Discussion on: Tuples are ok

View post

You can now use labeled tuples, available since TypeScript 4.0!

Really useful for APIs with a standard ordering of defined arguments, such as HTML5 canvas's handling of rects:

type Rect = [x: number, y: number, width: number, height: number]

const canvas = document.querySelector('#my-canvas')
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')

const img = document.querySelector('#my-semitransparent-image')
const { width, height } = img

const rect: Rect = [0, 0, width, height]

ctx.fillStyle = '#f00'
ctx.fillRect(...rect)
ctx.drawImage(img, ...rect)
