Overview of this book

TypeScript is both a language and a set of tools to generate JavaScript, designed by Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft to help developers write enterprise-scale JavaScript. Mastering Typescript is a golden standard for budding and experienced developers. With a structured approach that will get you up and running with Typescript quickly, this book will introduce core concepts, then build on them to help you understand (and apply) the more advanced language features. You’ll learn by doing while acquiring the best programming practices along the way. This fourth edition also covers a variety of modern JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks, comparing their strengths and weaknesses. You'll explore Angular, React, Vue, RxJs, Express, NodeJS, and others. You'll get up to speed with unit and integration testing, data transformation, serverless technologies, and asynchronous programming. Next, you’ll learn how to integrate with existing JavaScript libraries, control your compiler options, and use decorators and generics. By the end of the book, you will have built a comprehensive set of web applications, having integrated them into a single cohesive website using micro front-end techniques. This book is about learning the language, understanding when to apply its features, and selecting the framework that fits your real-world project perfectly.

Test-Driven Development

In the modern world of JavaScript development, there are many different frontend frameworks that we can use to write applications, from older frameworks such as Backbone.js, to newer ones such as Angular, React, and Vue. These frameworks will generally use either the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern, or some variation of it, such as the Model View Presenter (MVP), or Model View View Model (MVVM). When discussing this group of patterns together, they are described by some as Model View Whatever (MVW), or simply MV*.

Some of the benefits of this MV* style of writing applications include modularity and separation of concerns, but one of the biggest advantages is the ability to write testable JavaScript. Using MV* allows us to unit test the Models we use, the Views we use, and the Controllers we use. We can write tests for individual classes, and then extend these tests to cover groups of classes. We can also test our rendering functions and ensure...
