+The `type` keyword is used to declare a _type_, including [Records](/docs/manual/latest/record), [Variants](/docs/manual/latest/variant) and [Polymorphic Variants](/docs/manual/latest/polymorphic-variant).
+
+### Example
+
+<CodeTab labels={["ReScript", "JS Output"]}>
+
+```res
+type location = {
+  name: string,
+  coordinates: (float, float),
+  keywords: array<string>,
+}
+
+let uluru: location = {
+  name: "Uluru",
+  coordinates: (-25.344490, 131.035431),
+  keywords: ["Rock", "Australia"],
+}
+```
+
+```js
+var uluru_coordinates = [-25.34449, 131.035431];
+
+var uluru_keywords = ["Rock", "Australia"];
+
+var uluru = {
+  name: "Uluru",
+  coordinates: uluru_coordinates,
+  keywords: uluru_keywords,
+};
