Intro to TS

Typescript is a superset of javascript, therefore any valid js code is also valid ts code

typescript uses Strong Typing (using this feature is optional)
OOP Features (classes, interfaces, access modifiers || public, private)
Typescript allows you to catch errors at compile time and not runtime.
Great tooling/plugin support for typescript
Typescript needs to be transpiled into Javascript to run on the browser
You can write the same js code in TS, at least it will always give you warning at compile time.

Typescript provides static type checking (numbers, strings, boolean, etc)
TS allows to leverage on the capability of Class Based Objects, which exists in languages like PHP, C# etc. -TS is a SuperSet of Javascript as Objective C is a superset of C
TS gives us the power of modules and ES6 Features too
TS uses a syntax closer to Java, Scala and other high level languages
TS types are String, Number, Boolean, Array, Any, Void, Null, Tuple, Enum, Generics
- Any : can be any kind of type
- Void : No type returned
- Null : or undefined
- Tuple : An array with a fixed number of elements
- Enum : Enumerated values
- Generics : Type of Constrain
TS allows to use Classes in an OOP way without the Prototype based objects model in Javascript.
