How to allow an optional parameter to be null in TypeScript?

For instance, we write
const foo = (bar: string | null) => {
console.info(bar);
};
foo("Hello World!");
foo(null);
to let us call foo with the bar parameter set to a string or null with the string | null union type.
Then we call foo as we do above without any errors.
