at the end of the line.
