Generator-jhipster: @types/[email protected] breaks generated code for app/modules/login/login.tsx

[nagarajasr]

Motivation for or Use Case

I am unable to generate new monolithic application any more due to change in @types/[email protected]

@types/[email protected] introduced a change that breaks the generated code for app/modules/login/login.tsx

``` diff -r node_modules/@types/history/index.d.ts ../otsc/2020/otsc/node_modules/@types/history/index.d.ts 52,55c52 < // The value type here is a "poor man's `unknown`". When these types support TypeScript < // 3.0+, we can replace this with `unknown`. < type PoorMansUnknown = {} | null | undefined; < export type LocationState = PoorMansUnknown; --- > export type LocationState = any;

##### **Reproduce the error**

This has already been fixed on master with:

const { from } = location.state as any || { from: { pathname: '/', search: location.search } };
