Typescript, Type Object Is Not Generic

Question

I am trying to create a type for an Object. But can't seem to get it right. This is what I have.

private test:Object<Test>;

this.test = {id : 'test'};

interface Test
{
   id : string;
}

This doesn't work. This gives me the following error:

Type Object Is Not Generic

What is the right way (syntax) to create types for Objects like this?

Define a class Test:

export class Test {
  field1: number;
  field2: string;
  /// ...
}

then

private test:Test;

Update: Sorry, didn't notice you have Test as interface. It's fine too.

So same usage, you don't need Object<Test>, just Test
