In this blog post, we take a closer look at template literal types in TypeScript: While their syntax is similar to JavaScript’s template literals, they operate at the type level. Their use cases include:

- Transforming the casing of property names (e.g. from hyphen case to camel case)
- Concisely specifying large string literal union types
