How to access components on a GameObject?

Hi, Iā€™m currently trying to access a specific component on an newly spawned gameObject (IGameObject). getComponent is not availible, neither is a gameObject object. Iā€™m sure there is an easy way, but I canā€™t figure out how to do it :sweat_smile:

Why is it not available? Maybe just vscode? You can also use the static method on GameObject

VSCode tells me: ā€œProperty ā€˜getComponentā€™ does not exist on type ā€˜IGameObjectā€™.ā€

Ahhh, my bad. Itā€™s too obvious :sweat_smile:
this.renderer = GameObject.getComponent(cubeElement, Renderer);

VSCode was kind of right: the interface was missing the methods (even tho they did exist on the object) - added them now so itā€™ll not error in the next version anymore
