How can I convert a type union into an array of values?
I'm trying to create this:
const sportsArray = ['Football', 'Baseball', 'Hockey'];
...from this:
type Sports = 'Football' | 'Baseball' | 'Hockey';

1The answer to that question is a bit confusing to me, as it seems like it's going from array -> type, whereas I'm trying to go from type -> array – Jonathan.Brink Aug 19 '20 at 18:28

1The answer linked by @Abhilash states it is not possible to do what you are trying to accomplish. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/13298 proposal was declined as it would not leave the type system fully erasable. – Lesiak Aug 19 '20 at 18:33
