How to use object literals in array with no-object-literal-type-assertion?

TypeScript code being linted

@NgModule({
  providers: [
    <FactoryProvider> {
      deps: [LOG_ROOT_FACTORY],
      provide: LOG_FACTORY,
      useFactory: createLogger,
    },
  ],
})

with tslint.json configuration:

"no-object-literal-type-assertion": true

Behavior

It complains about the <FactoryProvider>.

It would be nice to have an example how to use it in such cases. Should every provider hold as const?

Can you elaborate what the actual problem is?

Just remove the type assertion and everything should be fine. If there's a compile error without the assertion, there's probably something wrong with your code.

I know you use this pattern to get code completion inside the object literal. If that doesn't work without the assertion, that's better reported in the typescript repo.

[CSchulz]

It is just used for better code completion and I am just wondering how to declare it there.

Maybe this is related and eventually solves your issues: microsoft/TypeScript#16457

+1 to ajafff's comments. Looks like the TypeScript issue is resolved - resolving as aged away and external.
