How to add correct types to useRef of perspective camera?

[xzilja]

I'm using this project with typescript and it requires to add types to useRef hook. I'm having issues figuring out what type to use for PerspectiveCamera, so far I got this going

But as you can see, camera position can be undefined and its set method is actually returned as any despite camera.position.set() being correct and working operation. I also tried importing PerspectiveCamera from three and using typeof PerspectiveCamera, but result was even worse in terms of type safety.

const ref = use ref<THREE.PerspectiveCamera>(null!)

Mind the ! in the end
