How to use generics in TypeScript

[DemPilafian]

One of the key things that made this tutorial awesome is the excellent *"job queue"* example. Using a simple but realistic example is a million times more helpful than using the typical meaningless placeholders of *"foo", "bar", "test1", "test2", * and *"asdf".*

I've discovered your channel a few days ago and started to watch all your videos. You're are amazing buddy! State of the art content and the way you explain everything to the detail is unbeatable! The length of your videos also fits me a lot. Thank you and keep doing the good stuff!

For ages I've been coming across tutorials and articles on this topic but this video is exactly what I've been looking for. I can finally say that now I totally got my head around how generics work in TypeScript. Thank you Andrew for making this incredibly helpful video. You've definitely gotten my subscription. Keep up with the great content.

Had read the official docs numerous times and had watched several vids regarding generics in TS. But couldn't develop a firm mental model about the same like your vid helped me develop. Amazing explanation man ! 👌

Why have I watched like 10 videos on the subject of Generics but only now understanding it. You did a very good job explaining this, THANKS !

YouTube is acting bizarrely. It says this video has 30K views, but has 45K likes. That’s a great ratio. Keep up the great work! Also the video was great. Thank you!

One of the best explanations of Generics I've ever seen 👏

This was helpful to form a Nice mental modal

I often find generic pretty hard to implement in my code base, but I just got an idea how I can do it now. Thanks!

[rahimco-susc]

thanks a lot for this, it helps me understand generics in a deep way

[codecifra]

Dude you’re good at explaining things. Keep it up! 💯 Glad I discovered your channel. Btw, will you make a video on types vs interfaces? Or do you have a short explanation on when to use one over the other? Thank you!

[RayanMADAO]

Amazing thanks for helping me understand generics. I have a more intuitive feel for them now.

[kirillvoloshin]

template type analogy is great!
I would love if TS renamed generics to template types of something

[KarimFayed-oyoo]

Great video!
The one thing I don't understand is why is there a need for the angle brackets before the parenthesis of a function?

Hey, I have a question, but it's actually not related to the topic main of this video exactly.

I noticed you are using this // ^? comment at the bottom, which seems rather useful. Can you say exactly what it's called exactly? I tried searching for it online but couldn't find anything. Is it a typescript specific thing, or perhaps it's just a typescript playground feature? If it's documented somewhere, a link to that would be golden, cheers!

Why create `Job` as a type instead of an interface?
