## The `$any` type cast function (`$any( <expression> )`)
### The `$any()` type cast function
Sometimes a binding expression will be reported as a type error and it is not possible or difficult
to fully specify the type. To silence the error, you can use the `$any` cast function to cast
the expression to [the `any` type](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html#any).
Sometimes a binding expression triggers a type error during [AOT compilation](guide/aot-compiler) and it is not possible or difficult
to fully specify the type. To silence the error, you can use the `$any()` cast function to cast
the expression to [the `any` type](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html#any) as in the following example:
<code-example path="template-syntax/src/app/app.component.html" region="any-type-cast-function-1" header="src/app/app.component.html" linenums="false">
<code-example path="built-in-template-functions/src/app/app.component.html" region="any-type-cast-function-1" header="src/app/app.component.html" linenums="false">
</code-example>
In this example, when the Angular compiler turns your template into TypeScript code,
it prevents TypeScript from reporting that `marker` is not a member of the `Hero`
interface.
When the Angular compiler turns this template into TypeScript code,
it prevents TypeScript from reporting that `bestByDate` is not a member of the `item`
object when it runs type checking on the template.
The `$any` cast function can be used in conjunction with `this` to allow access to undeclared members of
The `$any()` cast function also works with `this` to allow access to undeclared members of
the component.
<code-example path="template-syntax/src/app/app.component.html" region="any-type-cast-function-2" header="src/app/app.component.html" linenums="false">
<code-example path="built-in-template-functions/src/app/app.component.html" region="any-type-cast-function-2" header="src/app/app.component.html" linenums="false">
</code-example>
The `$any` cast function can be used anywhere in a binding expression where a method call is valid.
## Summary
You've completed this survey of template syntax.
Now it's time to put that knowledge to work on your own components and directives.
The `$any()` cast function works anywhere in a binding expression where a method call is valid.
