Typescript and React setting initial state with empty typed array

Question

Say I have the following snippet:

interface State {
  alarms: Alarm[];
}
export default class Alarms extends React.Component<{}, State> {
  state = {
    a         


        

Answer 1

Would

alarms: [] as Alarm[]

work for Typescript and for you ?
