Q35: What are Template Literal Types?

Difficulty:MediumTopic:Template Literals

Template Literal Types build on string literal types, allowing you to compose and manipulate string types using template literal syntax.

Combining Event String Literals
type Event = 'click' | 'hover';
type Level = 'primary' | 'secondary';

type ButtonEvent = `${Level}_${Event}`;
// Resulting Union: "primary_click" | "primary_hover" | "secondary_click" | "secondary_hover"
💡 Template literal types cross-multiply combined literal union members.
Key Takeaways
  • Template literal types generate string unions through string interpolation.
