What is the naming convention for interfaces and classes in TypeScript?

Issue

I have the following:

interface IUser {
  email: string
  password: string
}

class User {
  email: string
  password: string
  constructor(email: string, password: string) {
    this.email = email
    this.password = password
  }

  isEmailValid(): boolean {
    return validatorJs.isEmail(this.email)
  }

  isPasswordValid(): boolean {
    return validatorJs.isStrongPassword(this.password, opts)
  }
}

function createUser(user: IUser) {
  // applying isPasswordValid and isEmailValid
  //insert ...
}

function getUser(): IUser {
  return new User('foo@bar.com', 'foobar')
}

I have to put the letter "I" before the interface name, is that correct or should I do it differently?

Solution

Someone has developed a TypeScript style guide. You can find it here: https://ts.dev/style

From that guide:

This is the style guide for the TypeScript language that was based on the one that is provided by Google. It contains both rules and best practices. Choose those that work best for your team.

This is what it says about interface naming:

Do not mark interfaces specially ( IMyInterface or MyFooInterface) unless it's idiomatic in its environment. When introducing an interface for a class, give it a name that expresses why the interface exists in the first place (e.g. class TodoItem and interface TodoItemStorage if the interface expresses the format used for storage/serialization in JSON).
