I'm not inquiring about the implementation of a dictionary in Typescript; rather, I'm curious: "Does Typescript provide predefined interfaces for common dictionary scenarios?"
For instance:
In my project, I require a dictionary with elements of type T
.
interface GenericDict<T> {
[key: string]: T;
}
let dictionary: GenericDict<string[]> = {};
dictionary["example"] = ["foo"];
// It works as expected!
Although this code is valid, it feels like boilerplate. Is there any built-in interface in Typescript (lib.d.ts
) that handles this automatically? Using such an interface could save lines of code and maintain a cleaner codebase, removing the need to reinvent the wheel.
