Partial is another utility type that is available in TypeScript. Partial makes all the properties of a type optional, which allows a property or certain properties to be updated.

Example

interface Product {
    id: string,
    name: string,
    quantity: number
}

const cheddarCheese: Product = {
    id: "4578989345589",
    name: "Generic Cheddar Cheese",
    quantity: 10
}

let updateQuantity: Partial<Product> = {}
updateQuantity.quantity = 8

console.log(cheddarCheese) //{id: "4578989345589", name: "Generic Cheddar Cheese", quantity: 8}
