Do you know a better way of handling your API responses in Typescript?

Nice one 👍🏿 . You can go one step further and extract the status and timestamp property into a type

This is great, I'm gonna use it. Thanks.

Yes, there's a better method; use the HTTP status codes for your error responses. 200 is a great response that declares that the call was successful. There's a whole suite of HTTP status codes to give specific exception handling function. You don't need a generic API response. You already have that from the way HTTP was built.

Can you please include how can we consume this api, because typescript will throw undefined if you directly call thos api
