TECH INSIGHTS
TypeScript offers powerful type system features that can help you write more robust code. Let's explore some advanced patterns.
Generic Constraints
typescript
interface Lengthwise {
length: number;
}
function loggingIdentity<T extends Lengthwise>(arg: T): T {
console.log(arg.length);
return arg;
}
Mapped Types
typescript
type Readonly<T> = {
readonly [P in keyof T]: T[P];
};
type Partial<T> = {
[P in keyof T]?: T[P];
};
Conditional Types
typescript
type NonNullable<T> = T extends null | undefined ? never : T;
type ExtractArrayType<T> = T extends (infer U)[] ? U : never;
These patterns help create more flexible and type-safe APIs.
