Mastering TypeScript for Modern Development

Why TypeScript?

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing to the language. This helps catch errors during development and provides better tooling support.

Key Benefits

• Static type checking
• Better IDE support
• Improved refactoring
• Enhanced documentation
• Better team collaboration

Basic Types

TypeScript provides several basic types:

let name: string = "John";
let age: number = 30;
let isActive: boolean = true;
let hobbies: string[] = ["reading", "coding"];
      

Interfaces

Interfaces define the structure of objects:

interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  isActive?: boolean;
}
      

Conclusion

TypeScript is an invaluable tool for modern JavaScript development. It helps write more maintainable and reliable code.
