Deep dives
What is a TypeScript record and how is it used?
A TypeScript record is a utility method for defining an object type where the keys and values are known. It is commonly used when you have a union of keys and their corresponding values. For example, defining sizes like small, medium, large with types such as T-shirt or hoodie. It offers a shorthand approach compared to manually creating objects and looping over keys. Records are useful when you know the structure of the object beforehand.
