Typescript

Introduction

TypeScript is a typed language which produces javascript.

e.g.

let myString = "fred";
let myBoolean = true;

function createMessage(name:string) {

}

Typescript supports classes and access modifiers

class Person {
   
   name: string
   lastName: string
   
   public Person(name:string) {
       this.name = name;
   }

   public void setLastName(lastName: string) {
       this.lastName = lastName;
   }
}

tsconfig

You can set the options for the compiler you can specify a tsconfig.json file. By using

tsc --init

you get a default file.
