Strict typing in TypeScript prevents runtime errors by enabling `strict: true` in your tsconfig.json, using type guards instead of assertions, and applying optional chaining (`?.`) and nullish coalescing (`??`) for null safety. Define object shapes with interfaces and unions with type statements to ensure consistent, predictable types across your codebase.

Set up type-safe patterns by configuring strict mode, defining interfaces for object structures, using `import type` for type-only imports, and leveraging type guards for runtime validation. Integrate oxlint for linting and Vitest for testing to automate quality checks and catch type violations early.

Use interfaces to define object shapes and contracts; use types for unions, primitives, and complex compositions. This convention clarifies intent, improves readability, and aligns with strict TypeScript patterns that enforce consistent object modeling and union type definitions.

Yes. Oxlint enforces linting rules aligned with strict TypeScript patterns, and Vitest provides a test framework for validating type-safe code behavior. Together they automate quality checks, catch type violations, and ensure your codebase maintains null safety and type consistency.

Strict typing eliminates inconsistent typing, reduces runtime errors from null/undefined values, and standardizes object modeling across the team. Type guards, interfaces, and import type patterns enforce predictable code structure, making maintenance easier and catching bugs at compile time.
