Let's assume that we have an API that return paginated list of items for several entities: Users, Books.

The server response for Users looks like that:

type User = { id: string };
type UserResponse = {
  data: User[],
  total: number;
  page: number;
  limit: number
}

The server response for Book entities looks like that:

type Book = { isbn: string};
type BookResponse = {
  data: Book[],
  total: number;
  page: number;
  limit: number
}

But we would like to follow Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) approach and create some generic type PaginatedResponse<T> that would used for creation of both types BookResponse and UserResponse in this way:

type UserResponse = PaginatedResponse<User>
