Need to fix the typing for my services asap. Dev experience is becoming unbearable.

I’m unsure about Strapi internally, but <@171666531434889216> made it work like this for the Webtools plugin:

github.com

pluginpal/strapi-webtools/blob/master/packages/core/server/util/getPluginService.ts

import { pluginId } from './pluginId';
import type config from '..';

type Config = typeof config;
type Services = Config['services'];
/**
 * A helper function to obtain a plugin service.
 * @param {string} name The name of the service.
 *
 * @return {any} service.
 */
export const getPluginService = <ServiceName extends keyof Services>(name: ServiceName) => {
  const service = strapi.service(`plugin::${pluginId}.${name}`);
  return service as ReturnType<Services[ServiceName]>;
};
