Advanced TypeScript Programming Projects

Overview of this book

With the demand for ever more complex websites, the need to write robust, standard-compliant JavaScript has never been greater. TypeScript is modern JavaScript with the support of a first-class type system, which makes it simpler to write complex web systems. With this book, you’ll explore core concepts and learn by building a series of websites and TypeScript apps. You’ll start with an introduction to TypeScript features that are often overlooked in other books, before moving on to creating a simple markdown parser. You’ll then explore React and get up to speed with creating a client-side contacts manager. Next, the book will help you discover the Angular framework and use the MEAN stack to create a photo gallery. Later sections will assist you in creating a GraphQL Angular Todo app and then writing a Socket.IO chatroom. The book will also lead you through developing your final Angular project which is a mapping app. As you progress, you’ll gain insights into React with Docker and microservices. You’ll even focus on how to build an image classification program with machine learning using TensorFlow. Finally, you’ll learn to combine TypeScript and C# to create an ASP.NET Core-based music library app. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently use TypeScript 3.0 and different JavaScript frameworks to build high-quality apps.

Creating a microservices application with Docker

The project we are going to write is a small part of a CRM system to maintain details about customers and add leads for those customers. The way the application works is that the user creates addresses; when they add in details about contacts, they will select the address from the list of addresses they have already created. Finally, they can create leads that use the contacts they have already added. The idea behind this system is that, previously, the application used one big database for this information—we are going to break this down into three discrete services.

Working alongside the GitHub code, this chapter should take about three hours to complete. When completed, the application should look as follows:

After doing this, we'll move on and see how to create apps for Docker and how this complements our project...
