Anti-pattern: (JS-0323) Detected usage of the any type

[maleksal]

Description

The any type can sometimes leak into your codebase. TypeScript compiler skips the type checking of the any typed variables, so it creates a potential safety hole, and source of bugs in your codebase. We recommend using unknown or never type variable.

Hello, I forked the repo to resolve this issue, but leadminer/backend/src/utils/helpers/validation.ts produces errors when the type of value changes from any to unknown or never. The function would need to be changed to replace the any type for value. If you have an alternative solution, however, I can quickly make the change and submit the pull request.
