why are you using
unknown
here instead ofRegExp | any
as specified above?There was a problem hiding this comment.

RegExp | any
doesn’t make any sense in typescript, it will still evaluate asany
. Andunknown
is safer thenany
because it doesn’t imply any knowledge about type.As for JSDoc annotation there’s no
unknown
type, soany
is the closest alternative. And it’s still helpful to mentionRegExp
because it has special treatment (match instead of just equality check).There was a problem hiding this comment.

@wuron is correct: types in TS are sets, and since
any
is already a superset of everything else, havingT | any
, for any type, is always exactly identical to just havingany
.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Addendum: you can actually use
unknown
in JSDoc and most tools will just show "unknown" there, and anything TS-aware will actually correctly interpret it.There was a problem hiding this comment.

If that’s preferred I can set it to
RegExp | unknown
in JSDoc. But does it really change anything? JSDoc definitions are only used as documentation: to generateAPI.md
file, or to hint types for non-TS environments. In both cases we want to communicate that this method accepts any value, henceany
works just fine.In TS definitions we shouldn’t use
any
, because it’s compatible with all types and allows us to do something like this without any warnings:Parameter with type
unknown
is much safer, and it still allows to pass any value.
