Hi and thank you for subscribing to my new All Things Typescript newsletter, this weeks’ issue is dropping on a Monday as will all subsequent issues.
We had an eventful week last week with the highlight being the Type as comment syntax proposal from the Typescript Team being the highlight.
In this issue, I have curated a few interesting articles to help you in your journey of learning Typescript and added a few tweets that were notable and very educational. I hope you will enjoy this weeks’ issue and if you have any feedback, please get in touch with me on Twitter - @mwycliffe_dev or via email: [email protected]
Thank you.

A Proposal For Type Syntax in JavaScript - TypeScript
Today we’re excited to announce our support and collaboration on a new Stage 0 proposal to bring optional and erasable type syntax to JavaScript. Because this new syntax wouldn’t change how surrounding code runs, it would effectively act as comments. We think this has the potential to make TypeScript easier and faster to use for development at every scale.

This is the last of the commonly known interface modifying utility types. Do note there are a few more, but we’ll get to those in a later stage as they are a bit more advanced.

Bringing the type safety in your TypeScript projects to a whole new level. I can’t imagine starting a serious project using only plain old JavaScript. With all my respect to the de facto lingua franca of the web, I’ve been totally sold to TypeScript for several months now.

🔥 TypeScript Tip #7 🔥

🧑‍💻 Beginner/intermediate
💡 Generics

The looseness of Object.keys can be a real pain point when using TypeScript. Luckily, it's pretty simple to create a tighter version using generics and the keyof operator. https://t.co/pF26NHcBU4

TypeScript Tip 💡

TypeScript comes with a utility type, 'ReadonlyArray<T>'.

It's equivalent to 'Array<T>', but with all mutating methods removed.

In this way, you can make sure you don’t change your arrays after creation. https://t.co/TuavrtE1dz

🔥 TypeScript Tip #6 🔥

Type helpers change the game when it comes to types in your codebase. They help TypeScript infer more from your code - and make your types a lot more readable.

Here, I write my own PropsFrom helper to extract props from any React component. https://t.co/9VUwqDxgtJ

TypeScript Tip 💡

Use the utility type 'Record' to make an object indexable, instead of typing it out manually.

It's cleaner and becomes handy if you want to map the properties of one type to another. https://t.co/qrDrXeAmF2

As a follow on to yesterday’s post (inspired by @dagda1's question), what is the difference between using any[], unknown[] or never[] as constraints to the function rest parameter in #TypeScript ?
