Creating generic classes

Explore how to define and implement generic classes in TypeScript within a React context. Understand the syntax and benefits of using generics to create reusable, strongly-typed class components, and practice adding type-safe methods. This lesson equips you with skills to manage generic data structures effectively in React applications using TypeScript.

We'll cover the following...

- Generic class syntax
- Generic class example
- Wrap up

Generic class syntax #

The syntax for a generic class is similar to that of a generic interface:

class ClassName<T1, T2, ...> {
  ...
}

The members of the class can reference the types passed into it.
