TypeScript with Node.js

“

- [Manny] When writing applications with Node.js, you may sometimes find yourself looking at your code and hoping you'd have better type checking, or cleaner code, or even better error prevention when building your Javascript applications. This is where TypeScript comes into play. A superset of Javascript that implements many coding best practices and type checking built in for improving your code syntax and writing styles. If you've been looking for such a tool, you've come to the right place, as we'll explore how to convert or write Node.js applications, leveraging TypeScript tools and framework. Hi, I'm Manny Henri. And it would be my pleasure to explore with you how best to leverage TypeScript into your Node.js applications. We'll first take a look at how to set up TypeScript into your Node.js application and some basic conventions. Then, we'll explore how to use types into Node.js and how to organize your application leveraging TypeScript. Next, we'll explore several useful tools to improve your Node.js code with TypeScript. And finally, we'll leave you with a few useful links to explore TypeScript further. So if you're ready to get started with TypeScript in Node.js, open up your favorite editor and let's get started.
