How to get target type from pallet_vesting?

Question

after importing pallet_vesting, one of the pre-built pallets https://docs.substrate.io/rustdocs/latest/pallet_vesting/pallet/enum.Call.html

I have imported sp_runtime

use frame_support::{
    pallet_prelude::*,
    sp_runtime::traits::{Hash, StaticLookup, Zero},
    traits::{Currency, LockableCurrency, ReservableCurrency},
};
use pallet_vesting;

I would like to use the following functions from that pallet_vesting source code:

  fn add_vesting_schedule(
    who: &T::AccountId,
    locked: BalanceOf<T>,
    per_block: BalanceOf<T>,
    starting_block: T::BlockNumber,
  ) -> DispatchResult {...}

pub fn vested_transfer(
  origin: OriginFor<T>,
  target: <T::Lookup as StaticLookup>::Source,
  schedule: VestingInfo<BalanceOf<T>, T::BlockNumber>,
) -> DispatchResult {...}

I have figured out those types:

OriginFor<T> for origin type

BlockNumberFor<T>, for starting_block T::BlockNumber type

T::AccountId, for my target or destination arguments

BalanceOf<T> for locked type and per_block type

  type BalanceOf<T> =
    <<T as Config>::Currency as Currency<<T as frame_system::Config>::AccountId>>::Balance;

But that T::AccountId is not compatible with the vested_transfer() function's target type! See the error message below:

type annotations needed cannot satisfy _: pallet_vesting::ConfigrustcE0283 lib.rs(281, 10): required by a bound in pallet_vesting::Pallet::<T>::vested_transfer

how can I import the correct target type?

further digging into the source code, I got this:

use sp_runtime::traits::{StaticLookup, Zero};
...
  impl<T: Config> Lookup for ChainContext<T> {
    type Source = <T::Lookup as StaticLookup>::Source;
    type Target = <T::Lookup as StaticLookup>::Target;
    ...
  }

Please help. Thank you!

I am just assuming that you are looking for some syntax to mention the associated types of a type that implements StaticLookup. Should work like this:

type SourceOf<T> = <T::Lookup as StaticLookup>::Source;
type TargetOf<T> = <T::Lookup as StaticLookup>::Target;
