What is Typescript?
TypeScript is a free and open source programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a strict superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing and class-based object-oriented programming to the language.
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript which primarily provides optional static typing, classes and interfaces. One of the big benefits is to enable IDEs to provide a richer environment for spotting common errors as you type the code.
There are two main ways to get the TypeScript tools:
- Via npm (the Node.js package manager)
- By installing TypeScript’s Visual Studio plugins
The command-line TypeScript compiler can be installed as a Node.js package.
Install
npm install -g typescript
