Using Material-UI muiThemeable in Typescript

it seems to me the material-ui definition for muiThemeable function is not right ...

doing

export default muiThemeable()(MainHeader);

is the same as doing

export const themed = muiThemeable<MainHeader, {}, {}>()(MainHeader)

and doesn't compile because you omitted component property type and component property state

the compiler infers

<TComponent<P, S>,{}, {}>

which doesn't match the Function constraints

        export function muiThemeable<TComponent extends (React.Component<P, S>), P, S>()
            : (component: TComponent ) => TComponent;

... lets add the missing constrains

to satisfy the compiler , we should do

export default (props: Properties) => muiThemeable<MainHeader, Properties, any>()(new MainHeader(props));

but this is giving an instance to the function , when the F is expecting a class

if you later on do ...

// ...    
import Themeable from "./themeable";
let  props = { title: "hello!" };
ReactDOM.render(<Themeable {...props}/>, document.getElementById("main"));

it won't work

but if you change muiThemeable definition to:

 export function muiThemeable<TComponent extends (React.Component<P, S>), P, S>()
        : (component: Function ) => TComponent;

then you can use:

export default muiThemeable<MainHeader, Properties, any>()( MainHeader);

the tsc will generate errors

JSX element type 'Themeable' does not have any construct or call signatures

but it will transpile the right thing , and work

but that's not OK,

because:

• it doesn't build
• Function is NOT describing the right parameter type
• neither TComponent describes what is returned,

it looks like its returning an instance when we need a class,... a type

finally:

this signature makes a bit more sense:

export function muiThemeable<TComponent extends (React.Component<P, S>), P, S>(): (component: new()=> TComponent ) => ( new() =>  TComponent);

but after looking at the source

export function muiThemeable<TComponent extends React.Component<P, S>, P extends MuiThemeProviderProps, S> (Component: new () => TComponent): React.StatelessComponent<P> 

And this could be a way to get away with re-writing or augmenting the definition.
Wrapping the function
... and perhaps using a decorator to reduce boilerplate and easier reading...
