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.

Declaration files

A declaration file is a special type of file used by the TypeScript compiler. It is only used during the compilation step and is used as a sort of reference file to describe JavaScript. Declaration files are similar to the header files used in C or C++ or the interfaces used in Java. They simply describe the structure of available functions and properties but do not provide an implementation. In this section of the chapter, we will take a look at these declaration files, what they are, and how to write them.

Global variables

Most modern websites use some sort of server engine to generate the HTML pages that we use. If you are familiar with the Microsoft stack of technologies, then you will know that ASP.NET MVC is a very popular server-side rendering engine. If you are a Node developer, then you may be using one of the popular Node packages to help construct web pages through templates, such as Jade, Handlebars, or Embedded JavaScript (EJS).
