Overview of this book

TypeScript is the future of JavaScript. Having been designed for the development of large applications, it is now being widely incorporated in cutting-edge projects such as Angular 2. Adopting TypeScript results in more robust software - software that is more scalable and performant. It's scale and performance that lies at the heart of every project that features in this book. The lessons learned throughout this book will arm you with everything you need to build some truly amazing projects. You'll build a complete single page app with Angular 2, create a neat mobile app using NativeScript, and even build a Pac Man game with TypeScript. As if fun wasn't enough, you'll also find out how to migrate your legacy codebase from JavaScript to TypeScript. This book isn't just for developers who want to learn - it's for developers who want to develop. So dive in and get started on these TypeScript projects.

Writing the view


The application will show an input box at the top of the screen, which is used to type the title of the spreadsheet. Below the title, a table is shown which contains all fields of the spreadsheet. When the user clicks on a field, a popup is created which allows the user to change the content of that field. If the field contains errors, these errors are shown in the popup:

We will use React to create the view of our application. With Stateless Functional Components, we can write pure functions that render the state.

Rendering the grid

In lib/client/sheet.tsx, we will import React and functions and types that we created before:

import * as React from "react"; 
import { Dispatch } from "../model/store"; 
import { Expression, expressionToString, failureText } from "../model/expression" 
import { State } from "../model/state"; 
import { Sheet, Field, Result, ResultField, columns, rows, parseField, fieldToString } from "../model/sheet"; 
import { update...
