Convert type assertions safely and learn type-safe alternatives
Type assertions tell TypeScript to trust you without runtime checks. This can lead to runtime errors if the assertion is wrong.
Prefer type guards or runtime validation libraries (like Zod) for safer type checking.
as syntax: Recommended, works in JSX
Angle bracket: Legacy style, doesn't work in JSX
satisfies: TypeScript 4.9+, validates without widening
Type guards: Runtime-safe with proper validation
