In general I'm against the use of the any type in TypeScript. If you don't know the type then unknown is a better fit as it forces the user to determine the type. The any type simply bypasses all the type features of TypeScript.

That said, in any of my comments where I suggest code changes and I use the unknown type, I'm perfectly OK with you using the any type instead: it's your library.

Other than those bits of being informative, I like the change and it's a definite improvement.

While valid, there's also the following types that may express your intent better, or not:

  • { [key: PropertyKey]: unknown }
  • Record<string, unknown>
  • Record<PropertyKey, unknown> - this one's my preference.

Ditto for the other places where you use an index notation.
