You can specify the result type generically in Typescript by using a generic type parameter.
For example, let's say you have a function that returns an array of a certain type:
function toArray<T>(arg: T): T[] {
return [arg];
}
In this example, the function takes in a generic argument arg
and returns an array of T
type.
You can also specify the generic type parameter when calling the function, like so:
const myArray = toArray<number>(42);
In this case, myArray
will be of type number[]
, since we specified the generic type parameter as number
.
By using generic type parameters, you can make your functions more flexible and reusable, since they can work with different types of data.
