# String Literal Types
|
||||
|
||||
String literal types are a powerful feature in TypeScript that allows you to specify exact string values a variable can hold. This is useful for creating more precise types and can help catch errors at compile time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const DIRECTIONS = ["left", "right", "up", "down"] as const;
|
||||
type Direction = typeof DIRECTIONS[number];
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
function move(direction: Direction) {
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Array Usage
|
||||
for (const dir of DIRECTIONS) {
|
||||
move(dir);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In the above examples you can see how we can both use the `Direction` type directly and also leverage the `DIRECTIONS` array for type-safe values.
