Creating Reusable Type Aliases

Snippet

Type aliases allow you to create a new name for a type. They are similar to interfaces but can also represent primitive types or complex structures.

snippet.ts
typescript
type Point = {
  x: number;
  y: number;
};
 
const origin: Point = { x: 0, y: 0 };
const target: Point = { x: 10, y: 20 };

Breakdown

type Point = { ... }

Creates a type alias named Point for an object with x and y coordinates.

const origin: Point

Uses the Point alias to ensure the object follows the predefined coordinate structure.
