To make an object type from another object type keys, you can the in operator in combination with the keyof operator inside an Index Signature syntax in TypeScript.

TL;DR

// a simple type
type Person = {
  name: string;
  age: number;
  isAdmin: boolean;
};

// make another object type from
// the `Person` type key's using the
// `in` and the `keyof` operator
// inside the `Index Signature` syntax
type AllPropertyStringPerson = {
  [Value in keyof Person]: string;
};

/*
The `AllPropertyStringPerson` type content looks like this,

{
  name: string;
  age: string;
  isAdmin: string;
}

*/

For example, let's say we have a type called Person with some properties like name, age, and isAdmin having types of string, number, and boolean respectively like this,

// a simple type
type Person = {
  name: string;
  age: number;
  isAdmin: boolean;
};

Now we aim to make another object type using the Person type's keys but with a different type for each key in the new type say string.

To do that we can use the in operator followed by the keyof operator inside the Index Signature syntax like this,

// a simple type
type Person = {
  name: string;
  age: number;
  isAdmin: boolean;
};

// make another object type from
// the `Person` type key's using the
// `in` and the `keyof` operator
// inside the `Index Signature` syntax
type AllPropertyStringPerson = {
  [Value in keyof Person]: string;
};

As you can see from the above code a lot is going on. These are the explanations for the above code:

• We have used the in operator because we have to iterate through every property in the Person type
• and also while looping we need to get only the key's name and for that, we have used the keyof operator followed by the type we need to get the key name from in our case it is the Person type.
• The key name value will then be stored inside the Value placeholder name we have given inside the Index Signature syntax.
• and finally, we have given the type of string for every property in the new type AllPropertyStringPerson.

Now if you hover over the AllPropertyStringPerson (if you are using VScode or TypeScript enabled editor), you can see that all the keys from the Person object are reflected in the AllPropertyStringPerson type and all the properties are having the type of string.

It will look like this,

// a simple type
type Person = {
  name: string;
  age: number;
  isAdmin: boolean;
};

// make another object type from
// the `Person` type key's using the
// `in` and the `keyof` operator
// inside the `Index Signature` syntax
type AllPropertyStringPerson = {
  [Value in keyof Person]: string;
};

/*
The `AllPropertyStringPerson` type content looks like this,

{
  name: string;
  age: string;
  isAdmin: string;
}

*/

We have successfully made an object type from another object type keys in TypeScript. Yay 🥳!

That's all 😃!
