Break Utility Types
π¨βπΌ Excellent! You've mastered TypeScript's utility types.
You learned:
- π§ Partial - Making properties optional
- π― Pick - Selecting specific properties
- π Record - Creating key-value types
- π Readonly - Making properties immutable
- 𧩠Composition - Combining utility types
- πΊοΈ Mapped Types - Creating custom utilities
π¦ Utility types are composable. You can combine them:
type UserUpdate = Partial<Pick<User, 'name' | 'email'>>
// Makes only name and email optional
This pattern is common in APIs where you want to update specific fields.
Next up: Conditional types!
