How does 'Indexed Access Types' work for deep object selection?
Updated May 4, 2026
Short answer
It allows you to look up the type of a property on another type using a syntax similar to object property access.
Deep explanation
This is a fundamental building block for generics. It allows you to maintain a 'single source of truth' for types—if the property type changes in the main interface, all indexed accesses update automatically[cite: 1].
