“You can write large programs in JavaScript. You just can’t maintain them” Anders Hejlsberg
Let’s Be Serious • JavaScript is really a powerful language: o Functional o Dynamic o Can run everywhere • Huge community • Big eco-system • Tools – IDEs, debuggers, test tools and etc.
What is TypeScript? “TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript” ~typescriptlang.org
Hello TypeScript Demo
Some TypeScript Key Features Support standard JavaScript code with static typing Encapsulation through classes and modules Support for constructors, properties and functions Interfaces and enums support Lambda and generics support Intellisense and syntax checking
• Modules • Classes • Arrow functions • Default parameters • Destructuring • Spread and rest • Let and const • for...of • Object literal methods • Shorthand properties • Computed properties • Octal / binary literals • Symbols • Template strings Features from the near Future of the Web (ES2015/6), Today Choose your compilation scenario. It is up to you!
From TypeScript to JavaScript class Greeter { greeting: string; constructor(message: string) { this.greeting = message; } greet() { return “Hi," + this.greeting; } } TypeScript Code JavaScript Code TypeScript Compiler var Greeter = (function () { function Greeter(message) { this.greeting = message; } Greeter.prototype.greet = function () { return “Hi," + this.greeting; }; return Greeter; })(); tsc.js
tsconfig.json • Enables to configure the compiler options: o Target language (ES3, ES5, ES6) o Module system (AMD, ES6, CommonJS and etc.) o Source map generation o Remove comments when compiling o And more
tsconfig.json Demo
Some Important Side Notes • All JavaScript code is TypeScript code o Simply copy and paste • All JavaScript libraries work with TypeScript o You will need a declaration file to work with the library
TypeScript Type Annotations • You can add type annotations to variables and functions • If not added, types are inferred by their context var str: string = ‘hello’; // str is annotated as string function foo(name: string) : string { // parameter and function annotated return ‘hello’ + name; }
Classes and Interfaces • You can define classes (same as in ES2015) • You can define interfaces o And implement them later interface IGreeter { greet(): void; } class Greeter implements IGreeter { greeting: string; greet() { console.log(this.greeting); } } var Greeter = (function () { function Greeter() { } Greeter.prototype.greet = function () { console.log(this.greeting); }; return Greeter; })();
Modules • Uses ES2015 modules syntax export interface IGreeter { greet(): void; } export class Greeter implements IGreeter { greeting: string; greet() { console.log(this.greeting); } } var Greeter = (function () { function Greeter() { } Greeter.prototype.greet = function () { console.log(this.greeting); }; return Greeter; }()); exports.Greeter = Greeter;
