[typescript] Typescript: difference between String and string

TypeScript: String vs string

Argument of type 'String' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.

'string' is a primitive, but 'String' is a wrapper object.

Prefer using 'string' when possible.

demo

String Object

// error
class SVGStorageUtils {
  store: object;
  constructor(store: object) {
    this.store = store;
  }
  setData(key: String = ``, data: object) {
    sessionStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(data));
  }
  getData(key: String = ``) {
    const obj = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem(key));
  }
}

string primitive

// ok
class SVGStorageUtils {
  store: object;
  constructor(store: object) {
    this.store = store;
  }
  setData(key: string = ``, data: object) {
    sessionStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(data));
  }
  getData(key: string = ``) {
    const obj = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem(key));
  }
}
