Overview of this book

In the fast-paced world of web development, React sets the benchmark for high-performance client-side applications, while Node.js and Express enable scalable server-side solutions and web services. TypeScript enhances JavaScript projects with robustness and maintainability, making it essential for large-scale applications. This second edition provides a hands-on guide to mastering these technologies with new chapters and updated content reflecting the latest industry practices. Start with a solid foundation in TypeScript, building high-quality web applications. Explore React 19, leveraging the latest Hooks API and Redux Toolkit for state management. Transition to server-side development with Express, incorporating modern practices like JWT-based authentication and Prisma ORM for database management. A key addition is Docker, streamlining deployment with containerized applications. Learn to configure Express projects with Docker and deploy to AWS for scalable solutions. Updates include Vitest for testing, new React features like Suspense, and expanded content on Postgres and Prisma ORM. By the end of this book, you will have built and deployed a comprehensive full-stack application, ready for production.

1 Understanding TypeScript

JavaScript is an enormously popular and powerful language. According to GitHub’s State of the Octoverse 2022, it is the most popular language in the world. However, for large application development, its feature set is considered incomplete, and this is why TypeScript was created.In this chapter, we'll learn about the TypeScript language, why it was created, and what value it provides to JavaScript developers. We'll learn about the design philosophy Microsoft used in creating TypeScript and how these design decisions added important features for large application development.We'll also see how TypeScript enhances and improves JavaScript. We'll compare and contrast the JavaScript way of writing code with the way code is written in TypeScript.TypeScript has a wealth of cutting-edge features to benefit developers. Chief among them are static typing and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) capabilities. These features can help make code that is higher quality and easier to maintain.By the end of this chapter, you will understand how TypeScript provides additional features on top of JavaScript and makes writing large, complex applications easier and less prone to error.In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

  • What is TypeScript?
  • Why is TypeScript necessary?
