Under @flow strict, what alternatives are there to Object for utility functions?












2















I am interested in switching my Flow code to strict type checking, but I have some low-level utility functions that deal with Objects generically, such as:



// @flow strict

const hasKey = (o: Object): (string => boolean) =>
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.bind(o);

const union = (os: Array<Object>): Object =>
os.reduceRight((acc, o) => ({ ...acc, ...o }), {});


Since the Object type isn't allowed in strict mode, how do you declare types for functions that are explicitly supposed to operate on any generic Object?
