Break Type Aliases
π¨βπΌ Excellent! You now know how to create reusable type aliases.
You learned:
- π Naming types makes code self-documenting
- β»οΈ Reusing types eliminates repetition
- 𧩠Composing types builds complex from simple
- π§° Record types model lookup tables and fixed-key objects
- π Any type can have an alias, not just objects
π¦ A common pattern is to create a "types" file for shared types:
// types.ts
export type User = { ... }
export type Product = { ... }
export type Order = { ... }
This keeps types organized and easy to import where needed.
