Identifiers

Identifiers are used to name models, enums, properties, and other entities in TypeSpec. An identifier is a sequence of one or more characters that must start with a letter, emoji, underscore, or dollar sign, and be followed by letters, numbers, emoji, underscores, or dollar signs. TypeSpec implements UAX31-R1b stable identifiers with the emoji profile.

Examples:

  • ✅ cat
  • ✅ Dog
  • ✅ _Item2
  • ✅ $money$
  • ✅ 🎉
  • ✅ 🚀
  • ❌ 1cat
  • ❌ *dog

Reserved identifiers​

All keywords are reserved identifiers in TypeSpec. However they can still be used when escaping with wrapping with ``` characters.
