How to Extend an Interface from a class in TypeScript ?

In TypeScript, extending an interface means one interface can inherit the properties and methods of another. Similarly, an interface can also extend a class, reusing its structure.

Syntax: 

This is the syntax for creating a class. We may use the below syntax for creating a class in TypeScript:

class class_name {
 ...
}

This is the syntax for creating an interface. We may use the below syntax for creating an interface in TypeScript:

interface interface_name {
 ...
}

Interface Extending a Class

In TypeScript, an interface can extend a class. This means the interface inherits the class’s properties and methods . Any class implementing that interface must provide the method definitions.

Now let's understand this with the help of example:

Output:

GeeksforGeeks

In this example:

• A class is defined with some properties.
• An interface extends that class and declares a method.
• A new class extends the base class and implements the interface, providing the actual method definition.
• Finally, we create an object and call the method.

Multiple Interfaces with a Class

In TypeScript, a class can implement multiple interfaces. This allows us to combine different contracts (sets of properties and methods) into one class, making it more flexible and reusable.

Now let's understand this with the help of example:

Output:

1 - Apple
2 - Banana

In this example:

• A parent class is created with variable declarations.
• Two interfaces are defined, each declaring its own method.
• A derived class extends the parent class and implements both interfaces.
• An object is created to call all the implemented methods.
