Using API key authenticaion as per Feathers documentation causes TS compilation errors

[JPStrydom]

Steps to reproduce

• Create a new Feathers project configured with TS
• Set up API key (machine key) authentication as instructed by the feathers documentation here

• You'll get a TS compilation error on the line app.use('authentication', authentication); stating:

  src/authentication.ts:25:51 - error TS2339: Property 'apiKey' does not exist on type '{ entity?: string | null | undefined; entityId?: string | und
  efined; service?: string | undefined; parseStrategies?: string[] | undefined; jwtOptions?: {} | undefined; jwt?: { header: string; schemes: string; } | undefined; local?: { ...; } | undefined; oauth?: { ...; } | undefined; secret: string; authStrategies: s...'.
  
  25     const config = this.app.get('authentication').apiKey;
                                                       ~~~~~~
  src/authentication.ts:43:29 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'AuthenticationService' is not assignable to parameter of type 'AuthenticationService & ServiceAddons<any, Service<any, Partial<any>, Params<Query>, Partial<Partial<any>>>>'.
    Type 'AuthenticationService' is missing the following properties from type 'ServiceAddons<any, Service<any, Partial<any>, Params<Query>, Partial<Partial<any>>>>': hooks, publish, registerPublisher, addListener, and 14 more.
  
  43   app.use('authentication', authentication);
                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Expected behavior

The API key authentication from the Feathers example should work and allow API key authentication.

Actual behavior

The provided example doesn't compile. I've also tried the following:

interface ServiceTypes {
    authentication: AuthenticationService; // & ServiceAddons<any>;
  }

Which resolves the initial issue, but then the following error occures:

src/authentication.ts:25:51 - error TS2339: Property 'apiKey' does not exist on type '{ entity?: string | null | undefined; entityId?: string | und
efined; service?: string | undefined; parseStrategies?: string[] | undefined; jwtOptions?: {} | undefined; jwt?: { header: string; schemes: string; } | undefined; local?: { ...; } | undefined; oauth?: { ...; } | undefined; secret: string; authStrategies: s...'.

25     const config = this.app.get('authentication').apiKey;
                                                     ~~~~~~

}

I'm sure I'm just missing something wrong with the TS typing, but not sure where to start.

Have you tried adding that property to your configurationSchema in configuration.ts?
