How to fix error TS2345: Argument of type 'string | undefined' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.

So I had this error with Typescript:

 error TS2345: Argument of type 'string | undefined' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.

  canActivate(activatedRouter: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, routerState: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
    return this.checkAuthentication(activatedRouter.routeConfig.path);
  }

Solution

You can fix this by specifying a possible empty object tin return:

  canActivate(activatedRouter: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, routerState: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
    return this.checkAuthentication(activatedRouter.routeConfig.path || '{}');
  }
