returning viewConfig to webix.ui

Webix JS
#1

Writting project using Typescript, I faced that problem. (MVC based)

`export default function VComponent(): any {
	return {
		view:"datatable",
		container: "App-container",
		columns:[
			{ id:"rank",    header:"",              width:50},
			{ id:"title",   header:"Film title",    width:200},
			{ id:"year",    header:"Released",      width:80},
			{ id:"votes",   header:"Votes",         width:100}
		],
		data: [
			{ id:1, title:"The Shawshank Redemption", year:1994, votes:678790, rank:1},
			{ id:2, title:"The Godfather", year:1972, votes:511495, rank:2}
		]
	}
}`

trying to call it this way

`ComponentPublicFunction():any {
       webix.ui(VComponent())
}`

The question is how can I replace ANY with exact type?
If I choose “viewConfig”, I catch TS2322, seems this type doesn’t contain colums or data.

As I see webix.ui can take some config. What config it is?

#2

you can use webix.ui.datatableConfig, or you can omit type definition and the type implicitly will be as is.

#3

so I can’t use config as universal type?
coz this function may return not only datatable. Omit unacceptable coz Typescript in strict mode.
… maybe it should look like interface
