+## Declaring types for variables
+
+When declaring types for variables, you should only declare a type when it isn't obvious and the type can't be inferred.
+
+```
+// Do not use
+const someVar: string = 'string'
+
+// Use
+const someVar = 'string'
+```
+
+Do declare a type for an unassigned variable when a type can not be inferred.
+
+```
+const someVar: string
+```
