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.

Summary

In this chapter, we have reached the conclusion of projects that work with Angular, which we introduced using cloud services from Microsoft and Google in the form of Bing Maps and Firebase cloud services for storing data. We signed up to these services and obtained the relevant information from them in order to set up client access to them. In the course of writing our code, we have created classes to work with the Firestore database and interact with Bing Maps to do things such as search for addresses based on user clicks, leading to us adding pins to a map, as well as searching for coffee shops using Local Insights.

Continuing our journey of TypeScript, we introduced rest tuples. We also saw how to add code to Angular components to react to browser host events.

In the next chapter, we are going to revisit React. This time, we will be creating a limited microservice CRM...
