✅ Type-Safe Utility Checks in TypeScript — 2025 Edition

Types aren’t just documentation — they’re contracts the compiler enforces. Want to be sure your utility types do exactly what you expect?

  • 🔍 Use type-level assertions to verify correctness
  • 🔄 Test for exact matches and meaningful differences
  • 📌 Catch edge cases before they hit runtime
  • 🧠 Build confidence in your type transforms, even the tricky ones
  • 📁 Keep type tests side-by-side for clear red flags in your IDE

When your types test themselves, refactors become less risky and more fun.
