TypeScript adds a safety layer on top of JavaScript without changing how the runtime behaves.
Why TypeScript matters
- Static analysis finds bugs before production
- Powerful tooling makes refactors less risky
- Gradual adoption lets you type only the files you care about
First steps
- Install TypeScript and configure
tsconfig.json - Rename a file to
.tsor.tsx - Start modeling the data contracts in your app
Once you're comfortable, enable stricter compiler checks and share types across your frontend and backend.
