If I have an interface in typescript like so
interface MyInterface { id: number; image: string; text: "one thing" | "another" | "anotherthing" | "anotherthing" }
How can I factor out my type for text with the pipes so I can use it multiple times as a type in my program? It seems like it should be simple but I’m not sure what the syntax is
For clarity I would like to be able to use it like
factoredOutType = "one thing" | "another" | "anotherthing" | "anotherthing" interface MyInterface1 { id: number; image: string; text: factoredOutType } interface MyInterface2 { name: factoredOutType }
etc… I can’t seem to find the syntax to this question so help is appreciated.

I think you just need the type
keyword:
type factoredOutType = "one thing" | "another" | "anotherthing" | "anotherthing"
Not near a compiler now so can’t really check but I think that works
