Explicit types

Reports a type annotation that doesn't match the current code style for explicit types.

Locating this inspection

By ID

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.

Via Settings dialog

Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.

Settings or Preferences | Editor | Inspections | JavaScript and TypeScript | TypeScript

Type declarations are not necessary when the type that is inferred from the context exactly matches the type annotation, for example:

var pi: number = 3.14

In some cases it is preferable to always have explicit types - this prevents accidental type changes and makes code more explicit.
