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.

  • bootstrap
  • bingmaps
  • firebase
  • guid-typescript

Since we are going to be hooking our code up to cloud-based services, we will have to sign up to them first. In this section, we will look at what we need to do to sign up.

Signing up to Bing mapping

If we want to use Bing Maps, we have to sign up to Bing Map Services. Navigate to https://www.bingmapsportal.com and click the Sign in button. This requires a Windows...
