Overview of this book

By learning TypeScript, you can start writing cleaner, more readable code that’s easier to understand and less likely to contain bugs. What’s not to like? It’s certainly an appealing prospect, but learning a new language can be challenging, and it’s not always easy to know where to begin. This book is the perfect place to start. It provides the ideal platform for JavaScript programmers to practice writing eloquent, productive TypeScript code. Unlike many theory-heavy books, The TypeScript Workshop balances clear explanations with opportunities for hands-on practice. You’ll quickly be up and running building functional websites, without having to wade through pages and pages of history and dull, dry fluff. Guided exercises clearly demonstrate how key concepts are used in the real world, and each chapter is rounded off with an activity that challenges you to apply your new knowledge in the context of a realistic scenario. Whether you’re a hobbyist eager to get cracking on your next project, or a professional developer looking to unlock your next promotion, pick up a copy and make a start! Whatever your motivation, by the end of this book, you’ll have the confidence and understanding to make it happen with TypeScript.

Preface

6. Advanced Types

Overview

This chapter introduces you to advanced types. You will start with the building blocks of advanced types – type alias, string, and number literals. This will allow you to gain a better understanding as you take on more complex concepts such as union types. You will also learn how you can combine types to build more complex types, such as intersections. Using advanced types, this chapter teaches you how to write code that is easier to understand for yourself and any others working with you or who are inheriting the project. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to build advanced types by combining primitive types, such as strings, numbers, and Booleans, with objects.
