How to use Inline Mapped Types with type In Typescript
You can define a mapped type inline using the type keyword in TypeScript. This allows you to specify the keys of a particular type directly within the type declaration.
Syntax:
type TypeName = { [KeyType]: ValueType };
Example: This TypeScript code defines a type MyObject allowing string keys with number values. It creates an object obj with properties assigned numeric values and logs it.
type MyObject = { [key: string]: number };
const obj: MyObject = {
a: 1,
b: 2,
c: 3
};
console.log(obj);
Output:
{
"a": 1,
"b": 2,
"c": 3
}
