Property 'resize' does not exist on type 'CSSStyleDeclaration'

[fiznool]

TypeScript Version: 2.0.3

Code

const textarea = document.createElement('textarea');
textarea.style.resize = 'none';

Expected behavior:

• No warning

Actual behavior:

• Warning: Property 'resize' does not exist on type 'CSSStyleDeclaration'

To workaround this I have created a new interface extending from CSSStyleDeclaration which does the trick for now.

interface CSSStyleDeclarationWithResize extends CSSStyleDeclaration {
  resize: string
}

const textarea = document.createElement('textarea');
const style: CSSStyleDeclarationWithResize = textarea.style as CSSStyleDeclarationWithResize;
style.resize = 'none';

That's a mighty intimidating set of contribution guidelines. I'll see if I can find some time but for something so trivial I'll probably just continue to use an extended interface as above, as IMO this is easier than making a contribution here. If a core contributor can find the time to add this in it would be much appreciated.

The issue is up for grabs. Any interested member can pick it up. But I would say be the PR you want to see in the world ;)

I will fix it. It should be easy. Just adding the missing type to the related json file in https://github.com/Microsoft/TSJS-lib-generator project.
