TypeScript tip: Consider generating types
TypeScript tip: Consider generating types.
Example: I have a component library with 100 components. I want a union type that contains all the component names.
So, I:
1. Read the /components folder with Node.
2. Write each component's name to a union.
#typescript
In this case, I want a union type for each component.
Why?
✅I can safely reference a given component by name
✅I get autocomplete support
The union is generated each time I start the app. So, I don't have to manually maintain the type. 👍
