TypeScript: Valid types

Join the AI Workshop to learn more about AI and how it can be applied to web development. Next cohort February 1st, 2026

The AI-first Web Development BOOTCAMP cohort starts February 24th, 2026. 10 weeks of intensive training and hands-on projects.

I’ve introduced a few types so far.

Valid types are

number
string
boolean
void
null
undefined
Array
…and more.

Then we have any, a catch-all type that allows any type, which is special in the sense we shouldn’t use it, as it removes many benefits of type checking, but sometimes it’s an “easy way out” from having to define types in a strict way.
