How to declare a typed object variable in Typescript

Question

I have a Employees typescript interface:

export interface Employees {
  [employeeId: string]: {
    name: string
    gender: Gender
  }
}

How would I declare a variable employees that is of type Employees ?

I have tried the following without success:

const employees: Employees{};
const employees: {Employees};
const employees: {}Employees;

Answer 1

It's easy. Read docs link

const employees: Employees = 'your object here' ;
