[Bug]: TypeScript Error with "noUncheckedIndexedAccess" in tsconfig.json

Mapbox Implementation

Mapbox

Mapbox Version

default

React Native Version

0.75.2

Platform

iOS, Android

@rnmapbox/maps version

10.1.29

Standalone component to reproduce

Reproduction repo

import { Camera, Map } from '@rnmapbox/maps'
import React, { useRef } from 'react'

function MapComponent() {
  const cameraRef = useRef<Camera>(null)

  return (
               <Map cameraRef={cameraRef}>
                {/*...*/}
               </Map>
  )
}

Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

1. Init new react-native project npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init
2. Install @rnmapbox/maps
3. Add "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true to tsconfig.json
4. Add Map component with cameraRef prop. Example
5. Run npx tsc --noEmit

Found 8 errors in 1 file.

Errors  Files
     8  node_modules/@rnmapbox/maps/src/components/Camera.tsx:450

Expected behavior

Changes to project local typescript configuration should not impact files imported from node_modules

Notes / preliminary analysis

Possible Solution

Update paddingConfig type declaration:

Change the type from number | number[] to number | [number, number] | [number, number, number, number]. This ensures a stricter type safety as only these specific array lengths are meaningful and expected in the context of the Camera component.

Enable noUncheckedIndexedAccess for the project:

By enabling this flag for the entire project, similar issues can be prevented in future development cycles, enforcing stricter type checks and improving overall code robustness.

Additional links and references

There is a previously closed issue regarding this problem marked as completed: https://github.com/rnmapbox/maps/issues/2528

Start with src/components/Camera.tsx around line 450, where tsc reports the errors when noUncheckedIndexedAccess is enabled in tsconfig.json. Reproduce with the linked Map.tsx example and npx tsc --noEmit; done means the TypeScript check no longer reports these errors while preserving the intended paddingConfig types.
