Common TypeScript Interview Questions

Q: What's the difference between 'interface' and 'type' in TypeScript?

A: Both can define object shapes, but interfaces can be extended and merged (declaration merging), while type aliases are more flexible for unions, intersections, and primitives. Use interface for object shapes that might be extended, and type for unions, mapped types, or when you need more complex type operations.

Q: Explain type narrowing and type guards in TypeScript

A: Type narrowing is when TypeScript refines a broader type to a more specific one based on conditional checks. Type guards are expressions that perform runtime checks to narrow types. Built-in guards include typeof, instanceof, and 'in' operator. Custom type guards use 'is' syntax: function isString(value: unknown): value is string { return typeof value === 'string'; }

Q: What are utility types and name some common ones?

A: Utility types are built-in generic types that transform existing types. Common ones: Partial<T> makes all properties optional, Required<T> makes all required, Pick<T, K> selects specific properties, Omit<T, K> excludes properties, Record<K, V> creates object type with specific keys and values, ReturnType<T> extracts function return type.

Q: How do generics work in TypeScript?

A: Generics allow you to write reusable code that works with multiple types. They're like type parameters: function identity<T>(arg: T): T { return arg; }. You can add constraints with extends: <T extends { length: number }>, use multiple type parameters, and create generic classes and interfaces.
