How do I enable Typescripts native List?

Question

I read that Typescript now support List<> as native here

Is there a typescript List<> and/or Map<> class/library?

And that you can enable it with lib.d.ts but how? I found the file in the node_modules and I don't think I should edit that right? And even if I should edit it, what should I add/remove?

Answer 1

TypeScript does not add new runtime constructs to the language (with the notable exception of namespaces, which are pretty much deprecated, and enums).

Map is a JavaScript concept, therefore it is supported by TypeScript. List , however, is not.

There's no native implementation of List in TypeScript. Use an array.
