还可以为通用属性使用抽象类，而不是接口，以防止某人意外实现该接口。

abstract class BaseMessage {
  timestamp?: number;
  /* more general properties here */
  constructor(timestamp?: number) {
    this.timestamp = timestamp;
    /* etc. for other general properties */
  }
}
interface IMessageWithText extends BaseMessage {
  text: string;
  attachment?: never;
}
interface IMessageWithAttachment extends BaseMessage {
  text?: never;
  attachment: string;
}
type Message = IMessageWithText | IMessageWithAttachment;

我进一步压缩了@Voskanyan David的解决方案，得到了我个人认为非常简洁的解决方案:

你仍然需要在某个地方定义Only<>和Either<>

type Only<T, U> = {
    [P in keyof T]: T[P];
} & {
    [P in keyof U]?: never;
};

type Either<T, U> = Only<T, U> | Only<U, T>

之后，可以在没有任何中间接口/类型的情况下定义它:

type Message {
    type?: string;
    channel?: string;
    user?: string;
    // ...etc
} & Either<{message: string}, {attachment: Attachment}>

您可以为所需的条件创建一些接口，并将它们以如下类型连接起来:

interface SolidPart {
    name: string;
    surname: string;
    action: 'add' | 'edit' | 'delete';
    id?: number;
}
interface WithId {
    action: 'edit' | 'delete';
    id: number;
}
interface WithoutId {
    action: 'add';
    id?: number;
}

export type Entity = SolidPart & (WithId | WithoutId);

const item: Entity = { // valid
    name: 'John',
    surname: 'Doe',
    action: 'add'
}
const item: Entity = { // not valid, id required for action === 'edit'
    name: 'John',
    surname: 'Doe',
    action: 'edit'
}

还可以为通用属性使用抽象类，而不是接口，以防止某人意外实现该接口。

abstract class BaseMessage {
  timestamp?: number;
  /* more general properties here */
  constructor(timestamp?: number) {
    this.timestamp = timestamp;
    /* etc. for other general properties */
  }
}
interface IMessageWithText extends BaseMessage {
  text: string;
  attachment?: never;
}
interface IMessageWithAttachment extends BaseMessage {
  text?: never;
  attachment: string;
}
type Message = IMessageWithText | IMessageWithAttachment;

谢谢@ryan-cavanaugh，让我找到了正确的方向。

我有一个类似的情况，但是是数组类型。在语法上有点困难，所以我把它放在这里供以后参考:

interface BaseRule {
  optionalProp?: number
}

interface RuleA extends BaseRule {
  requiredPropA: string
}

interface RuleB extends BaseRule {
  requiredPropB: string
}

type SpecialRules = Array<RuleA | RuleB>

// or

type SpecialRules = (RuleA | RuleB)[]

// or (in the strict linted project I'm in):

type SpecialRule = RuleA | RuleB
type SpecialRules = SpecialRule[]

更新:

请注意，稍后在代码中使用声明的变量时，可能仍然会收到警告。然后可以使用(变量作为类型)语法。 例子:

const myRules: SpecialRules = [
  {
    optionalProp: 123,
    requiredPropA: 'This object is of type RuleA'
  },
  {
    requiredPropB: 'This object is of type RuleB'
  }
]

myRules.map((rule) => {
  if ((rule as RuleA).requiredPropA) {
    // do stuff
  } else {
    // do other stuff
  }
})

你可以使用联合类型来做到这一点:

interface MessageBasics {
  timestamp?: number;
  /* more general properties here */
}
interface MessageWithText extends MessageBasics {
  text: string;
}
interface MessageWithAttachment extends MessageBasics {
  attachment: Attachment;
}
type Message = MessageWithText | MessageWithAttachment;

如果你想同时允许文本和附件，你可以这样写

type Message = MessageWithText | MessageWithAttachment | (MessageWithText & MessageWithAttachment);
