Break Type Operators
π¨βπΌ You've mastered TypeScript's type operators!
You learned:
- π
keyofextracts property keys as a union - π
typeofextracts types from values - π Index access gets property types with
T['prop'] - π
as constpreserves literal types
π¦ These operators combine powerfully:
const routes = {
home: '/',
about: '/about',
users: '/users',
} as const
type RouteKey = keyof typeof routes // 'home' | 'about' | 'users'
type RoutePath = (typeof routes)[RouteKey] // '/' | '/about' | '/users'
This pattern is used everywhere: configuration objects, event maps, action
types, and more.
