Creating a simple type alias in TypeScript

TypeScriptType Aliases vs InterfacesType Aliases Basicsbeginner

What this snippet does

Type aliases create a new name for any type, including primitives, unions, and objects.

Expected output

abc-123

Why practise typing this

Typing type aliases vs interfaces code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
