TypeScript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds a static type system to the language, allowing a large proportion of errors to be detected from the development phase.
It makes the code more readable, easier to maintain, and better documented, making it a de facto standard in the majority of modern front-end and back-end projects.

TypeScript in practice

Why TypeScript has become the norm

  • Error detection at the time of writing, not in production.
  • Powerful auto-completion and navigation in the IDE.
  • Living documentation via types.
  • Adopted by all major frameworks: React, Vue, Angular, Next.js.

Best practices

  • Enable strict: trueintsconfig.jsonfrom the outset.
  • Rigorously type the boundaries (API, database), with more flexibility internally.
  • Use Zod or Valibot to validate external data at runtime.

Caveats

  • Types do not replace tests: they detect one class of errors, not all.
  • On existing JavaScript, migrate gradually rather than all at once.
