In this chapter, I describe the way that TypeScript deals with objects. As explained in chapters 3 and 4, JavaScript has a fluid and flexible approach to dealing with objects, and TypeScript aims to strike a balance between preventing the most common mistakes while allowing useful features to be preserved. This is a theme that is continued in chapter 11, where I describe the TypeScript support for using classes. Table 10.1 summarizes the chapter.
