HttpParams get and getAll methods return type does not support number neither boolean #42637
Description
Bug Report
Affected Package
The issue is caused by package @angular/common/http
Is this a regression?
No.
Description
From Angular version 12, the HttpParamsOptions allows number and boolean types in fromObject, introduced with commit #40663
But, the return type for get and getAll methods in HttpParams is string | null and string[] | null respectively.
This causes type errors and tests failing.
Minimal Reproduction
const params = new HttpParams({ fromObject: { numericParam: 5 } });
console.log(
typeof params.get('numericParam') === 'number', // true
params.get('numericParam') === '5', // false
// params.get('numericParam') === 5, // does not compile
);
