🚀 Why You Should Use @ts-expect-error Over @ts-ignore in TypeScript 🚀

As TypeScript developers, we often run into scenarios where the type definitions don't align with the actual data we receive. For example, you might receive a JSON object with a country field, but your type definition doesn't include it. This results in a TypeScript error when trying to access country, preventing the code from compiling.

A quick fix is to use @ts-ignore, but there's a better approach: using @ts-expect-error.

🔍 Why @ts-expect-error is superior:

• @ts-expect-error suppresses the error like @ts-ignore, but with an important difference: once you fix the type issue, @ts-expect-error will throw its own error, reminding you to remove it.

• This ensures that no unnecessary comments are left behind, leading to cleaner, more maintainable code.

💡 Best Practice: Always prefer @ts-expect-error when temporarily disabling errors. It helps keep your code clean, ensures type safety, and avoids hidden problems in the future.
