# Introduction
[TypeScript's](20200929161126-typescript) type system allows you to mark
individual properties on [interfaces](20200929162220-interfaces),
[types](20200929163825-typescript_type_alias) and
[class](20201009104411-typescript_classes) properties as `readonly`.
# Examples
## interface
``` typescript
function foo(config: {
readonly bar: number,
readonly bas: number}) {// ..
}
let config = { bar: 123, bas: 123 };
foo(config);
// You can be sure that `config` isn't changed 🌹
```
## type
``` typescript
type Foo = {
readonly bar: number;
readonly bas: number;
}
// Initialization is okay
let foo: Foo = { bar: 123, bas: 456 };
// Mutation is not
foo.bar = 456; // Error: Left-hand side of assignment expression cannot be a constant or a read-only property
```
## class property
``` typescript
class Foo {
readonly bar = 1; // OK
readonly baz: string;
constructor() {
this.baz = "hello"; // OK
}
}
```
``` typescript
type Foo = {
bar: number;
bas: number;
}
type FooReadonly = Readonly<Foo>;
let foo: Foo = {bar: 123, bas: 456};
let fooReadonly: FooReadonly = {bar: 123, bas: 456};
foo.bar = 456; // Okay
fooReadonly.bar = 456; // ERROR: bar is readonly
```
