Convert class component to functional with typescript interface

I have the following class-based component. And I had to convert it to a functional component

import React from 'react'

import { API } from '../../api'
import { JobPosting } from '../../types'
import { JobPostings } from './JobPostings'

interface State {
  jobPostings: JobPosting[]
  loading: boolean
}

export class JobPostingsPage extends React.Component<{}, State> {
  state = {
    jobPostings: [],
    loading: true,
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    API.jobPostings.loadAll().then(({ data }) => {
      this.setState({
        jobPostings: data,
        loading: false,
      })
    })
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.loading) {
      return null
    }

    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Job Postings</h1>

        <JobPostings jobPostings={this.state.jobPostings} />
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Now, I want to convert above class based to functional component. So I used useState and useEffect and converted it to functional based as below

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'

import { API } from '../../api'
import { jobPostings } from '../../api/jobPostings'
import { JobPosting } from '../../types'
import { JobPostings } from './JobPostings'

interface State {
  jobPostings: JobPosting[]
  loading: boolean
}

export const JobPostingsPage: React.FC<State> = ({} ) => {
  const [jobPostings, setJobPostings] = useState<JobPosting[]>([]);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    API.jobPostings.loadAll().then(({ data }) => {
      setJobPostings(data);
      setLoading(false)
    })
  })

  return(
    loading ? null: (
      <div>
        <h1>Job Postings</h1>

        <JobPostings jobPostings={jobPostings} />
      </div>
    )
  )}

The problem I face is that it is giving an error when I do npm start. It says Type '{}' is missing the following properties from type 'State': jobPostings, loading TS2739

This points to the below code in router file

const routes = {
  home: '/',
}

export const Router: React.FC = () => (
  <BrowserRouter>
    <Switch>
      <Route exact path={routes.home}>
        <JobPostingsPage /> -------------------> ERROR ON THIS LINE <------------
      </Route>
    </Switch>
  </BrowserRouter>
)

Any idea where I am going wrong with the conversion. Please any input is appreciated.

Answer

The problem is in this line:

export const JobPostingsPage: React.FC<State> = ({} ) => {

Here should be the props defined instead of the state. From the class component I take that the props are empty, so you should exchange it for this and be fine:

export const JobPostingsPage: React.FC<{}> = ({} ) => {
