Overview of this book

The TypeScript language, compiler, and open source development toolset brings JavaScript development up to the enterprise level. It allows you to use ES5, ES6, and ES7 JavaScript language features today, including classes, interfaces, generics, modules, and more. Its simple typing syntax enables building large, robust applications using object-oriented techniques and industry-standard design principles. This book aims at teaching you how to get up and running with TypeScript development in the most practical way possible. Taking you through two exciting projects built from scratch, you will learn the basics of TypeScript, before progressing to functions, generics, promises, and callbacks. Then, you’ll get to implement object-oriented programming as well as optimize your applications with effective memory management. You’ll also learn to test and secure your applications, before deploying them. Starting with a basic SPA built using Angular, you will progress on to building, maybe, a Chat application or a cool application. You’ll also learn how to use NativeScript to build a cool mobile application. Each of these applications with be explained in detail, allowing you to grasp the concepts fast. By the end of this book, you will have not only built two amazing projects but you will also have the skills necessary to take your development to the next level.

Summary

In this chapter, our focus was on learning about Angular CLI and how it helps us speed up application development in Angular. We saw how Angular CLI provides us with commands for generating an application and its components, services, pipes, and modules. We then delved deeper into the Angular CLI commands and looked at various optional flags which provide flexibility to configure our application.

We also saw the features of Angular CLI which help us manage the build for the application in both dev and production environments, serve the application on the local server for testing, linting to help us manage best practices, and testing, to provide us with tools to write and run a test on our application.

Our application is currently a web application which can be accessed on all platforms, but if we want to convert our application into a native mobile application, how can...
