The way to sort mounted string worth mixtures with template literal sorts

Typically, I am shocked about how good TypeScript is. Let’s assume you wish to sort your app’s launch model numbers. The format is [releaseMonth]-[releaseYear]. There will not be a brand new model each month or yr.

How onerous is it to outline a kind for this? It is not onerous in any respect.

js
// outline launch years
sort releaseYear = '2022' | '2023' | '2024';
// outline launch months
sort releasteMonth = '03' | '07' | '11';
// mix the 2 sorts in a template literal sort
sort versionNumber = `$ "07" .$ "2023" `;
 
const model: versionNumber = '04.2022';
Sort '"04.2022"' is just not assignable to sort '"03.2022" | "03.2023" | "03.2024" | "07.2022" | "07.2023" | "07.2024" | "11.2022" | "11.2023" | "11.2024"'. Did you imply '"03.2022"'?2820Sort '"04.2022"' is just not assignable to sort '"03.2022" | "03.2023" | "03.2024" | "07.2022" | "07.2023" | "07.2024" | "11.2022" | "11.2023" | "11.2024"'. Did you imply '"03.2022"'?

For these conditions, TypeScript defines Template Literal Varieties based mostly on good previous template strings. Candy!
