TypeScript Satisfies Operator
Validate values match a type without losing type inference using the satisfies operator.
Usage
Ask when and how to use satisfies vs type annotations for precise type control.
Examples
- "What's the difference between satisfies and a type annotation?"
- "Use satisfies to validate my config object type"
- "How does satisfies help with const object inference?"
Guidelines
- Explain the problem satisfies solves: validation without widening
- Compare satisfies with type annotations and as const
- Show practical examples: config maps, route definitions, theme objects
- Cover combining satisfies with as const for maximum precision
- Include common pitfalls and when satisfies isn't the right tool
