In the ever-evolving world of web development, TypeScript has emerged as a powerful tool for creating robust, maintainable, and error-free code. In this chapter, we will explore the benefits of using TypeScript in modern web development and provide practical examples of how it can be used to enhance code quality, readability, and maintainability.We will begin by discussing the rationale for using TypeScript and identifying scenarios where it can be most effective. Next, we will provide a step-by-step guide to setting up a basic TypeScript project and installing TypeScript. We will then dive into the foundational types of TypeScript, including strings, numbers, and booleans, and provide practical examples of how they can be used in real-world scenarios. We will also explore more complex types, such as arrays and tuples, and discuss how they can be used to manipulate data in TypeScript.Additionally, we will cover...

Technical requirements

To maximize your engagement with this chapter and actively participate in the hands-on exercises, ensure that you meet the following technical requirements:

  • A basic understanding of the JavaScript programming language.
  • Node.js and npm: Node.js must be installed on your system to execute the TypeScript compiler (tsc). You can download and install Node.js from the official website: https://nodejs.org/en.
  • A text editor or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports TypeScript. We recommend using Visual Studio Code, which is a free and open-source code editor developed by Microsoft. You can download VS code here: https://code.visualstudio.com/. You can also use CodeSandbox to experiment with TypeScript (https://codesandbox.io/s/vanilla-typescript-vanilla-ts).
  • TypeScript Compiler (tsc): TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds optional static typing. The TypeScript compiler (tsc) converts TypeScript code into JavaScript code that can run in any...

Why TypeScript?

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing and improved tooling to the JavaScript ecosystem. It has gained significant popularity among developers due to its ability to enhance the development experience, improve code quality, and enable the creation of robust applications. In this section, we will explore the advantages of using TypeScript and real-world scenarios where TypeScript shines.

Advantages of using TypeScript

TypeScript’s core feature is its static type system, which allows developers to define types for variables, function parameters, return values, classes, and namespaces. Not only do we benefit from enhanced code readability by being able to explicitly define these types, but runtime errors are reduced, and potential bugs are caught during the development phase itself. Real-world applications benefit from fewer unexpected runtime errors, leading to more reliable and stable software.In collaborative development environments, TypeScript...

Getting Started with TypeScript: Installation and Project Setup

Before delving into the intricacies of TypeScript, let's establish a solid foundation by installing the essential tools and configuring a basic project structure.We would start by installing the TypeScript compiler, tsc. This can be accomplished using the following command in your terminal (either the integrated terminal with VS Code or the default one that comes with your computer):

$ npm install -g typescript

This will install tsc globally, allowing you to access it from anywhere on your system.

Setting up a basic TypeScript project

Congrats, you just succeeded in installing typescript, now we can proceed with setting up our first Typescript project.To do that, follow these steps:

  1. Start by creating a directory for your project. This will be the folder where all your project files will be stored. You can name it clean-code-with-typescript or choose a different name if you prefer. Here’s how to do this in...

Understanding Basic Types in TypeScript

In typescript, basic types serve as the building blocks for crafting meaningful data representations. They establish a shared understanding between you, the developer, and the TypeScript compiler, ensuring clarity and precision within your code.Throughout this section, you will gain insights into basic types in TypeScript, how to effectively utilize them in your code, and discover practical examples and use cases for each type.

What are basic types in TypeScript?

In TypeScript, basic types are used to represent the most fundamental data types in the language. The following are the basic types in TypeScript:

  • string: Represents a sequence of characters.
  • number: Represents a numeric value.
  • boolean: Represents a logical value that can be either true or false.
  • null: Represents a null value.
  • undefined: Represents an undefined value.
  • symbol: Represents a unique identifier.

How to use basic types in TypeScript

To use basic types in TypeScript, you...

Working with complex types

In the previous section, we discussed the basic types in TypeScript. In the realm of TypeScript, data representation extends beyond simple types such as strings and numbers. This section delves into objects, arrays, tuples, and enums, empowering you to structure and represent more complex data collections and enhance code readability.We will begin with objects.

Objects

Objects in TypeScript allow you to encapsulate related data and functionality into a single entity. You can define object properties and methods, providing a clear structure to your code. In the code snippet below, we have created a person object:

const person: { name: string; age: number; greet: () => void } = {
  name: "Alice",
  age: 30,
  greet() {
    console.log(
      `Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I'm ${this.age}     years old.`
    );
  },
};

We have specified the expected structure of our object (the expected type), let’s see what happens when I remove...

Mastering Advanced Types

In this section, you will delve deeper into TypeScript's advanced type system. You'll learn about powerful features such as union types, intersection types, generics, and conditional types. These advanced types enable you to create more flexible, dynamic, and adaptable type definitions in your TypeScript code. By mastering these concepts, you'll be equipped to handle complex scenarios and write more robust and maintainable code. Let’s begin.

Union Types: the power of "OR"

Union types allow you to define a type that can hold values of multiple types. This flexibility is particularly useful when a function or variable can accept different types of values. Imagine representing user input that could be a string or a number:

type Input = string | number;
function processInput(value: Input) {
  if (typeof value === "string") {
    console.log(value.toUpperCase());
  } else {
    console.log(value.toFixed(2), "number&quot...

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
