TypeScript: `any` vs `unknown`

[TomokiMiyauci]

Currently, empty forms are generated as any type.

In TypeScript, there are few situations where the any type is more suitable than the unknown type.

Both are tolerant of assignments. unknown is more type-safe than any because it is strictly for reference.

I think the unknown type is better suited for the role of a code generator.

As a work around to the above, you could do something like the following to explicitly output an unknown type:

{
  "data": {
    "metadata": {
      "typescriptType": "unknown"
    }
  }
}
