Can a variable be typed as strings or object?

Question

Angular

Good day. I have a variable "Simple: any". For me, this variable should be a string by default.
It must be a string because by default it is in the FormControle as setState. But an object can fly into it. Is it possible to type a variable to be a string and an object? And not just the any type?

Answer 1

You can: And it will be even better if you describe how your object looks like, for example:
Simple: string | Object

{
  field1: string,
  field2: number
}
