TypeScript 4 Design Patterns and Best Practices

By: Theofanis Despoudis

Overview of this book

Design patterns are critical armor for every developer to build maintainable apps. TypeScript 4 Design Patterns and Best Practices is a one-stop guide to help you learn design patterns and practices to develop scalable TypeScript applications. It will also serve as handy documentation for future maintainers. This book takes a hands-on approach to help you get up and running with the implementation of TypeScript design patterns and associated methodologies for writing testable code. You'll start by exploring the practical aspects of TypeScript 4 and its new features. The book will then take you through the traditional gang of four (GOF) design patterns in their classic and alternative form and show you how to use them in real-world development projects. Once you've got to grips with traditional design patterns, you'll advance to learning about their functional programming and reactive programming counterparts and how to couple them to deliver better and more idiomatic TypeScript code. By the end of this TypeScript book, you'll be able to efficiently recognize when and how to use the right design patterns in any practical use case and gain the confidence to work on scalable and maintainable TypeScript projects of any size.

Preface

This book is about learning modern TypeScript design patterns and best practices to prevent common software problems and defects that emerge from complex or difficult-to-understand code. Utilizing design patterns in apps also helps to create relevant abstractions for future maintainers.

This book offers complete step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions to explore the key design patterns and best practices of modern TypeScript applications.

You'll start by learning about the practical aspects of TypeScript 4 and its new features.

You will then learn about the traditional GOF design patterns, such as behavioral, creational, and structural, in their classic and alternative forms, and we will explain how you can implement them in practice.

You will then enhance your learning of patterns with their Functional Programming (FP) and reactive programming counterparts, coupled together to write better and more idiomatic TypeScript code.

By the end of the book, you will be able to efficiently recognize when and how to use the right design patterns in any practical use cases and be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable TypeScript projects of any size.
