In typescript, interfaces are implicit -- any object that satisfies the requested interface is allowed.
Interfaces can be extended (grown) into new interfaces that include others.
Interface
interface Person { name: string; } interface Employee extends Person { id: number; } function getId(employee: Employee): number { return employee.id; } getId({ id: 1, name: "vaderd" }); // valid (has both 'id', 'name') getId({ id: 2, name: "palpatine", isRoot: true }); // valid (extra param ignored, interface matched) getId({ name: "lukes" }) // invalid (missing id)
Type Alias
You can also define a type-alias, but you cannot
extend
it in a new interface.type Point { x: number; y: number; }
