Why should you use Typescript?
Simple. It solves your problem. Let's see.
- Type checking: This is why typescript really exist. It adds type checking over javascript. It stops you to write stupid code.
Let's see an example:
const addNums = (a, b) => {
return a + b
}
a and b should be number. But you stupidly pass strings.
addNums('1', '2')
outupt:
'12'
We don't want this to happen. It was a stupid example. But if you are working on bigger project, this kind of bug can happen easily. You waste hours and hours to fix the code.
This where typescript rescues us with type checking.
const addNums = (a: number, b: number) => {
return a + b
}
Now if you pass string it will give you error so that you can fix it.
- Gives error at compile time instead of runtime: Instead of your code giving the error at code run time, typescript will throw you compile error.
- Object oriented programming: Typescript allow you to use object oriented programming concepts very easily. Like class, interface, inheritance and so on.
- Predictable Code: If you have type checking, then you know where to put what type of data. And which code will return which type of output. Basically you can predict the code and it is very important
- Great Intellisense: You will have far more better intellisense with Typescript than JavaScript. If you don't believe me, try it out.
- Write Next generation code: Typescript allow you to write next generation code. It will compile down your code to older version so that you code stays compatible with older browser and javascript runtime.
- Absolute import and alias: You can use absolute import and import aliases with typescript. They are super helpful. In case if you don't understand absolute import.
- Easy to understand: Typescript makes your code a lot easier to read and understand. Because you know what variable is which type and where to use what.
- Support with most libraries: Most of the third party libraries has typescript.
- Great community: Typescript has a huge community. It is so much popular that most of the developer uses typescript over JavaScript.
and the list goes on and on........
There is a lot more things that are available on typescript. But I believe they are enough to convince you to use typescript.
So,
Will you use Typescript after reading this blog?
Also if you use typescript what feature do you like most about it?
Please let me know in the comments section. I would love to hear from you.
