as keyword for enum in typescript?

Issue

I have this type

type Abc = 'a' | 'b' | 'c'

how can I make myObj.something type Abc?

I can think of valueOf:

const myObj = {
    something: ['a', 'b', 'c'] as valueOf Abc
}

but I wonder why it doesn't work

Solution

in your case you are trying to set ['a', 'b', 'c'] (which is an array) as Abc. You should define myObj.something as an array of type Abc, with Abc[]

const myObj = {
    something: ['a', 'b', 'c'] as Abc[]
}
