This post will look at Index Types in TypeScript. It will go over what they are and also touch on two type-operators related to them. These type operators are the index type query operator and indexed access operators.
This post is part of the Introduction to Advanced Types in TypeScript series. To better understand, it requires having some familiarity with Union Types, Generics, and Literal types. These are topics that have already been covered in the series.
This blog post will look at Indexable Types. It is part of the Introduction to Advanced Types in TypeScript series.
In JavaScript, there are values, from which additional values can be retrieved via an index. A natural example of such a value is an Array: For example, given the following array:
const primaryColors = ["red", "green", "blue"]The value primaryColors is an array value, and its individual content can be accessed by providing an index of type number:
console.log(primaryColors[0])
console.log(primaryColors[1])
console.log(primaryColors[2])
This blog post will look at some of the use cases of literal and template literal types in TypeScript. It is a continuation of Literal and Template Literal Types, which introduces the language feature and it is a part of the Introduction to Advanced Types in TypeScript series.
This post will look at the following use cases:

In the post, Union and Intersection Types in TypeScript, the idea of viewing types with the perspective of Set theory was introduced. The key idea is to see types more or less as sets, and values of a type as elements that belong to a set. If this idea of viewing types from the perspective of Set theory is new to you, then I’ll advise to take a pause and read Union and Intersection Types in TypeScript before continuing with the rest of the post, because it is a useful perspective to understand literal types.
