Conditional types

• 📺 Conditional Types, TypeScript's most POWERFUL feature • 4 minute video by Basarat Ali using the example of a typeName helper to demonstrate how conditional types work and why you can think of them as functions that compute an output (a specific type) based on an input (a generic type).
• 📺 TypeScripts amazing INFER Keyword • 3 minute video by Basarat Ali showing how to use the infer keyword inside a conditional type to get the type name of the generic argument that was passed in.

• 📺 What are TypeScript MAPPED Types and how to use them Effectively • 4 minute video by Basarat Ali using the example of creating a readonly version of an existing type to demonstrate how a mapped type is created by mapping over the properties of an existing type and modifying their definitions (similar to creating a new JS array by mapping over an existing array and returning a copy that transforms each item in some way).
• 📺 Mapped type MODIFIERS in TypeScript • 4 minute video by Basarat Ali showing how to use +, - and Partial to modify properties in a mapped type.
