TypeScript Tutorial
JavaScript is the name that many people hear in web development community, but JavaScript is a subset of one
of the powerful scripting language, which is TypeScript. TypeScript provides more powerful features like
classes, inheritance, etc., of object oriented programming.
TypeScript has come to light when Angular team developers has opted TypeScript for JavaScript for its rich
features.
To work with typescript, NodeJS and TypeScript are required. You may use any text editor to create a .ts file
and use tsc command in cmd prompt to compile ts file to js file. One can also consider an IDE like Visual Studio
Code that could help write TypeScript with ease.
Install Node
Based on your OS version, you can download node from [https://nodejs.org/en/] and run the installer that
guides you through simple steps. To verify if node is installed, run node -v command in cmd prompt. node
command should echo the version of node that is installed.
Install TypeScript
With node installed, we get npm installed inclusively. Open a command prompt as administrator and run the
following command to install TypeScript compiler globally using npm :
TypeScript Tutorials
We are done with the environment setup for TypeScript. Now, we shall cover the different concepts in
TypeScript.
In these series of TypeScript tutorials, we will compile the typescript code (.ts) files to JavaScript code (.js)
files. So you can run these JavaScript files using node command or you can also include this code in a html file
and run in a browser. While you have an option, in these tutorials, we will provide you the both the outputs from
a browser and node execution.
Conditional statement executes a block of statement based on an expression’s value. The branching of this
execution can happen in many ways, and TypeScript provides statements for realizing this conditional
branching of execution flow :
Tutorial – TypeScript IF
Tutorial – TypeScript IF-ELSE
Tutorial – TypeScript SWITCH
Often it is required to execute a task repeatedly based on a condition. TypeScript provides for, while and do-
while to execute looping program structures.
In this TypeScript Tutorial, we have learnt what TypeScript is, what are its advantages over JavaScript, and
setup the environment for TypeScript Application development.
