Introduction to TypeScript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that helps you write safer and more predictable code by adding types. This reduces runtime errors and improves code readability. While JavaScript’s flexibility is advantageous, it can also lead to critical bugs. TypeScript is a powerful tool to address these issues.
IDE Superpower
Visual Studio Code is the perfect tool for TypeScript development. It offers excellent features like auto-completion, syntax highlighting, code navigation, and refactoring. With various extensions, it provides an even more powerful development environment. This book covers how to make the most of VS Code, maximizing your coding efficiency.
TypeScript in the Development Pipeline
The TypeScript compiler transforms your code into JavaScript that browsers can understand. This book introduces how to automate the tsc command and integrate it with modern frontend build tools to create an efficient development pipeline. It also covers how to detect type errors in CI/CD pipelines to prevent faulty deployments.
Basics of TypeScript
Understanding the basics of TypeScript is crucial. This book covers how to write basic type annotations, specify types for function parameters and return values, and handle types in asynchronous code. This ensures you write safer code.
Objects, Classes, and Immutability
Learn how to handle objects and classes in TypeScript. This chapter covers the differences between types and interfaces, how to maintain a clean inheritance hierarchy, and how to use built-in TypeScript utility types. It also explains how to maintain immutability.
Unique Features of TypeScript
Understanding TypeScript’s unique features is essential. Learn about enums, namespaces, parameter properties, and when to use these features. This helps you choose the most suitable TypeScript features for your project.
Harnessing the Compiler
Leverage the various features of the TypeScript compiler to infer types and generate types based on runtime values. This enhances code reusability and ensures types are always up-to-date.
Understanding the Environment
Understand the difference between TypeScript modules and scripts, and learn how to provide type definitions for third-party libraries and external code. This optimizes your project and maintains type safety.
Advanced Application Development
Learn how to design types for advanced application development. This chapter covers using generics, template literals, and mapped types to express real-world concepts and relationships in code. It also covers advanced techniques for writing utility functions.
