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.

Getting started with TensorFlow in Vue

If you do not already have Vue installed, the first step is to install the Vue Command-Line Interface (CLI). This is installed using npm with the following command:

npm install -g @vue/cli

Creating our Vue-based application

Our TensorFlow application is going to run entirely in the client browser. This means that we need to write an application to host the TensorFlow functionality. We are going to use Vue to provide our client, so the following steps are needed to automatically build our Vue application.

Creating our client is as simple as running the vue create command, as follows:

vue create chapter09

This starts off the process of creating the application. There are a number of decision...
