Advanced Generic Patterns

Generic Constraints and Inference

// Constraint with keyof
function getProperty<T, K extends keyof T>(obj: T, key: K): T[K] {
  return obj[key];
}

// Infer return types
type ReturnTypeOf<T> = T extends (...args: any[]) => infer R ? R : never;

// Infer array element type
type ElementOf<T> = T extends (infer E)[] ? E : never;

// Recursive generic types
type DeepReadonly<T> = {
  readonly [P in keyof T]: T[P] extends object
    ? DeepReadonly<T[P]>
    : T[P];
};

Variadic Tuple Types

type Prepend<T, U extends any[]> = [T, ...U];
type Append<U extends any[], T> = [...U, T];

function tuple<T extends any[]>(...args: T): T {
  return args;
}

// Tuple manipulation with generics
type TupleSplit<T extends any[], N extends number, A extends any[] = []> =
  A['length'] extends N
    ? [A, T]
    : T extends [infer F, ...infer R]
    ? TupleSplit<R, N, [...A, F]>
    : [A, T];

Conditional Types Mastery

Distributive Conditional Types

// Distributes over union types
type ToArray<T> = T extends any ? T[] : never;
type StrOrNumArray = ToArray<string | number>; // string[] | number[]

// Extract subset of union
type ExtractByType<T, U> = T extends U ? T : never;

// Exclude subset from union
type ExcludeByType<T, U> = T extends U ? never : T;

Non-Distributive Conditional Types

// Use tuple to prevent distribution
type IsUnion<T> = [T] extends [infer U]
  ? U extends T
    ? [T] extends [U]
      ? false
      : true
    : false
  : false;

Template Literal Type Manipulation

type EventName<T extends string> = `on${Capitalize<T>}`;
type CamelCase<S extends string> = S extends `${infer P1}_${infer P2}${infer P3}`
  ? `${Lowercase<P1>}${Uppercase<P2>}${CamelCase<P3>}`
  : Lowercase<S>;

// Path type extraction
type PathKeys<T> = T extends object
  ? {
      [K in keyof T]: K extends string
        ? T[K] extends object
          ? `${K}` | `${K}.${PathKeys<T[K]>}`
          : `${K}`
        : never;
    }[keyof T]
  : never;
