How do I create an ag-Grid cell editor using React and TypeScript? - reactjs

Question

I see that the ag-grid-react repo has types, and I also see that the ag-grid-react-example repo has examples. But how do I put the two together and create a cell editor with React and Types?
I'm guessing it's something like this but I can't make TypeScript happy:
class MyCellEditor implements ICellEditorReactComp {
public getValue() {
// return something
}
public render() {
const { value } = this.props
// return something rendering value
}
}

I implemented ICellEditor and used ICellEditorParams for prop definitions. For example, this MyCellEditor example from their documentation:
// function to act as a class
function MyCellEditor () {}
// gets called once before the renderer is used
MyCellEditor.prototype.init = function(params) {
// create the cell
this.eInput = document.createElement('input');
this.eInput.value = params.value;
};
// gets called once when grid ready to insert the element
MyCellEditor.prototype.getGui = function() {
return this.eInput;
};
// focus and select can be done after the gui is attached
MyCellEditor.prototype.afterGuiAttached = function() {
this.eInput.focus();
this.eInput.select();
};
// returns the new value after editing
MyCellEditor.prototype.getValue = function() {
return this.eInput.value;
};
// any cleanup we need to be done here
MyCellEditor.prototype.destroy = function() {
// but this example is simple, no cleanup, we could
// even leave this method out as it's optional
};
// if true, then this editor will appear in a popup
MyCellEditor.prototype.isPopup = function() {
// and we could leave this method out also, false is the default
return false;
};
became this:
class MyCellEditor extends Component<ICellEditorParams,MyCellEditorState> implements ICellEditor {
constructor(props: ICellEditorParams) {
super(props);
this.state = {
value: this.props.eGridCell.innerText
};
}
// returns the new value after editing
getValue() {
// Ag-Grid will display this array as a string, with elements separated by commas, by default
return this.state.value;
};
// Not sure how to do afterGuiAttached()
// if true, then this editor will appear in a popup
isPopup() {
return true;
};
render() {
return (
<div>
hello
</div>
);
}
}
