TypeScript Tips for Better Code

# TypeScript Tips for Better Code

TypeScript has become an essential tool for modern web development. Here are some tips to help you write better TypeScript code.

Use Type Inference

Let TypeScript infer types when it's obvious. Don't over-annotate - the compiler is smart enough to figure out many types on its own.

Embrace Union Types

Union types are one of TypeScript's most powerful features. Use them to represent values that can be one of several types.

Utility Types

TypeScript includes many built-in utility types like Partial, Pick, Omit, and Record. Learn to use them effectively.

Strict Mode

Always enable strict mode in your tsconfig.json. It catches many common errors and enforces best practices.

These patterns will help you write code that's both type-safe and maintainable.
