bug report

What is the current behavior?

If I install the newest version via npm, my build job breaks because I get.

node_modules/ts-essentials/dist/types.d.ts:5:13 - error TS2322: Type 'K' is not assignable to type 'string'.
  Type 'string | number' is not assignable to type 'string'.
    Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'.

5     [key in K]: T;

What is the expected behavior?

Build job succeeds

What’s your environment?

react-final-form: 6.3.0 typescript:3.5.3

Other information

I was able to track it down to what seems like the dependency version that is in NPM for ts-essentials is 2.0.8 but your master branch in this repo is 3.0.2.

I had my package.json install from github instead of NPM and that worked.

The screenshot shows that the installed package has latest version of react-final-form but an old version of ts-essentials

I’m super curious if this project is really being maintained anymore. 7 days to update a simple dependency. =( So sad.

@lookfirst, the sole maintainer has a full time job, a family, and, in August, was writing a brand new, responsive, docs website for this project, and in September and October was speaking at conferences to promote the project. Sorry to sadden you.

@erikras I appreciate your efforts and have only a slight idea of what a thankless job it must be at times. Thank you for your work.
