When the typescript compiler gets you down, don't get mad -- get even! Express your distaste for static types and show tsc that you mean business with ts-lol!
npm install --save-dev ts-lol
Then, use ts-lol's expressive type library to cast your way to a successful compile!
import { lol } from "ts-lol";
const x: number = <lol> "not a number";let y = ["what", "a", "cool", "string", "array"];
y = <nope> {"not": "anymore!"};
y = <nah> {"huh?": "still no"};interface Spam {
eggs(howMany: string): number;
}
const spam: Spam = <welcometotypescriptwhereeverythingsmadeupandthetypesdontmatter> 5;
console.log(spam.eggs("100")); // We'll have to find out at runtime!Contributions welcome, many more types coming soon!
