How to use the Partial<T> Utility Type In Typescript
The Partial<T> utility type in TypeScript enables developers to create new types where all properties of the original type T are optional. This approach simplifies the process of defining partial types and is particularly useful for complex data structures.
Syntax:
Partial<T>
Example: The below code explains the use of the Partial<T> utility type with interfaces.
Javascript
interface User { name: string; est: number; desc: string;}type PartialUser = Partial<User>;const partialUser: PartialUser = { name: "w3wiki", est: 2009};console.log("PartialUser type:", partialUser); |
Output:
PartialUser type: { name: "w3wiki", est: 2009}
