5 Resources Each TypeScript Developer Should Know About
There are a bunch of awesome type utility libraries that may boost your works on types, like ts-toolbelt, utility-types, SimplyTyped, etc., which you can already use.
-
Boost Your JavaScript with JSDoc Typing
With these powerful features, you can create dynamic and expressive types. One last thing I want to mention before moving on, is that you can install libraries with which you can add more types to your project like type-fest or utility-types. These libraries contain a lot of useful types that you can use in your project.

ts-essentials VS utility-types - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 24 Nov 2022
"Collection of utility types, complementing TypeScript built-in mapped types and aliases (think "lodash" for static types)." with 1.3M weekly downloads

Function requires ommited type but accepts full type
I am guessing that since it does not exists as an built in type, in utility-types, or in ts-toolbelt that it currently isn't possible.

My collection of helpful Utility Types :D
There is something similar here: https://github.com/piotrwitek/utility-types, but it hasn't been updated since TS 3.7 and there is a LOT more that can be done with TypeScript since 3.7. Mainly variadic tuples and template literal types.

Eloquent JavaScript 4th edition (2024)
I wholeheartedly agree. At most, I introduce JSDoc[1] to newer developers as standardising how parameters and whatnot are commented at least gets you better documentation and _some_ safety without adding any TS knowledge overhead.

Learn how to document JavaScript/TypeScript code using JSDoc & Typedoc
This is where JSDoc comes to save the day.

Add typing to your Javascript code (without Typescript, kinda) ✍🏼
The best way to do this, of course, is with JSDoc. But something I always found awkward about jsdoc is defining the object types in the same file. So, after a lot of reading, I found a way to combine JSDoc with declaration type files from Typescript. Let me give you an example:

What is JSDoc and why you may not need typescript for your next project?
There is a lot of specific symbols presented on the JSDOC specification that can be found here: https://jsdoc.app

TypeScript Might Not Be Your God: Case Study of Migration from TS to JSDoc
JSDoc is a specification for the comment format in JavaScript. This specification allows developers to describe the structure of their code, data types, function parameters, and much more using special comments. These comments can then be transformed into documentation using appropriate tools.

Adding a search feature to my app
Working with new features, frameworks, and tools, the experience of reading documentation is a critical part of it. I have been lucky to work with projects that feature really easy to read documentation such as USWDS and Bun, but I've also had the misfortune to work with pretty terrible documentation like JSDoc. The JSDoc documentation lacks a search field which makes searching for specific items an ordeal and also does not cover many hidden use cases. It provides less than the bare minimum for what it needs to do - a lot of the time I am forced to rely on external user documentation elsewhere to use JSDoc effectively. That was why I was drawn to the search field in particular in Docusaurus.

JavaScript First, Then TypeScript
The Svelte team followed suit but motivated by the maintainer's developer experience as they migrated the project away from TypeScript in favor of plain JSDoc comments for type annotations instead.
-
No comments. Now what?
Even more relevant, tools like Javadoc, JSDoc, Doxygen, etc. read comments in a specific format to generate documentation. These comments do not affect readability. On the contrary, Javadocs are great for explaining how to use these entities. Combined with tools like my dear Doctest, we even get guarantees of accuracy and correctness!
