The unexpected way in which conditional types constrain type variables in TypeScript

Read Original

This technical TypeScript article examines how conditional types constrain generic type variables, demonstrating that this behavior is more complex than standard type narrowing. It explores distributive conditional types and provides examples showing unexpected results when comparing types, explaining why certain type operations produce union results rather than single boolean values.
