// TypeScript
type OptionalUser = {
    [K in keyof User]?: User[K]
}

// ! we can remove optional constraint
type RequiredUser = {
    [K in keyof OptionalUser]-?: User[K]
}

type NullableUser = {
    [K in keyof User]: User[K] | null
}
type ReadonlyUser = {
    readonly [K in keyof User]: User[K]
}

// ! we can remove readonly constraint
type ModifiableUser = {
    -readonly [K in keyof User]: User[K]
}

Write code without line number

function sayHello() {
  console.log('Hello there!');
}

Tables

You can create tables like this

Diagrams

In Hugo there is an incredible variaty to create different diagrams. Hugo supports GoAt diagrams.

Althoug Hugo doesn’t support mermaid diagrams natively, it’s easy to set up, just follow their tutorial.

sequenceDiagram
    participant Alice
    participant Bob
    Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
    loop Healthcheck
        John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
    end
    Note right of John: Rational thoughts 
prevail!
    John-->>Alice: Great!
    John->>Bob: How about you?
    Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
