Flow type checking for overriden static function extended type argument

I have some basic type that is processing with some class static function. Also I have an extended type, so I want to write an extended class to process it the same way with code reuse.



The code works find, but I can't figure out how to make flow happy here.



Here is a small example:



// @flow

type Data = {
id: number
}

type ExtendedData = Data & {
name: string
}

class SomeClass {
static something(some: Data): this {
return new this(); // returns SomeClass
}
}

class SomeOtherClass extends SomeClass {
// flow: Cannot extend `SomeClass` [1] with `SomeOtherClass`
// because property `name` is missing in `Data` [2] but exists in
// object type [3] in the first argument of property `something`.
static something(some: ExtendedData): this {
return /* returns SomeOtherClass here */ super.something(some);
}
}

          The point flow complains is similar to this one, your implementation breaks L in SOLID i.e. it'll fail in next case:



          const f = (S: Class<SomeClass>) => {
          S.something({id: 1})
          }
          f(SomeClass); // ok
          f(SomeOtherClass); // fail, no name property


          You can say him that only Data is ok as well for SomeOtherClass, and he'll be happy:



          static something(some: Data | ExtendedData): this {...}
