TypeScript

TS Handbook & Effective Typescript Book are great intros. So as Execute Program & Total TypeScript courses too. Type Challenges is a nice test for TS knowledge.

TypeScript Error Translator is nice.

Run/bundle TS with Bun.

stc's TS type checker in Rust is exciting.

Notes

• TypeScript can figure the return type out by looking at the return statements, so we can also optionally leave this off in many cases
• You really shouldn’t use arrow function as class members. Arrow functions are duplicated in memory for each class instance, while proper method members are written once in your class’s prototype and shared between all instances.
• Unlike classes, an interface is a virtual structure that only exists within the context of TypeScript. The TypeScript compiler uses interfaces solely for type-checking purposes.
• any means “ignore the type”, unknown means “we don’t know the type”, which aren’t the same thing, and for better code you’d rather not know the type than ignore it.
• You can’t use unknown as a simple replacement for any, that wouldn’t make sense. unkwnown carries the implication that you should not use this variable other than passing it around. Or testing its type to get rid of the “unknown” state.
• Tuples are very useful for simulating multiple returns like React hooks, and other combined values that don't need string object keys
• TS generics are basically functions that you invoke with <> instead of ()... but without optional named param support... and a lot of other things that I would expect from a "function"
• If it’s hard to type via TypeScript, I should probably rethink my design.
• Properly name your generics. Generics are basically functions you give to developers to create parameterized types.
• noUncheckedIndexAccess config option is useful
• StrictNullChecks config option is useful
• Most TS devs want to get better at: 1. Quickly debugging/understanding complex TS errors. 2. Relying more on inference than declaration. 3. Removing any's from their codebase with smarter types.
