Nathan Rozentals

Nathan Rozentals has been writing commercial software for over 30 years, in C, C++, Java and C#. He picked up TypeScript within a week after its initial release in October 2012 and realized how much TypeScript could help when writing JavaScript. He was one of the first people to start blogging about TypeScript, discussing early frameworks such as Backbone, Marionette, ExtJS and AngularJs. He knew he'd hit the mark when Microsoft staff started to reference his blog posts in their CodePlex discussion forums. Nathan's TypeScript solutions now control User Interfaces in IoT devices, run as stand-alone applications for Point-of-Sale solutions, provide complex application configuration web sites, and are used for mission-critical server APIs.

These options are similar to the "strict" options, in that they further guard our code against things like unused parameters, implicit returns, and implicit any. In this section of the chapter, we will take a look at these compiler options and how they can detect potential errors within our code. These parameters are similar in nature to "strict" parameters, in that they can be turned on or off and can be introduced into a code base gradually.

Note that if the "strict" compiler option has been set to true, then all of these options will be true as well.

noImplicitAny

When a type has not been specified for a property, parameter, or function return type, the TypeScript compiler will automatically assume that it is of type any. In strict mode, this will generate an error. Consider the following code:

declare function testImplicityAny...
