TypeScript is a typed superset of javascript that transpiles to plain JavaScript. It adds optional types, classes, interfaces, and modules to JavaScript. It was developed by Microsoft and is open source.
- TypeScript offers classes, modules, and interfaces to help developers build robust components.
- TypeScript types let developers define interfaces between software components and gain insight into the behaviour of existing JavaScript libraries.
- TypeScript starts from the syntax and semantics millions of JavaScript developers know today.
- With TypeScript, developers can use existing JavaScript code, incorporate popular JavaScript libraries, and be called from other JavaScript code.
- TypeScript transpiles to JavaScript code which runs on any browser, in node.js, or in any other ES3-compatible environment.
- TypeScript as a language extension adds (amongst others) the following features:
- Type annotations and compile-time type checking
- Namespaces
- Interfaces
- Enums (to define a set of named constants)
- Generics (classes, types, and functions that can work over a variety of types)
- Await (suspends the execution until an asynchronous function return promise is fulfilled)
- Abbreviated "arrow" syntax for anonymous functions
- Optional parameters and default parameters
