In TypeScript, interfaces and types are often interchangeable. But these are 6 features that only work with a type alias. Clip from "TypeScript: Getting Started" on Dometrain

Types are great. I do not see any reason to use interfaces - they have less use cases and brings risk of accidental declaration merging to codebase.

Seriously most of what I know about typescript I learned from you and @mattpocockuk

@mattpocockuk Thanks! And yep Matt is a fantastic teacher

The thing I hate about TS is that is lots of programming time that is not programming that significantly moves the needle forward. I hope @typescript team will add auto-typing in Phase 3 of their GoLang transition, or some AI wiz makes a small locally hostable model to do this.

@typescript I find adding types takes little time and tends to “flow” through the code once I’ve delivered the type once. Often mainly need types for the json fetched from APIs

Thanks!

That's why I only use types. There is also interfaces merging that can be misleading

Great tips for such commons workarounds while working with TS!
