In the TypeScript universe, it’s all about what your data can do, not just its name. Welcome to the world of Structural Typing, often known as “Duck Typing.” ๐
With Structural Typing, TypeScript doesn’t get hung up on labels; it’s all about the structure:
You define two objects, one as “Person” and the other as “Employee,” each with similar properties. TypeScript doesn’t fuss over the names; it’s all about the shape:
These two objects, despite different names, work harmoniously because their structures align. ๐ฏ
So, when you craft functions or classes that work with types, TypeScript focuses on the shape of those types, not their labels. It’s akin to “if it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck!” ๐ฆ
This versatility empowers you to write code that’s more reusable and adaptable. It’s about defining how your data should look, not what it’s named. ๐
