How to define an array of strings in TypeScript interface?

An array is a special type of data type which can store multiple values of different data types sequentially using a special syntax.

TypeScript supports arrays, similar to JavaScript. There are two ways to declare an array:

  1. Using square brackets. This method is similar to how you would declare arrays in JavaScript.
let fruits: string[] = ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Banana'];
  1. Using a generic array type, Array.
let fruits: Array<string> = ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Banana'];

Both methods produce the same output.

Of course, you can always initialize an array like shown below, but you will not get the advantage of TypeScript's type system.

let arr = [1, 3, 'Apple', 'Orange', 'Banana', true, false];
