Is there a type for “Class” in Typescript? And does “any” include it?

Question

In Java, you can give a class to a method as a parameter using the type \"Class\". I didn\'t find anything similar in the typescript docs - is it possible to hand a class to

Answer 1

Angular internally declare Type as:

export interface Type extends Function { new (...args: any[]): T; }

With TypeScript3 it should be possible to add types for arguments without function overloading:

export interface TypeWithArgs extends Function { new(...args: A): T; } 

Example:

class A {}

function create(ctor: Type): A {
    return new ctor();
}

let a = create(A);
