Leaning TypeScript

My annotations about TypeScript.

Commands:

  • initialize a npm empty package (package.json)
npm init -y

Wrote to C:\TypeScript\package.json:

{
  "name": "typescript",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

  • typescript configuration

Created a new tsconfig.json with:
                                                                                                         TS
  target: es2016
  module: commonjs
  strict: true
  esModuleInterop: true
  skipLibCheck: true
  forceConsistentCasingInFileNames: true

    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "build": "tsc"
