Link: Real-world uses of TypeScript’s utility types - Piccalilli I have a bit of love-hate relationship with TypeScript, but there are parts of the typescript Type system that I really like. This article from Piccalilli is a great introduction to TypeScript's utility types (which is one of the areas I like, even though it is a bit complex) Utility types are types that modify other types. You can think of them as functions, but they operate on types instead of values.
