Using styled components with props and typescript

Question

I'm trying to integrate typescript into our project and so far I stumbled upon one issue with styled-components library

Consider this component

import * as React from "react";
import styled from "styled-components/native";
import { TouchableOpacity } from "react-native";

// -- types ----------------------------------------------------------------- //
export interface Props {
  onPress: any;
  src: any;
  width: string;
  height: string;
}

// -- styling --------------------------------------------------------------- //
const Icon = styled.Image`
  width: ${(p: Props) => p.width};
  height: ${(p: Props) => p.height};
`;

class TouchableIcon extends React.Component<Props> {
  // -- default props ------------------------------------------------------- //
  static defaultProps: Partial<Props> = {
    src: null,
    width: "20px",
    height: "20px"
  };

  // -- render -------------------------------------------------------------- //
  render() {
    const { onPress, src, width, height } = this.props;
    return (
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPress}>
        <Icon source={src} width={width} height={height} />
      </TouchableOpacity>
    );
  }
}

export default TouchableIcon;

Following line throws 3 errors, that are same in nature <Icon source={src} width={width} height={height} />

Type {source: any; width: string; height: string;} is not assignable to type IntrinsicAttributes ... Property 'onPress' is missing in type {source: any; width: string; height: string;}

Not entirely sure what this is and how to fix it, do I somehow need to declare these on Icon or something of this sort?

EDIT: typescript v2.6.1, styled-components v2.2.3

There have been some recent developments and with a new version of Typescript (eg. 3.0.1) and styled-components (eg. 3.4.5) there's no need for a separate helper. You can specify the interface/type of your props to styled-components directly.

interface Props {
  onPress: any;
  src: any;
  width: string;
  height: string;
}

const Icon = styled.Image<Props>`
  width: ${p => p.width};
  height: ${p => p.height};
`;

and if you want to be more precise and ignore the onPress

const Icon = styled.Image<Pick<Props, 'src' | 'width' | 'height'>>`
  width: ${p => p.width};
  height: ${p => p.height};
`;
