Some even go the opposite direction; in the case of Redux, there isn’t a union type to be found despite Redux being a conversion of Elm to JavaScript, and later to TypeScript. The whole point of Unions is ensure you’re Reducers can only do “1 of 3 things”. Instead, you’ll see String constants, or _maybe_ an Enum if you’re lucky. Often it’s dangerous Records used to narrow a domain when a Union should have been used instead.

Elm, ReScript, F#, Ocaml, Scala… it’s just normal to name your types, then use them places. In fact, you’ll often create the types _before_ the code, even if you’re not really practicing DDD (Domain Driven Design). Yes, you’ll do many after the fact when doing functions, or you start testing things and decide to change your design, and make new types. Either way, it’s just “the norm”. You then do the other norms like “name your function” and “name your variables”. I’m a bit confused why it’s only 2 out of 3 (variables and functions, not types) in this TypeScript Angular project. I’ll have to look at other internal Angular projects and see if it’s common there as well.
