Type 'number[]' is missing the following properties from type '[number, number, number]': 0, 1, 2

[skaletaPL]

While trying to build an example code:
const event = { start: [2018, 5, 30, 6, 30], duration: { hours: 6, minutes: 30 }, title: 'Bolder Boulder', description: 'Annual 10-kilometer run in Boulder, Colorado', location: 'Folsom Field, University of Colorado (finish line)', url: 'http://www.bolderboulder.com/', geo: { lat: 40.0095, lon: 105.2669 }, categories: ['10k races', 'Memorial Day Weekend', 'Boulder CO'], status: 'CONFIRMED', busyStatus: 'BUSY', organizer: { name: 'Admin', email: '[email protected]' }, attendees: [ { name: 'Adam Gibbons', email: '[email protected]', rsvp: true, partstat: 'ACCEPTED', role: 'REQ-PARTICIPANT' }, { name: 'Brittany Seaton', email: '[email protected]', dir: 'https://linkedin.com/in/brittanyseaton', role: 'OPT-PARTICIPANT' } ] }

I get the following error:

Types of property 'start' are incompatible.
       Type 'number[]' is not assignable to type 'DateArray'.
         Type 'number[]' is missing the following properties from type '[number, number, number]': 0, 1, 2

npm : 6.14.14
ics: 2.35.0

Same issue discussed in #138

I faced this and found the solution to it.

The problem is, when you're setting the event variable, you write the start property like so:
const event = { start: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] }

Typescript will see "start" as number[] which is correct because it inferred the type, it's an array of numbers. But the createEvent method expects an array with 5 numbers like [Number, Number, Number, Number, Number].

To resolve the issue you have to set the type of the event object to the EventAttributes:
const event:ics.EventAttributes = { start: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] }

This will make typescript not infer the type. As far as I'm aware this is the correct behavior from typescript.
