Say Goodbye to JavaScript runtime type errors with TypeScript
--
Are you exhausted with JavaScript runtime type errors and you can’t give up JavaScript? The perfect solution is TypeScript.
Let me share my story about why I had to learn TypeScript. I’m a volunteer to a nonprofit organization named Sustainable Education Foundation- SEF in SEF we were working on a new project called “Academix”. When I had to work on the frontend for Academix It was written with TypeScript and ReactJs. In order to do my task, I had to learn TypeScript and now I’m loving it.

Let me give you a small introduction about TypeScript. TypeScript is also an open-source pure object-oriented programming language. It was designed and developed by Microsoft. TypeScript is a superset of Javascript that compiles to plain JavaScript. So TypeScript needs to be compiled to Js in order to run that’s why it doesn’t show runtime errors. I’ll share a few key differences between Ts and Js.
- TypeScript code needs to be compiled while JavaScript code doesn’t need to compile.
- TypeScript supports a feature of prototyping while JavaScript doesn’t support this feature.
- TypeScript uses concepts like types and interfaces to describe data being used whereas JavaScript has no such concept.
- TypeScript is a powerful type system, including generics & JS features for large size projects whereas JavaScript is an ideal option for small size projects.
TypeScript looks awesome, isn’t it? Then starts learning today. I think official documentaries are great to get started.
