Using spread syntax and new Set() with typescript

Question

I am using following code to get unique numbers:

let uniques = [ ...new Set([1, 2, 3, 1, 1]) ]; // [1, 2, 3]

However, typescript report following error: Type 'Set' is not an array type. I am not typescript ninja, could someone tell me what is wrong here?

Answer 1

This is a missing feature. TypeScript only supports iterables on Arrays at the moment.
