This is going to be a really short one.
I'm just wondering what type I should use for jQuery elements?
Without jQuery I go on like this:
export class Modal {
constructor(protected element:HTMLElement) {
}
}
But, lets say element will be a jQuery selector like $('.myDiv') for example. What type should element then have?

The typeof operator when applied to the jQuery object returns the string "function" . Basically that does mean that jQuery is a function. But the typing sort of stops there.
A jQuery object is array-like which means that it contains zero or more indexes (properties which names are positive integers starting with zero). Besides those indexes, a jQuery object contains these properties: length. context. selector.
getElementById() in the JavaScript will return DOM object whereas $('#id') will return jQuery object.
After installing the types needed (npm install --save-dev @types/jquery), you can type it as just JQuery:
constructor(protected element: JQuery) {
}
