TypeScript right adapt constructor

🔍 Search Terms

I have implemented a function JavaAdapter to inherit classes and return instantiated objects. Now I'm creating a declaration for it.

type ProxyMethods<T extends object> = { [K in keyof T]?: T[K] } | {};

declare function JavaAdapter<T, K extends ProxyMethods<T>, Args>(
  className: new (...args: Args) => T,
  override: K,
  ...args: Args
): K & T;

In most cases, it works fine. However, when the inherited object has multiple constructor functions with different parameter counts, it cannot accurately match, for example:

JavaAdapter(
  android.widget.Button,
  {
    setOnClickListener(view) {
      console.log(view);
    },
  },
  activity,
  // new android.util.AttributeSet()
);

This usage is correct and matches one of the constructor functions, but TypeScript prompts "Expected 4 arguments, but got 3." It works only when I add new android.util.AttributeSet(). The partial declaration of android.widget.Button is as follows:

declare module android {
  export module widget {
    class Button {
      public setOnClickListener(view: this): void;
      public constructor(context: android.content.Context);
      public constructor(context: android.content.Context, attribute: android.util.AttributeSet);
    }
  }
}

Besides changing to constructor(context: android.content.Context, attribute?: android.util.AttributeSet);, can TypeScript better adapt?

✅ Viability Checklist

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This isn't a request to add a new utility type: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/No-New-Utility-Types
• This feature would agree with the rest of our Design Goals: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals

⭐ Suggestion

TypeScript matches correctly based on parameters

💻 Use Cases

1. What do you want to use this for?
2. What shortcomings exist with current approaches?
3. What workarounds are you using in the meantime?

The issue provides no repository file or test entry point; start by reproducing the JavaAdapter call with the overloaded android.widget.Button constructors shown in the example. Compare the accepted and rejected argument counts, then define a focused expected behavior for overload adaptation and add a regression test demonstrating what should be considered done.
