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.

no compiler options

There are also a number of compiler options that are prefixed with the word "no". These options are similar to the "strict" options, in that they further guard our code against things like unused parameters, implicit returns, and implicit any. In this section of the chapter, we will take a look at these compiler options and how they can detect potential errors within our code. These parameters are similar in nature to "strict" parameters, in that they can be turned on or off and can be introduced into a code base gradually.

Note that if the "strict" compiler option has been set to true, then all of these options will be true as well.

noImplicitAny

When a type has not been specified for a property, parameter, or function return type, the TypeScript compiler will automatically assume that it is of type any. In strict mode, this will generate an error. Consider the following code:

declare function testImplicityAny...
