type.Any

Like an identity function, type.Any is a TypeObject that allows any type of a value to be allowed without checking or coercion.

import { Reflect, type } from "can/everything";

let val = Reflect.convert(42, type.Any);
console.log(val); // -> 42

val = Reflect.convert(null, type.Any);
console.log(val); // -> null

val = Reflect.convert([], type.Any);
console.log(val); // -> []

val = Reflect.convert(new Date(), type.Any);
console.log(val); // Date()

type.Any returns the same instance as passed into convert so they are referentially identical.

import { Reflect, type } from "can/everything";

let today = new Date();

let val = Reflect.convert(today, type.Any);
console.log(val); // today
