💻 Code

getComputedStyle(document.body)['background-color']

🙁 Actual behavior

TypeScript reports following error:

Element implicitly has an 'any' type because index expression is not of type 'number'.

🙂 Expected behavior

TypeScript should not report any error.

Additional information about the issue

If I update the file node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.dom.d.ts to include background-color as follows:

interface CSSStyleDeclaration {
  // ...
  'background-color': string;
  // ...
}

the error does not occur for background-color property.
