TypeScript

TypeScript is an open-source programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing to the language.

TypeScript is designed for development of large applications and transcompiles to JavaScript. As TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, existing JavaScript programs are also valid TypeScript programs. TypeScript may be used to develop JavaScript applications for both client-side and server-side.

To get started with TypeScript installation, you need to first install Node.js in your system.

Node.js

Install Node.js https://nodejs.org/en/download/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. Historically, JavaScript was used primarily for client-side scripting, in which scripts written in JavaScript are embedded in a webpage's HTML and run client-side by a JavaScript engine in the user's web browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write Command Line tools and for server-side scripting-running scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser. Consequently, Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server side and client side scripts.

Installation

https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Alternatively, for Node.js 10:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

You can check that Node.js was installed correctly by executing the following command in Bash:

node -v

Node package manager - npm

The Node.js installer will install the node command in your machine but it will also install the Node package manager (npm) command. You can also test that npm has been installed correctly by executing the following command:

npm -v

We can use the npm command to install third-party Node.js packages. The npm command allows us to install a few different kinds of dependencies:

• Global dependencies (shared across projects)
• Dependencies (local, not shared across projects and needed during the execution of the application, or in other words after development)
• Development dependencies (local, not shared across the project and needed only during development)

We can install npm dependencies using the following commands:

• Install a global dependency:

npm install -g NAME_OF_THE_DEPENDENCY

• Install a local dependency:

npm install --save NAME_OF_THE_DEPENDENCY

• Install a local development dependency:

npm install --save-dev NAME_OF_THE_DEPENDENCY

You can learn more about npm by reading the official documentation at https://docs.npmjs.com

Installing TypeScript and ts-node

TypeScript and ts-node can be installed using the Node Package Manager (NPM). We will install them as global dependencies:

npm install -g typescript
npm install -g ts-node

Because we have installed both dependencies as global dependencies these will be shared across all projects in our computer. This means that we only need to run these commands once.

You can learn more about npm by reading the official documentation at https://docs.npmjs.com

After installingTypeScript, the command tsc should become available:

tsc -v

Also:

ts-node -v

Git Bash in Windows

Si estamos en Windows, tenemos que instalar Git Bash in Windows; que es tan sólo un terminal Bash en Windows.

Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and macOS. It includes support for debugging, embedded Git control, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, and code refactoring.

Creating a new TypeScript project

Each new TypeScript project requires a new empty folder. It is recommended to create a new folder under your home directory. I call this directory "CODE" and inside it, I create a new empty folder for each project.

A TypeScript project could be a Node.js project but it could also not be a Node.js project. For example, it could be an Angular or React.js project. In this section, we are going to focus on the steps required to create a TypeScript project independently of the kind of application that we will build.

All our TypeScript projects are going to need the following:

• A new empty directory

• A TypeScript compiler configuration file (tsconfig.json)

tsc --init

• An npm configuration file (package.json)

Compilation

Para preparar el directorio, primero hay que ejecutar:

tsc --init

npm init
npm init --y  (podemos ejecutarlo así para responder (yes) automáticamente a las preguntas.

Luego:

npm install @types/node

npm install jquery

tsc -p tsconfig.json

node demo.js

ts-node demo.ts
