Currently in the process of migrating my JavaScript code to TypeScript, I am considering using the "any" type as a temporary solution for some functions until they are all updated. However, when attempting to assign a variable with this type, I encountered an error:
const a : any = b
I understand that incorporating "any" goes against best practices in TypeScript, but I would like to use it temporarily without encountering errors. Are there any configurations in tsconfig.json or Visual Studio Code that can prevent errors when explicitly typing "any"?
Here is an excerpt from my tsconfig.json file for reference:
/* Type Checking */
// "strict": true
"noImplicitAny": false
