Typescript error when passing null to selectItem

[WinSanPang]

• downshift version: 6.1.7
• node version: 14.15.4
• npm (or yarn) version: 1.22.19

Relevant code or config

type Item = {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  information: string;
  warning: boolean;
}
const [itemList, setItemList] = React.useState<Item|null>(null);
const {
    isOpen,
    getMenuProps,
    getInputProps,
    getComboboxProps,
    getItemProps,
    closeMenu,
    selectItem,
    selectedItem
  } = useCombobox({
    items: itemList,
    itemToString: () => '',
    onSelectedItemChange: ({ selectedItem }) => {
      if (selectedItem) {
        onSelection(selectedItem)
      }
    }

  useEffect(() => {
    if (clearSelectItem) {
      selectItem(null)
    }
  }, [clearSelectItem, selectItem, selectedItem])

What you did:

• Following the example in the docs, I'm trying to set selectItem to null on an action triggered by the user (click an X button for the item previously selected + rendered on the page to remove it)

What happened:

• The action works as expected, but Typescript errors, stating we can't pass null to selectItem: Argument of type 'null' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Item'.ts(2345)

Problem description:

• Tracing the previous thread issue 1088, it seems like we allow selectedItem to be null and various arguments within onChange, onSelect, etc. but selectItem is strictly typed against Item

Suggested solution:

• Update selectItem to also accept null as an argument

Lol nevermind, realise this has been fixed in later version 7. Ignore me
