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 and sending data to the IndexedDB database

It would make for a very poor experience when using the application if we could not save details for use the next time we came back to it. Fortunately, newer web browsers provide support for something called IndexedDB, which is a web browser-based database. Using this as our data store means that the details will be available when we reopen the page.

While we are working with the database, we have two distinct areas that we need to bear in mind. We require code to build the database table and we require code to save the records in a database. Before we start writing the database table, we are going to add the ability to describe what our database looks like, which will be used to build the database.

Next, we will create a fluent interface to add the information that ITable exposes:

export interface ITableBuilder {
