Mastering TypeScript for Frontend Development

TypeScript has become an essential tool for modern frontend development. Its static typing system helps catch errors early and provides better tooling for developers.

Why TypeScript?

• Static typing
• Better IDE support
• Improved code quality
• Easier refactoring

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, which means any valid JavaScript code is also valid TypeScript code. This makes it easy to gradually adopt TypeScript in existing projects.

Basic Types

// Basic types
let isDone: boolean = false;
let decimal: number = 6;
let color: string = "blue";
let list: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
let x: [string, number] = ["hello", 10]; // Tuple

// Interfaces
interface User {
  name: string;
  id: number;
}

const user: User = {
  name: "Hayes",
  id: 0,
};
