Can I use Typescript 2.4.2 with Ionic 3.8.0

Simple question,

Can I use Typescript 2.4.2 with Ionic 3.8.0 ?

I pose the question because the enumerations with value of type string are supported only as of version 2.4.2.

enum Direction {
    Up = "UP",
    Down = "DOWN",
    Left = "LEFT",
    Right = "RIGHT",
}

Honestly I’m not sure.

You could always try it and then report back, or upgrade to Ionic 3.9 which uses that version of TS.
