//creating your own type or type alias in typescript is very easy for example

//direction type what only allowed dirction values

export type Direction="north"|"south"|"east"|"west";

//strArray allowed only string and array where array is number of boolean type

export type strArray=string|Array<number|boolean>;

//an interfacce type---------

export type userdd=userDD;

interface userDD

{

userDirection:Direction

username:string

}

class human

{

private direction:Direction;

private myarray:strArray;

private newuser:userdd;

constructor()

{

/*

myarray is string and array type where Array is number or boolean

type so any other value in myarray not allowed

*/

//not allowed

//this.myarray=["manish"]

//allowrd

this.myarray=[true,false];

//newuser is userDD type so both below value allowed because

username is string type and userDirection is direction type

this.newuser={

username:"manish",

userDirection:"east"

}

}

public setDirection(_direction:Direction)

{

this.direction=_direction;

}

public getDirection()

{

return this.direction;

}

public moveMe()

{

switch(this.direction)

{

case "north":

console.log("move north")

break;

case "south":

console.log("move south")

break;

case "east":

console.log("move east")

break;

case "west":

console.log("move west")

break;

}

}

}

//check your type

var h=new human();

h.setDirection("north")//move human to north direction

h.moveMe();
