  4. Expert Characteristics
  5. Conclusion

Basic Characteristics

  1. Static Typing: Unlike JavaScript, TypeScript enforces type safety, preventing runtime type-related errors.
  2. Type Annotations: Developers can explicitly define variable and function return types.
  3. Compilation to JavaScript: TypeScript is transpiled to JavaScript using tsc (TypeScript Compiler).
  4. ES6+ Features Support: Supports modern JavaScript syntax and compiles it down to ES5 if needed.
  5. Basic Type System:
    • number, string, boolean, null, undefined, any, void
    • Arrays: number[], Array<string>
    • Tuples: [string, number]
    • Enums: enum Colors { Red, Green, Blue }
  6. Function Typing:
    function add(a: number, b: number): number {
        return a + b;
    }
  7. Interfaces: Contracts for object shapes.
    interface User {
        id: number;
        name: string;
    }

Medium Characteristics

  1. Union and Intersection Types:
    type ID = string | number;
    type Employee = { id: number } & { name: string };
  2. Optional and Readonly Properties:
    interface Config {
        readonly apiKey: string;
        timeout?: number;
    }
  3. Generics:
    function identity<T>(arg: T): T {
        return arg;
    }
  4. Type Inference: TypeScript can infer types without explicit annotations.
  5. Enums with Custom Values:
    enum StatusCode {
        Success = 200,
        NotFound = 404,
    }
  6. Type Guards:
    function isNumber(value: any): value is number {
        return typeof value === 'number';
    }

Advanced Characteristics

  1. Mapped Types:
    type Readonly<T> = { readonly [K in keyof T]: T[K] };
  2. Conditional Types:
    type IsString<T> = T extends string ? true : false;
  3. Discriminated Unions (for better type narrowing):
    interface Circle {
        kind: "circle";
        radius: number;
    }
    interface Square {
        kind: "square";
        side: number;
    }
    type Shape = Circle | Square;
    function getArea(shape: Shape) {
        if (shape.kind === "circle") {
            return Math.PI * shape.radius ** 2;
        }
    }
  4. Decorators (Experimental Feature in Angular and NestJS):
    function Log(target: any, key: string) {
        console.log(`Calling method ${key}`);
    }
    class Example {
        @Log
        greet() {
            console.log("Hello");
        }
    }
  5. Utility Types (Partial, Required, Readonly, Pick, Omit)
    type PartialUser = Partial<{ id: number; name: string }>
  6. Namespace and Module Resolution for Large-Scale Projects

Expert Characteristics

  1. Abstract Classes and Advanced Object-Oriented Features
    abstract class Animal {
        abstract makeSound(): void;
    }
  2. Deep Type Inference with Conditional Types
    type InferType<T> = T extends { type: infer U } ? U : never;
  3. Deeply Nested Type Checking and Recursive Types
    type JSONValue = string | number | boolean | { [x: string]: JSONValue };
  4. Module Federation in Large Applications (Micro Frontends with Angular/Nx)
  5. TypeScript Compiler Internals (TSConfig, Custom Transformers)
    • strict: Enables strict type checking
    • moduleResolution: Determines how modules are resolved
  6. Performance Optimizations with tsc and Babel
  7. Type-Driven Development (TDD with TypeScript in Enterprise)
  8. Applying TypeScript in Full-Stack Development (Angular, NestJS, Deno)

Conclusion

TypeScript provides a strong foundation for scalable JavaScript applications. By mastering the expert-level features, developers can enhance maintainability, performance, and architecture for enterprise-level software solutions.
