How do 'Indexed Access Types' maintain a single source of truth?
Updated May 4, 2026
Short answer
They allow looking up the type of a property on another type using object-like syntax[cite: 1].
Deep explanation
Indexed access types ensure that if the property type in a main interface changes, all dependent types update automatically. This prevents stale duplication[cite: 1].
