Update
As mentioned in @Simon_Weaver’s answer, since TypeScript version 3.4 it’s possible to assert it to const

let fruit = "Banana" as const;

export type Fruit = "Orange" | "Apple" | "Banana";
let myString: string = "Banana";
let myFruit: Fruit = myString as Fruit;
Also notice that when using string literals you need to use only one |
