How to convert a string to number in TypeScript?
The Typescript way to do this would be:
Number('1234') // 1234
Number('9BX9') // NaN

Exactly like in JavaScript, you can use the parseInt
or parseFloat
functions, or simply use the unary +
operator:
var x = "32";
var y: number = +x;
All of the mentioned techniques will have correct typing and will correctly parse simple decimal integer strings like "123"
, but will behave differently for various other, possibly expected, cases (like "123.45"
) and corner cases (like null
).
