Advanced TypeScript Patterns for Large-Scale Applications
By Michael Chen•December 20, 2023
TypeScript's type system is powerful and flexible. For large-scale applications, leveraging advanced patterns can significantly improve code quality and maintainability.
## Generic Constraints
Use constraints to make generics more specific:
```typescript
function getProperty(obj: T, key: K): T[K] {
return obj[key];
}
```
## Conditional Types
Create types that depend on conditions:
```typescript
type IsString = T extends string ? true : false;
```
## Mapped Types
Transform existing types:
```typescript
type Readonly = {
readonly [P in keyof T]: T[P];
};
```
## Type Guards
Runtime type checking:
```typescript
function isString(value: unknown): value is string {
return typeof value === 'string';
}
```
## Utility Types
Leverage built-in utility types:
- Partial
- Required
- Pick
- Omit
- Record
## Discriminated Unions
Type-safe state management:
```typescript
type Result =
| { success: true; data: T }
| { success: false; error: string };
```
## Conclusion
These advanced patterns help you write more type-safe, maintainable code. Start incorporating them gradually into your projects and watch your code quality improve.
