TypeScript and TSX

Same as: @typescript-eslint/prefer-as-const

Enforce the use of as const over literal type and type annotation.

In TypeScript, there are three common ways to specify that a value is of a specific type such as 2 and not a general type such as number:

as const: telling TypeScript to infer the literal type automatically
as <literal>: explicitly telling the literal type to TypeScript
type annotation: explicitly telling the literal type to TypeScript when declare variables

The rule suggests to use as const when you’re using as with a literal type or type annotation, since as const is simpler and doesn’t require retyping the value.
