In the previous chapters, we learned about the main elements of the TypeScript syntax and the main features of its type system. Over the next few chapters, we will focus on the TypeScript tools and other elements of its ecosystem.
In this chapter, we are going to learn how to use some tools to automate our development workflow. These tools will help us to reduce the amount of time that we usually spend in some trivial and repetitive tasks.
In this chapter, we will learn about the following topics:
- Source control tools
- Package management tools
- Task runners
- Module bundlers
- Test automation and test coverage
