By understanding these constructs and how they work together, you can create more precise and robust type representations. In the subsequent sections, let’s review some commonly used utility types that are available out of the box.
When you configure the TypeScript compilation target (e.g., ES5, ES6), the compiler automatically includes a corresponding global definition file (such as lib.es5.d.ts or lib.es6.d.ts). These files provide a wealth of pre-defined utility types for your projects.
