What is TypeScript?
TypeScript, in plain English.
TypeScript is JavaScript with a safety net. You write code the same way, but you also describe what kind of information each piece should hold: a price is a number, an email is text, a booking always has a date. Then the editor checks everything and flags mistakes immediately.
That matters most in larger projects. A custom application can have thousands of moving parts, and a small mismatch in one place can break something far away. TypeScript catches many of those problems while the code is being written, long before a customer runs into them.
It is free and open source, and was released by Microsoft in 2012. Browsers do not run it directly. It is converted to plain JavaScript first, so your visitors notice nothing, except that the application tends to be more dependable.
In our stack
Why we use TypeScript.
We write our custom applications in TypeScript, including the Reno restaurant directory platform. It catches mistakes early, which means fewer surprises after launch. It also keeps the code understandable, so the project is easier to extend as your needs grow.
Fewer Bugs
Many mistakes are caught while we build, not after your customers find them.
Easier to Extend
Clear rules in the code make adding features later safer and faster.
Built on JavaScript
It works with the tools the whole web already uses, so nothing is lost.
