Question about PactJs with Typescript

I recently began to covert a JS sample repo to TS, here’s the <https://github.com/muratkeremozcan/pact-js-example-provider/pull/5/files|PR>

What is the correct type of the <https://github.com/muratkeremozcan/pact-js-example-provider/pull/5/files#diff-4a665c54604420c8717531b7677da347a8c75b31bd1b190505d76c2c1d6202d6R39|stateHandlers?>


based on `node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact/src/dsl/message.d.ts`
```export interface ProviderState {
   name: string;
   params?: {
       [name: string]: string;
   };
}```
What if my param is a number, like id?

There are a couple of open issues here

See <https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/issues/1057> and also  <https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/pull/1120>

This is actually the correct type, and it should be the same as the Message variant.

Doing this is a breaking change though, but it expands the type of `params`.

For now, you could force it to accept a wider type, as you’re correct in noticing it should accept more than just a string
