A union type can be defined in TypeScript using an array of strings by using the |
operator to separate the elements of the array. For example:
type MyUnionType = 'string1' | 'string2' | 'string3';
This creates a type MyUnionType
that can be one of three string values: 'string1'
, 'string2'
, or 'string3'
.
If the strings are retrieved dynamically from an array, they can be used with a ReadonlyArray
and the typeof
operator to infer the union type. For example:
const strings = ['string1', 'string2', 'string3'] as const;
type MyUnionType = typeof strings[number];
This creates a type MyUnionType
that can be one of the three string values in the strings
array. The as const
assertion is necessary to ensure that the array is treated as a readonly tuple rather than a regular array.
