Working with advanced types
Our exploration into TypeScript does not end with basic types. TypeScript offers more advanced ways to model types and you will encounter them quite often in production code. By learning what they are and how they work, you can combine them to produce more accurate transformations. Let's start by learning about some common utility types.
Using utility types
When you define the TypeScript compilation target, for example, ES5, ES6, and so on, then the compiler includes a relevant global definition file with an identical name, for example, lib.es5.d.ts or lib.es6.d.ts. Those files contain common utility types for you to use in your applications. We will now explore the most significant utilities and how to put them into practical use:
Record: If you want to define an object type that contains property keys taken from a specific type and values from another, you should useRecord. A common use case is when you want to declare configuration...
