# Type Basics

### Type declaration

There are several ways we can declare type in TS

ts
let word: string = "test";
let num: number = 101;
let words: string[] = ["this", "is", "an", "array", "of", "strings"];

## Testing with TypeScript
​
<br/>
​
Yes, TypeScript(TS) allows us to be strict with the `types` of data we call functions with and the types we allow to be returned - how that data should look. However, TS doesn't have any impact on our logic, or prevent a function returning data with an incorrect value.
​
Therefore, the need for testing remains and TS can work with TDD to allow for cleaner tests that only test the behaviour of our code, with TS handling any edge cases.
​
TS compiles down to JavaScript(JS), meaning there are many Node.js compatible testing frameworks available with great documentation. These include [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/Mocha) (testing framework) and [Chai](https://www.chaijs.com/) (assertion library) or [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) (framework _and_ library). Most frameworks behave in a similar way so the the choice is yours.
