To benefit from this inference, a programmer can use the TypeScript language service. For example, a code editor can incorporate the TypeScript language service and use the service to find the members of a string object as in the following screen shot.

In this example, the programmer benefits from type inference without providing type annotations. Some beneficial tools, however, do require the programmer to provide type annotations. In TypeScript, we can express a parameter requirement as in the following code fragment.

A typical client would not need to add any additional typing but could just use a community-supplied typing to discover (through statement completion with documentation tips) and verify (through static checking) correct use of the library, as in the following screen shot.

JavaScript programming interfaces often include functions whose behavior is discriminated by a string constant passed to the function. The Document Object Model makes heavy use of this pattern. For example, the following screen shot shows that the 'createElement' method of the 'document' object has multiple signatures, some of which identify the types returned when specific strings are passed into the method.

The following code fragment uses this feature. Because the 'span' variable is inferred to have the type 'HTMLSpanElement', the code can reference without static error the 'isMultiline' property of 'span'.

In the following screen shot, a programming tool combines information from overloading on string parameters with contextual typing to infer that the type of the variable 'e' is 'MouseEvent' and that therefore 'e' has a 'clientX' property.

Section [3.9.2.4](#3.9.2.4) provides details on how to use string literals in function signatures.

The resulting type an array literal expression is determined as follows:
* If the array literal is empty, the resulting type is an array type with the element type Undefined.
* If the array literal is empty, the resulting type is an empty tuple type in `granularConst` mode, otherwise an array type with the element type Undefined.
* Otherwise, if the array literal contains no spread elements and is contextually typed by a tuple-like type (section [3.3.3](#3.3.3)), the resulting type is a tuple type constructed from the types of the element expressions.
* Otherwise, if the array literal contains no spread elements and is an array assignment pattern in a destructuring assignment (section [4.21.1](#4.21.1)), the resulting type is a tuple type constructed from the types of the element expressions.
* Otherwise, the resulting type is an array type with an element type that is the union of the types of the non-spread element expressions and the numeric index signature types of the spread element expressions.
