What is the type of a jQuery object in TypeScript?

Question

What type I should use for jQuery elements?

Without jQuery I go on like this:

export class Modal {
    constructor(protected element:HTMLElement) {
    }
}

But, lets say element will be a jQuery selector like $('.myDiv') for example. What type should element then have?

Answer 1

After installing the types needed (npm install --save-dev @types/jquery), you can type it as just JQuery:

constructor(protected element: JQuery) {

}
