TypeScript High Performance

By: Ajinkya Kher

Overview of this book

<p>In a world where a tiny decrease in frames per second impacts customer engagement greatly, writing highly scalable code is more of a necessity than a luxury. Using TypeScript you get type checking during development. This gives you the power to write optimized code quickly. This book is also a solid tool to those who’re curious to understand the impact of performance in production, and it is of the greatest aid to the proactive developers who like to be cognizant of and avoid the classic pitfalls while coding.</p> <p>The book will starts with explaining the efficient implementation of basic data Structures, data types, and flow control. You will then learn efficient use of advanced language constructs and asynchronous programming. Further, you'll learn different configurations available with TSLint to improve code quality and performance. Next, we'll introduce you to the concepts of profiling and then we deep dive into profiling JS with several tools such as firebug, chrome, fiddler. Finally, you'll learn techniques to build and deploy real world large scale TypeScript applications.</p>

Building locally


Let’s first take a look at how we can build TypeScript code locally. Two of the most popular task runner tools used to execute a series of functions that combine, obfuscate, compress, and bundle your code are Grunt and Gulp. The TypeScript community has released Node packages for both of these tools --and several others --that can help us get building quickly.

Note

When using some other tooling such as Angular CLI or Ionic, the tooling may come with TypeScipt compilation preconfigured.

Note

Any operating-specific tasks should be written to work in both Windows and Linux environments. There’s nothing worse than your build script working locally on Windows and failing on your continuous integration server that is Linux (or vice versa).

Grunt

Let's take a look at Grunt first. We can install the Node Grunt TypeScript package by simply running the following command in our Terminal:

npm install grunt-ts

This will install the necessary components for Grunt to compile our TypeScript project...
