The Type system for Pattern Matching in library npm & yarn

 In the context of a Node.js project, pattern matching refers to the process of matching a specific pattern or set of conditions in order to perform a particular action or set of actions. This can be useful for extracting information from data structures, matching input against a set of predefined patterns, or building reusable code patterns.

The type system for pattern matching in npm and yarn, two popular package managers for Node.js, is based on a library called "type-fest." Type-fest provides a set of utility types and functions for working with types in JavaScript and TypeScript, including pattern matching types such as Exclude, Extract, and Omit.

For example, the Exclude type can be used to create a new type that excludes a set of properties from an existing type. This can be useful for creating more specific types that only include a subset of the properties of a larger type.

The Extract type can be used to create a new type that includes a set of properties from an existing type. This can be useful for extracting specific properties from a larger type and creating a new type that only includes those properties.

The Omit type can be used to create a new type that omits a set of properties from an existing type. This can be useful for creating a type that excludes certain properties, while still retaining all of the other properties of the original type.

These and other pattern matching types provided by type-fest can be useful for working with types in a Node.js project managed with npm or yarn, and can help to make your code more concise, expressive, and reusable.
