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);

不使用扩展

使用这里描述的XOR: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53229567/8954109

// Create a type that requires properties `a` and `z`, and one of `b` or `c`
type Without<T, U> = { [P in Exclude<keyof T, keyof U>]?: never };
type XOR<T, U> = (T | U) extends object ? (Without<T, U> & U) | (Without<U, T> & T) : T | U;

interface Az {
  a: number;
  z: number;
}

interface B {
  b: number;
}

interface C {
  c: number;
}

type XorBC = XOR<B, C>;
type AndAzXorBC = Az & XorBC;
type MyData = AndAzXorBC;

const ok1: MyData = { a: 0, z: 1, b: 2 };
const ok2: MyData = { a: 0, z: 1, c: 2 };
const badBothBC: MyData = {
  a: 0, z: 1,
  b: 2,
  c: 3
};
const badNoBC: MyData = { a: 0, z: 1 };
const badNoZ: MyData = { a: 0, b: 2 };

对无效类型产生以下错误:

  Type '{ a: number; z: number; b: number; c: number; }' is not assignable to type 'Az & Without<C, B> & B'.

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'
}

有一些很酷的Typescript选项，你可以使用https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/utility-types.html#omittk

你的问题是:创造一个既存在“文本”又存在附件的界面。你可以这样做:

interface AllMessageProperties {
  text: string,
  attachement: string,
}

type Message = Omit<AllMessageProperties, 'text'> | Omit<AllMessageProperties, 'attachement'>;

const messageWithText : Message = {
  text: 'some text'
}

const messageWithAttachement : Message = {
  attachement: 'path-to/attachment'
}

const messageWithTextAndAttachement : Message = {
  text: 'some text',
  attachement: 'path-to/attachment'
}

// results in Typescript error
const messageWithOutTextOrAttachement : Message = {

}

到目前为止还没有人提到过，但我认为，无论谁偶然看到这一页，都可以考虑使用受歧视的工会。如果我正确理解OP代码的意图，那么它可能会像这样转换。

interface Attachment {}

interface MessageBase {
    type?: string;
    user?: string;
    ts?: string;
    team?: string;
    event?: string;
    match?: [string, {index: number}, {input: string}];
}

interface AttachmentMessageNoContext extends MessageBase {
    kind: 'withAttachments',
    channel: string;
    attachments: Attachment[];
}

interface TextMessageNoContext extends MessageBase {
    kind: 'justText', 
    channel: string;
    text: string;
}

type Message = TextMessageNoContext | AttachmentMessageNoContext

const textMessage: Message = {
  kind: 'justText',
  channel: 'foo',
  text: "whats up???" 
}

const messageWithAttachment: Message = {
  kind: 'withAttachments',
  channel: 'foo',
  attachments: []
}

现在Message接口需要附件或文本，这取决于kind属性。

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}>
