TypeScript tip: Avoid prefixing interfaces with "I"
TypeScript tip: Avoid prefixing interfaces with "I".
The "I" prefix is a C# convention, but not a TypeScript convention.
In TypeScript, prefixing with "I" isn't necessary, and it makes the code clumsier to read and write.
On rare occasions there can be a naming conflict.
In these rare cases, alias the interface when I import it:
import { User as UserType } from “./user”
Many good comments in this thread, so let me add a simple rule:
If you are using classes in TypeScript, keep the I prefix so you can do this:
class User extends IUser
Otherwise, you probably don't need the "I" prefix.
(I avoid class in TS. I prefer functional TS.)
