# Referenced

> In TypeScript, a referenced type is a type definition declared with a specific name, allowing it to be referred to or reused elsewhere in the code.

Referenced type names will be used as the name for the generated GraphQL object type.

<Info>For comparison, see [inline types](/concepts/types/inline).</Info>

## Example

```ts theme={null}
interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
}

type UserWithoutName = Omit<User, 'name'>;

@graphql.resolver()
class UserResolver {
  @graphql.query()
  getUserId(): UserWithoutName {
    // ...
  }
}
```

In this example, the `UserWithoutName` referenced type is utilized as the object type name instead of the automatically generated inline type name `OmitUsername` derived from `Omit<User, 'name'>`.

```graphql theme={null}
type UserWithoutName {
  id: String!
}

type Query {
  getUserId: UserWithoutName
}
```

This showcases how the explicitly named referenced type contributes to the clarity and semantic coherence of the generated GraphQL object type.
