Phase 7 · TypeScript
TopicsGenerics
Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.
Summary
Reusable, type-safe components and functions that work with a variety of types instead of a single one, using type parameters like `<T>`.
How to Learn This
- 1Write a generic `identity<T>(value: T): T` function and call it with different types.
- 2Build a generic `useLocalStorage<T>` hook if you're pairing this with React.
- 3Learn generic constraints (`<T extends SomeType>`) to restrict what's allowed.
