What is TypeScript?
TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript. It adds static type definitions to JavaScript, helping catch errors early and improve code quality.
Key Features
- Static typing
- Type inference
- Interfaces and types
- Generics
- Advanced tooling support
Getting Started
To use TypeScript, you need to install it and create a tsconfig.json file. Then you can write .ts or .tsx files instead of .js files.
Benefits
TypeScript helps catch errors during development, provides better IDE support, and makes code more maintainable, especially in large projects.
