Fixing `noImplicitAny` Errors
This lesson discusses techniques of addressing compilation errors caused by enabling `noImplicitAny`.
We'll cover the following
Explicit any
annotation
The simplest way to fix errors caused by enabling noImplicitAny
is simply explicitly marking the type as any
. How is this better than skipping the type annotation altogether? It’s still unsafe, right?
Correct; but with explicit annotations, it’s much easier to spot these occurrences (for example, during code reviews). Because of the propagating aspect of any
, it’s easy to not realize that some portion of code is not type-checked. Making any
explicit addresses this issue.
