In the TypeScript universe, itโs all about what your data can do, not just its name. Welcome to the world of Structural Typing, often known as โDuck Typing.โ ๐
With Structural Typing, TypeScript doesnโt get hung up on labels; itโs all about the structure:
You define two objects, one as โPersonโ and the other as โEmployee,โ each with similar properties. TypeScript doesnโt fuss over the names; itโs all about the shape:
These two objects, despite different names, work harmoniously because their structures align. ๐ฏ
So, when you craft functions or classes that work with types, TypeScript focuses on the shape of those types, not their labels. Itโs akin to โif it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, itโs a duck!โ ๐ฆ
This versatility empowers you to write code thatโs more reusable and adaptable. Itโs about defining how your data should look, not what itโs named. ๐
