  • TypeScript is like adding labels to your data so mistakes are caught early.
  • Unions help you describe real UI states like loading, success, or error.
  • Generics help one reusable function or hook work safely with many data shapes.

What this local pack helps you answer

Props typing, unions, narrowing, generics, API models, and writing safer component contracts.

Why this matters for your profile

Key takeaways

Local study notes

  • Use unions to model real UI states like loading, success, and error more safely.
  • Narrowing is critical when working with API data, optional values, and DOM event targets.
  • Generics matter most in reusable hooks, list components, and typed utility helpers.
  • Good types improve refactoring confidence and reduce integration mistakes between teams.
Interview angles

How to use it in answers
