Is there a type for “Class” in Typescript? And does “any” include it?

by

The equivalent for what you’re asking in typescript is the type { new(): Class }, for example:

class A {}

function create(ctor: { new(): A }): A {
    return new ctor();
}

let a = create(A); // a is instanceof A

(code in playground)

The code above will allow only classes whose constructor has no argument. If you want any class, use new (...args: any[]) => Class
