Advanced TypeScript Programming Projects

Overview of this book

With the demand for ever more complex websites, the need to write robust, standard-compliant JavaScript has never been greater. TypeScript is modern JavaScript with the support of a first-class type system, which makes it simpler to write complex web systems. With this book, you’ll explore core concepts and learn by building a series of websites and TypeScript apps. You’ll start with an introduction to TypeScript features that are often overlooked in other books, before moving on to creating a simple markdown parser. You’ll then explore React and get up to speed with creating a client-side contacts manager. Next, the book will help you discover the Angular framework and use the MEAN stack to create a photo gallery. Later sections will assist you in creating a GraphQL Angular Todo app and then writing a Socket.IO chatroom. The book will also lead you through developing your final Angular project which is a mapping app. As you progress, you’ll gain insights into React with Docker and microservices. You’ll even focus on how to build an image classification program with machine learning using TensorFlow. Finally, you’ll learn to combine TypeScript and C# to create an ASP.NET Core-based music library app. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently use TypeScript 3.0 and different JavaScript frameworks to build high-quality apps.

Creating a React Bootstrap project with TypeScript support

As we discussed in Chapter 2, Creating a Markdown Editor with TypeScript, it is a good idea to start off by gathering the requirements of the application that we are going to write. Here are the requirements for this chapter:

  • The user will be able to create new details of a person or edit them
  • These details will be saved to a client-side database
  • The user will be able to load the list of all people
  • The user will be able to delete the personal details of a person
  • The personal details will consist of the first and last names, the address (made up of two address lines, the town, the county, and the zip code), the phone number, and the date of birth
  • The personal details will be saved to the database
  • The first name will be at least one character and the last name will be at least two characters
  • Address line 1, town, and county...
