When fetching data from the API using depth=1 or more, how can I assert that the response has all the relationships filled in rather than strings? Typescript properly assumes every relationship is string | Media for example, but I know that the value is Media, because I provided depth=1.

Right now, I'm casting the props like the attached image. However, then I need to cast again or use ts-ignore when I'm using the component. What's the best practice for asserting Typescript types when you know something is one of the optional values?
