Key Features

• Explore TypeScript 4's key elements and advanced language features
• Use TypeScript with modern frameworks such as Angular, Vue, React, RxJS and Node
• Understand TDD, serverless techniques, micro frontends, and other industry-standard best practices to create high-quality and modular apps

Book Description

TypeScript is both a language and a set of tools to generate JavaScript. It was designed by Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft developers to help write enterprise-scale JavaScript.

Using a fast-paced, but easy-to-follow set of code samples, this fourth edition will get you up and running with Typescript quickly, introduce core concepts, and then build on this knowledge to help you understand and then apply more advanced language features.

Mastering TypeScript, Fourth Edition also covers a variety of modern JavaScript and TypeScript and frameworks compares their respective strengths and weaknesses. As you advance through this TypeScript book, you'll explore Angular, React, Vue, RxJs, Express, NodeJS, and others. You'll get up to speed with unit and integration testing, data transformation, serverless technologies, and asynchronous programming. You'll also learn how to integrate with existing JavaScript libraries, control your compiler options, and use decorators and узагальнення.

By the end of the book, you will have built a comprehensive set of web applications using Angular, React, and Vue, having integrated them into a single cohesive сайті, using micro front-end techniques. Mastering TypeScript, Fourth Edition is about the language learning, understanding when to apply its features and then selecting the framework that is the perfect fit for your real-world project.
