Getting Started with TypeScript
TypeScript is a powerful superset of JavaScript that adds static typing to the language. Let's explore some basic concepts!
Why TypeScript?
TypeScript offers several benefits:
- Static typing
- Better IDE support
- Enhanced code maintainability
- Improved team collaboration
Basic Types
// Number
let age: number = 25;
// String
let name: string = "John Doe";
// Boolean
let isStudent: boolean = true;
// Array
let numbers: number[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
Interfaces
Interfaces are one of TypeScript's most powerful features:
interface User {
name: string;
age: number;
email?: string; // Optional property
}
const user: User = {
name: "John Doe",
age: 25,
};
