Modern TypeScript standards for type safety and maintainability. Use when working with types, interfaces, generics, enums, unions, or tsconfig settings. (triggers: **/*.ts, **/*.tsx, tsconfig.json, type, interface, generic, enum, union, intersection, readonly, const, namespace)

TypeScript Language Patterns

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Implementation Guidelines

  • Type Annotations: Explicit params/returns. Infer locals.
  • Interfaces vs Types: interface for APIs. type for unions.
  • Strict Mode: strict: true. Null Safety: ?. and ??.
  • Enums: Literal unions or as const. No runtime enum.
  • Generics: Reusable, type-safe code.
  • Type Guards: typeof, instanceof, predicates.
  • Utility Types: Partial, Pick, Omit, Record.
  • Immutability: readonly arrays/objects. Const Assertions: as const, satisfies.
  • Template Literals: on${Capitalize<string>}.
  • Discriminated Unions: Literal kind property.
  • Advanced: Mapped, Conditional, Indexed types.
  • Access: Default public. Use private/protected or #private.
  • Branded Types: string & { __brand: 'Id' }.

Anti-Patterns

  • No any: NEVER use any. Use unknown or specific interfaces.
  • No Function: Use signature () => void.
  • No enum: Runtime cost.
  • No !: Use narrowing.
  • NO LINT DISABLE: PROHIBITED. Fix issues properly.

Testing

  • Mocking: Use jest.Mocked<T> or as unknown as T.
  • Checklist: Check method existence, match error constants, satisfy required properties.
  • References: See references/TESTING.md for common issues/solutions.

Code

// Branded Type
type UserId = string & { __brand: 'Id' };

// Satisfies (Validate + Infer)
const cfg = { port: 3000 } satisfies Record<string, number>;

// Discriminated Union
type Result<T> = { kind: 'ok'; data: T } | { kind: 'err'; error: Error };
