在 TypeScript 中输入具有联合类型的数组？

Question

I was just wondering if it is possible to type array with a union type, so that one array can contain both Apples and Oranges but nothing else.

Something like

var arr : (Apple|Orange)[] = [];

arr.push(apple); //ok
arr.push(orange); //ok
arr.push(1); //error
arr.push("abc"); // error

Needless to say, the example above does not work so this may not be possible, or am I missing something?

Answer 1

class Apple {
  appleFoo: any;
}

class Orange {
  orangeFoo: any;
}

var arr : Array<Apple|Orange> = [];

var apple = new Apple();
var orange = new Orange();

arr.push(apple); //ok
arr.push(orange); //ok
arr.push(1); //error
arr.push("abc"); // error

var something = arr[0];

if(something instanceof Apple) {
  something.appleFoo; //ok
  something.orangeFoo; //error
} else if(something instanceof Orange) {
  something.appleFoo; //error
  something.orangeFoo; //ok
}

Answer 2

As per TS 2.3.4 is as simple as

let someArray: (typeA|typeB)[] = [
  new typeA(),
  new typeB()
]
