Summary
In this chapter, we have explored the concepts of generics, including how TypeScript defines a specific syntax for generics, and how we can constrain generic types in certain circumstances. We then discussed how we can use generics with interfaces, and how to create new objects within generic code. The second section of this chapter explored advance type inference, starting with mapped types, and then moving on to conditional types. We discussed distributed conditional types, conditional type inference, and finally took a look at standard conditional types that are available to use with a standard TypeScript installation.
In the next chapter, we will explore asynchronous language features, and how we can use specific TypeScript language constructs to help with the asynchronous nature of JavaScript programming.
