"Reopening the interface" in TypeScript refers to the ability to declare an interface with the same name multiple times, with TypeScript automatically merging all declarations into a single, combined interface. This feature is formally known as declaration merging.
To reopen an interface, declare a new interface with the same name as the existing interface and add the new properties.
The TypeScript compiler will merge the two interfaces, resulting in a single interface with all of the properties from both declarations.
