What are utility types in TypeScript for React?

Utility types in TypeScript are built-in types that help manipulate and transform existing types. In React, they can simplify prop types and enhance type safety.

Can you give me examples of utility types used in React?

Sure! Common utility types include Partial<T>, which makes all properties of T optional, and Pick<T, K>, which creates a type by picking a set of properties from T.

How do I use Partial with React component props?

You can use Partial to define props that are optional. For example, interface MyComponentProps extends Partial<MyProps> {} allows you to pass only some props to MyComponent.

Are there any other utility types I should know about?

Yes! Other useful utility types include Omit<T, K>, which removes properties from a type, and Record<K, T>, which creates an object type with specific keys and values.
