- The `satisfies` keyword in TypeScript helps ensure type safety while allowing TypeScript to infer more specific types.
- TypeScript doesn't always infer the most precise type, leading to potential type mismatches in functions.
- Using `satisfies` is an alternative to explicit type annotations, providing a type-safe way to cast values.
- `satisfies` is particularly useful when you want TypeScript to infer a more specific type based on the value provided.
- The keyword helps in scenarios where you need to ensure a value conforms to a type while retaining its specific type details.
