+### Type-Only Dependencies
+
+If package `a` imports only types from `b`, should `b` be a dev or production dependency of `a`?
+This depends on whether types from `b` are imported in the published `.d.ts` files of `a`.
+This occurs if e.g. `a` exports a function that uses a type from `b` in its signature.
+See the [TypeScript handbook](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-files/publishing.html#dependencies) on this topic for more details.

 It may not be enough just to have a type or a function take another type — you might have to constrain it if it's not allowed to be anything (e.g. extends Json)

 `Omit<T, K>` takes two generic types: `T` representing the original object type and `K` representing the property keys you want to remove. It returns a new type that has all the properties of T except for the ones specified in K. Here are some cases to use omit:

 - Unlike interfaces, type aliases extend `Record` and have an index signature of `string` by default, which makes them compatible with our Json-serializable types (most notably `Record<string, Json>`).
 - Type aliases can be freely merged using the intersection (`&`) operator, like interfaces which can implement multiple inheritance.
 
-#### `implements` keyword

 The `implements` keyword enables us to define and enforce interfaces, i.e. strict contracts consisting of expected object and class properties and abstract method signatures.
 Writing an interface to establish the specifications of a class that external code can interact while without being aware of internal implementation details is encouraged as sound OOP development practice.

 TypeScript offers several tools for crafting clear data definitions, with enumerations and unions standing as popular choices.

+### Consider using enums over union types for situations with a fixed set of known values.
 
 Inevitably you will want to refer to the values of a union type somewhere (perhaps as the argument to a function). You can of course just use a literal which represents a member of that union — but if you have an enum, then all of the values are special, and any time you use a value then anyone can see where that value comes from.

 Numeric enums are misleading because it creates a reverse mapping from value to property name, and when using `Object.values` to access member names, it will return the numerical values instead of the member names, potentially causing unexpected behavior.
