- ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
11
- - ❌ Using `as any` to silence type errors -> ✅ Fix the type; `as any` hides bugs that crash at runtime
12
- - ❌ Using `interface` when `type` is needed (unions, mapped types) -> ✅ `type` for unions/intersections/mapped; `interface` for objects that may be extended
13
- - ❌ Overcomplicating types — if a type takes 30 seconds to read, simplify it -> ✅ Types serve the developer, not the other way around

20
-
21
- ## Generics with Constraints
22
-
23
- ```typescript
24
- // ✅ Constrained generics — T must have an id
25
- function findById<T extends { id: string }>(items: T[], id: string): T | undefined {
26
- return items.find((item) => item.id === id);
27
- }
28
-
29
- // ✅ Multiple constraints
30
- function merge<T extends object, U extends object>(a: T, b: U): T & U {
31
- return { ...a, ...b };
32
- }
33
-
34
- // ✅ keyof constraint — K must be a key of T
35
- function getProperty<T, K extends keyof T>(obj: T, key: K): T[K] {
36
- return obj[key];
37
- }
38
-
39
- const user = { name: "Alice", age: 30 };
40
- const name = getProperty(user, "name"); // type: string
41
- const age = getProperty(user, "age"); // type: number
42
- // getProperty(user, "email"); // ❌ Compile error — "email" not in keyof
43
-
44
- // ✅ Default generic parameters
45
- function createState<T = string>(initial: T): { value: T; set: (v: T) => void } {
46
- let value = initial;
47
- return { value, set: (v) => { value = v; } };
48
- }
49
- ```
50
-
51
- ---
52
-
53
- ## Discriminated Unions (The Most Useful Pattern)
54
-
55
- ```typescript
56
- // ✅ Tagged unions — TypeScript narrows automatically
57
- type Result<T, E = Error> =
58
- | { success: true; data: T }
59
- | { success: false; error: E };
60
-
61
- function divide(a: number, b: number): Result<number, string> {
62
- if (b === 0) return { success: false, error: "Division by zero" };
63
- return { success: true, data: a / b };
64
- }
65
-
66
- const result = divide(10, 3);
67
- if (result.success) {
68
- console.log(result.data); // TypeScript KNOWS data exists
69
- } else {
70
- console.log(result.error); // TypeScript KNOWS error exists
71
- }
72
-
73
- // ✅ State machines with discriminated unions
74
- type RequestState<T> =
75
- | { status: "idle" }
76
- | { status: "loading" }
77
- | { status: "success"; data: T }
78
- | { status: "error"; error: Error };
79
-
80
- function renderUser(state: RequestState<User>) {
81
- switch (state.status) {
82
- case "idle": return <p>Click to load</p>;
83
- case "loading": return <Spinner />;
84
- case "success": return <UserCard user={state.data} />;
85
- case "error": return <ErrorBanner error={state.error} />;
86
- }
87
- }
88
- // ✅ TypeScript ensures ALL cases are handled (exhaustive checking)
89
- ```
90
-
91
- ---
92
-
93
- ## Conditional Types
94
-
95
- ```typescript
96
- // ✅ Type-level if/else
97
- type IsString<T> = T extends string ? true : false;
98
-
99
- type A = IsString<"hello">; // true
100
- type B = IsString<42>; // false
101
-
102
- // ✅ Extract return type of async functions
103
- type UnwrapPromise<T> = T extends Promise<infer U> ? U : T;
104
-
105
- type UserData = UnwrapPromise<Promise<{ name: string }>>;
106
- // → { name: string }
107
-
108
- // ✅ Practical: API response type extraction
109
- type ApiResponse<T> = T extends (...args: any[]) => Promise<infer R> ? R : never;
110
-
111
- declare function getUsers(): Promise<User[]>;
112
- type Users = ApiResponse<typeof getUsers>; // User[]
113
-
114
- // ✅ Distributive conditional types
115
- type NonNullable<T> = T extends null | undefined ? never : T;
116
-
117
- type Clean = NonNullable<string | null | undefined>; // string
118
- ```
119
-
120
- ---
121
-
122
- ## Mapped Types
123
-
124
- ```typescript
125
- // ✅ Transform every property of a type
126
- type Readonly<T> = { readonly [K in keyof T]: T[K] };
127
- type Partial<T> = { [K in keyof T]?: T[K] };
128
- type Required<T> = { [K in keyof T]-?: T[K] };
129
-
130
- // ✅ Practical: Create a "form touched" state
131
- type TouchedFields<T> = { [K in keyof T]: boolean };
132
-
133
- interface LoginForm {
134
- email: string;
135
- password: string;
136
- }
137
-
138
- type LoginTouched = TouchedFields<LoginForm>;
139
- // → { email: boolean; password: boolean }
140
-
141
- // ✅ Key remapping with `as`
142
- type Getters<T> = {
143
- [K in keyof T as `get${Capitalize<string & K>}`]: () => T[K];
144
- };
145
-
146
- type UserGetters = Getters<{ name: string; age: number }>;
147
- // → { getName: () => string; getAge: () => number }
148
-
149
- // ✅ Filter keys by value type
150
- type StringKeys<T> = {
151
- [K in keyof T as T[K] extends string ? K : never]: T[K];
152
- };
153
-
154
- type OnlyStrings = StringKeys<{ name: string; age: number; email: string }>;
155
- // → { name: string; email: string }
156
- ```
157
-
158
- ---
159
-
160
- ## Template Literal Types
161
-
162
- ```typescript
163
- // ✅ Type-safe string patterns
164
- type HTTPMethod = "GET" | "POST" | "PUT" | "DELETE";
165
- type APIRoute = `/api/${string}`;
166
- type EventName = `on${Capitalize<string>}`;
167
-
168
- // ✅ Practical: CSS unit types
169
- type CSSUnit = "px" | "rem" | "em" | "vh" | "vw" | "%";
170
- type CSSValue = `${number}${CSSUnit}`;
171
-
172
- const width: CSSValue = "100px"; // ✅
173
- // const bad: CSSValue = "100"; // ❌ Compile error
174
-
175
- // ✅ Route parameter extraction
176
- type ExtractParams<T extends string> =
177
- T extends `${string}:${infer Param}/${infer Rest}`
178
- ? Param | ExtractParams<Rest>
179
- : T extends `${string}:${infer Param}`
180
- ? Param
181
- : never;
182
-
183
- type UserRouteParams = ExtractParams<"/users/:userId/posts/:postId">;
184
- // → "userId" | "postId"
185
- ```
186
-
187
- ---
188
-
189
- ## The `satisfies` Operator (TS 5.0+)
190
-
191
- ```typescript
192
- // ✅ satisfies checks the type WITHOUT widening it
193
- type ColorMap = Record<string, [number, number, number] | string>;
194
-
195
- // With `as` — loses specificity
196
- const colorsAs = {
197
- red: [255, 0, 0],
198
- green: "#00ff00",
199
- } as ColorMap;
200
- colorsAs.red.map(x => x); // ❌ Error: string | number[] has no .map
201
-
202
- // With `satisfies` — keeps literal types
203
- const colors = {
204
- red: [255, 0, 0],
205
- green: "#00ff00",
206
- } satisfies ColorMap;
207
- colors.red.map(x => x); // ✅ TypeScript knows it's a tuple
208
- colors.green.toUpperCase(); // ✅ TypeScript knows it's a string
209
- ```
210
-
211
- ---
212
-
213
- ## Branded / Nominal Types
214
-
215
- ```typescript
216
- // ✅ Prevent accidental mixing of same-shaped types
217
- type UserId = string & { readonly __brand: "UserId" };
218
- type OrderId = string & { readonly __brand: "OrderId" };
219
-
220
- function createUserId(id: string): UserId { return id as UserId; }
221
- function createOrderId(id: string): OrderId { return id as OrderId; }
222
-
223
- function getUser(id: UserId): Promise<User> { ... }
224
-
225
- const userId = createUserId("user_123");
226
- const orderId = createOrderId("order_456");
227
-
228
- getUser(userId); // ✅ Correct
229
- // getUser(orderId); // ❌ Compile error — OrderId is not UserId
230
-
231
- // ✅ Branded number types
232
- type Cents = number & { readonly __brand: "Cents" };
233
- type Dollars = number & { readonly __brand: "Dollars" };
234
-
235
- function centsToDollars(cents: Cents): Dollars {
236
- return (cents / 100) as Dollars;
237
- }
238
- ```
239
-
240
- ---
241
-
242
- ## Utility Types (Know the Built-ins)
243
-
244
- ```typescript
245
- // Don't reimplement what TypeScript provides
246
-
247
- Pick<T, K> // Select specific keys
248
- Omit<T, K> // Remove specific keys
249
- Partial<T> // All properties optional
250
- Required<T> // All properties required
251
- Readonly<T> // All properties readonly
252
- Record<K, V> // Object with keys K and values V
253
- Extract<T, U> // Members of T assignable to U
254
- Exclude<T, U> // Members of T NOT assignable to U
255
- NonNullable<T> // Remove null and undefined
256
- ReturnType<T> // Return type of a function
257
- Parameters<T> // Parameter types of a function as tuple
258
- Awaited<T> // Unwrap Promise<T> recursively
259
- ```
260
-
261
- ---
262
-
263
- ## Anti-Patterns
264
-
265
- ```
266
- ❌ `as any` — hides runtime crashes. Fix the type or use `as unknown as T` with a comment.
267
- ❌ `// @ts-ignore` — use `// @ts-expect-error` with a reason comment instead.
268
- ❌ `interface` for unions — interfaces can't express `A | B`. Use `type`.
269
- ❌ Overusing generics — if <T> is only used once, you probably don't need it.
270
- ❌ `enum` for new code — use `as const` objects or union types instead.
271
- ❌ Type assertions in tests — use proper type guards or schema validation.
272
- ❌ `!` (non-null assertion) — it's a lie. Use optional chaining or narrowing.
273
- ```
274
-
275
- ```typescript
276
- // ❌ BAD: Non-null assertion
277
- const element = document.getElementById("app")!;
278
-
279
- // ✅ GOOD: Narrowing
280
- const element = document.getElementById("app");
281
- if (!element) throw new Error("Missing #app element");
282
- // element is now guaranteed non-null
283
- ```

10
+ ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
11
+ - ❌ Using `as any` to silence type errors -> ✅ Fix the type; `as any` hides bugs that crash at runtime
12
+ - ❌ Using `interface` when `type` is needed (unions, mapped types) -> ✅ `type` for unions/intersections/mapped; `interface` for objects that may be extended
13
+ - ❌ Overcomplicating types — if a type takes 30 seconds to read, simplify it -> ✅ Types serve the developer, not the other way around

21
+ ## Generics with Constraints
22
+
23
+ ```typescript
24
+ // ✅ Constrained generics — T must have an id
25
+ function findById<T extends { id: string }>(items: T[], id: string): T | undefined {
26
+ return items.find((item) => item.id === id);
27
+ }
28
+
29
+ // ✅ Multiple constraints
30
+ function merge<T extends object, U extends object>(a: T, b: U): T & U {
31
+ return { ...a, ...b };
32
+ }
33
+
34
+ // ✅ keyof constraint — K must be a key of T
35
+ function getProperty<T, K extends keyof T>(obj: T, key: K): T[K] {
36
+ return obj[key];
37
+ }
38
+
39
+ const user = { name: "Alice", age: 30 };
40
+ const name = getProperty(user, "name"); // type: string
41
+ const age = getProperty(user, "age"); // type: number
42
+ // getProperty(user, "email"); // ❌ Compile error — "email" not in keyof
43
+
44
+ // ✅ Default generic parameters
45
+ function createState<T = string>(initial: T): { value: T; set: (v: T) => void } {
46
+ let value = initial;
47
+ return { value, set: (v) => { value = v; } };
48
+ }
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ ---
52
+
53
+ ## Discriminated Unions (The Most Useful Pattern)
54
+
55
+ ```typescript
56
+ // ✅ Tagged unions — TypeScript narrows automatically
57
+ type Result<T, E = Error> =
58
+ | { success: true; data: T }
59
+ | { success: false; error: E };
60
+
61
+ function divide(a: number, b: number): Result<number, string> {
62
+ if (b === 0) return { success: false, error: "Division by zero" };
63
+ return { success: true, data: a / b };
64
+ }
65
+
66
+ const result = divide(10, 3);
67
+ if (result.success) {
68
+ console.log(result.data); // TypeScript KNOWS data exists
69
+ } else {
70
+ console.log(result.error); // TypeScript KNOWS error exists
71
+ }
72
+
73
+ // ✅ State machines with discriminated unions
74
+ type RequestState<T> =
75
+ | { status: "idle" }
76
+ | { status: "loading" }
77
+ | { status: "success"; data: T }
78
+ | { status: "error"; error: Error };
79
+
80
+ function renderUser(state: RequestState<User>) {
81
+ switch (state.status) {
82
+ case "idle": return <p>Click to load</p>;
83
+ case "loading": return <Spinner />;
84
+ case "success": return <UserCard user={state.data} />;
85
+ case "error": return <ErrorBanner error={state.error} />;
86
+ }
87
+ }
88
+ // ✅ TypeScript ensures ALL cases are handled (exhaustive checking)
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ ---
92
+
93
+ ## Conditional Types
94
+
95
+ ```typescript
96
+ // ✅ Type-level if/else
97
+ type IsString<T> = T extends string ? true : false;
98
+
99
+ type A = IsString<"hello">; // true
100
+ type B = IsString<42>; // false
101
+
102
+ // ✅ Extract return type of async functions
103
+ type UnwrapPromise<T> = T extends Promise<infer U> ? U : T;
104
+
105
+ type UserData = UnwrapPromise<Promise<{ name: string }>>;
106
+ // → { name: string }
107
+
108
+ // ✅ Practical: API response type extraction
109
+ type ApiResponse<T> = T extends (...args: any[]) => Promise<infer R> ? R : never;
110
+
111
+ declare function getUsers(): Promise<User[]>;
112
+ type Users = ApiResponse<typeof getUsers>; // User[]
113
+
114
+ // ✅ Distributive conditional types
115
+ type NonNullable<T> = T extends null | undefined ? never : T;
116
+
117
+ type Clean = NonNullable<string | null | undefined>; // string
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ ---
121
+
122
+ ## Mapped Types
123
+
124
+ ```typescript
125
+ // ✅ Transform every property of a type
126
+ type Readonly<T> = { readonly [K in keyof T]: T[K] };
127
+ type Partial<T> = { [K in keyof T]?: T[K] };
128
+ type Required<T> = { [K in keyof T]-?: T[K] };
129
+
130
+ // ✅ Practical: Create a "form touched" state
131
+ type TouchedFields<T> = { [K in keyof T]: boolean };
132
+
133
+ interface LoginForm {
134
+ email: string;
135
+ password: string;
136
+ }
137
+
138
+ type LoginTouched = TouchedFields<LoginForm>;
139
+ // → { email: boolean; password: boolean }
140
+
141
+ // ✅ Key remapping with `as`
142
+ type Getters<T> = {
143
+ [K in keyof T as `get${Capitalize<string & K>}`]: () => T[K];
144
+ };
145
+
146
+ type UserGetters = Getters<{ name: string; age: number }>;
147
+ // → { getName: () => string; getAge: () => number }
148
+
149
+ // ✅ Filter keys by value type
150
+ type StringKeys<T> = {
151
+ [K in keyof T as T[K] extends string ? K : never]: T[K];
152
+ };
153
+
154
+ type OnlyStrings = StringKeys<{ name: string; age: number; email: string }>;
155
+ // → { name: string; email: string }
156
+ ```
157
+
158
+ ---
159
+
160
+ ## Template Literal Types
161
+
162
+ ```typescript
163
+ // ✅ Type-safe string patterns
164
+ type HTTPMethod = "GET" | "POST" | "PUT" | "DELETE";
165
+ type APIRoute = `/api/${string}`;
166
+ type EventName = `on${Capitalize<string>}`;
167
+
168
+ // ✅ Practical: CSS unit types
169
+ type CSSUnit = "px" | "rem" | "em" | "vh" | "vw" | "%";
170
+ type CSSValue = `${number}${CSSUnit}`;
171
+
172
+ const width: CSSValue = "100px"; // ✅
173
+ // const bad: CSSValue = "100"; // ❌ Compile error
174
+
175
+ // ✅ Route parameter extraction
176
+ type ExtractParams<T extends string> =
177
+ T extends `${string}:${infer Param}/${infer Rest}`
178
+ ? Param | ExtractParams<Rest>
179
+ : T extends `${string}:${infer Param}`
180
+ ? Param
181
+ : never;
182
+
183
+ type UserRouteParams = ExtractParams<"/users/:userId/posts/:postId">;
184
+ // → "userId" | "postId"
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ ---
188
+
189
+ ## The `satisfies` Operator (TS 5.0+)
190
+
191
+ ```typescript
192
+ // ✅ satisfies checks the type WITHOUT widening it
193
+ type ColorMap = Record<string, [number, number, number] | string>;
194
+
195
+ // With `as` — loses specificity
196
+ const colorsAs = {
197
+ red: [255, 0, 0],
198
+ green: "#00ff00",
199
+ } as ColorMap;
200
+ colorsAs.red.map(x => x); // ❌ Error: string | number[] has no .map
201
+
202
+ // With `satisfies` — keeps literal types
203
+ const colors = {
204
+ red: [255, 0, 0],
205
+ green: "#00ff00",
206
+ } satisfies ColorMap;
207
+ colors.red.map(x => x); // ✅ TypeScript knows it's a tuple
208
+ colors.green.toUpperCase(); // ✅ TypeScript knows it's a string
209
+ ```
210
+
211
+ ---
212
+
213
+ ## Branded / Nominal Types
214
+
215
+ ```typescript
216
+ // ✅ Prevent accidental mixing of same-shaped types
217
+ type UserId = string & { readonly __brand: "UserId" };
218
+ type OrderId = string & { readonly __brand: "OrderId" };
219
+
220
+ function createUserId(id: string): UserId { return id as UserId; }
221
+ function createOrderId(id: string): OrderId { return id as OrderId; }
222
+
223
+ function getUser(id: UserId): Promise<User> { ... }
224
+
225
+ const userId = createUserId("user_123");
226
+ const orderId = createOrderId("order_456");
227
+
228
+ getUser(userId); // ✅ Correct
229
+ // getUser(orderId); // ❌ Compile error — OrderId is not UserId
230
+
231
+ // ✅ Branded number types
232
+ type Cents = number & { readonly __brand: "Cents" };
233
+ type Dollars = number & { readonly __brand: "Dollars" };
234
+
235
+ function centsToDollars(cents: Cents): Dollars {
236
+ return (cents / 100) as Dollars;
237
+ }
238
+ ```
239
+
240
+ ---
241
+
242
+ ## Utility Types (Know the Built-ins)
243
+
244
+ ```typescript
245
+ // Don't reimplement what TypeScript provides
246
+
247
+ Pick<T, K> // Select specific keys
248
+ Omit<T, K> // Remove specific keys
249
+ Partial<T> // All properties optional
250
+ Required<T> // All properties required
251
+ Readonly<T> // All properties readonly
252
+ Record<K, V> // Object with keys K and values V
253
+ Extract<T, U> // Members of T assignable to U
254
+ Exclude<T, U> // Members of T NOT assignable to U
255
+ NonNullable<T> // Remove null and undefined
256
+ ReturnType<T> // Return type of a function
257
+ Parameters<T> // Parameter types of a function as tuple
258
+ Awaited<T> // Unwrap Promise<T> recursively
259
+ ```
260
+
261
+ ---
262
+
263
+ ## Anti-Patterns
264
+
265
+ ```
266
+ ❌ `as any` — hides runtime crashes. Fix the type or use `as unknown as T` with a comment.
267
+ ❌ `// @ts-ignore` — use `// @ts-expect-error` with a reason comment instead.
268
+ ❌ `interface` for unions — interfaces can't express `A | B`. Use `type`.
269
+ ❌ Overusing generics — if <T> is only used once, you probably don't need it.
270
+ ❌ `enum` for new code — use `as const` objects or union types instead.
271
+ ❌ Type assertions in tests — use proper type guards or schema validation.
272
+ ❌ `!` (non-null assertion) — it's a lie. Use optional chaining or narrowing.
273
+ ```
274
+
275
+ ```typescript
276
+ // ❌ BAD: Non-null assertion
277
+ const element = document.getElementById("app")!;
278
+
279
+ // ✅ GOOD: Narrowing
280
+ const element = document.getElementById("app");
281
+ if (!element) throw new Error("Missing #app element");
282
+ // element is now guaranteed non-null
283
+ ```
