error TS2345: Argument of type ‘Event’ is not assignable to parameter of type ‘{ target: { value: string; }; }’

I am getting an error while building angular app.

HTML Template

  <mat-form-field *ngIf="requested">
    <input
      matInput
      (input)="sendingAccesscode($event)"
      placeholder="{{ 'CODE_LABEL' | i18next }}"
      name="accesscode"
      formControlName="accesscode"
      minlength="6"
      required
    />
  </mat-form-field>

TypeScript

  sendingAccesscode(event: { target: { value: string }}) {
    if (event.target?.value.length >= 6) {
      this.accessCode.emit(event.target.value);
    }
  }

I am getting the following error:

error TS2345: 
Argument of type 'Event' is not assignable to parameter of type '{ target: { value: string; }; }'.
  Types of property 'target' are incompatible.
    Type 'EventTarget | null' is not assignable to type '{ value: string; }'.
      Type 'null' is not assignable to type '{ value: string; }'.

13       (input)="sendingAccesscode($event)"
                                    ~~~~~~```

Answer

How about setting it to the type Event this will fix your issue!

you can also use InputEvent

sendingAccesscode(event: Event) {
    const value = (event.target as HTMLInputElement).value;
    if (value && value.length >= 6) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  }
