Learn Typescript with me - Part 2

In our previous article we learnt the basics of typescript, if you haven't read it please do before reading this.

1- Learn typescript with me - 1

ENUM

Enums provide a way to define a set of named constants. By default Enum values start with 0, but we can override them.

enum Color { Red = "RED", Green = "GREEN", Blue = "BLUE", };

const getColorMessage = (color: Color): string => { 
      return You selected ${color};
 }; 

console.log(getColorMessage(Color.Red));

Arrays

Arrays in typescript allow you to define collections of elements of the same types, you can think of them like list of some sort even in python it is called a list type.

const numbers: number[] = [1, 2, 3, 4];

numbers.push(5);

console.log(numbers);

now if I try to add a string in numbers array typescript will complain

number.push("five") // type string is not assignable to type number
Copy after login

Tuple

Tuples are a special array type in typescript that allow you to define an array with fixed sizes and types. Tuples are used where we exactly know the shape of our data, then by using tuples we will have performance gains in reading the data.

const user: [number, string] = [1, "Alice"];

console.log(user);
Copy after login

Object

Objects in typescript allow you to define the structure of an object with types. We can type object like this, more on objects in type alias topic

const user: { id: number; name: string } = { id: 1, name: "Alice" }; 

console.log(user.name);
Copy after login

Type Alias

Type aliases allow you to define custom types in typescript for better code reuse and readability. Now we can type our object as Type Alias UserType

Note: Don't use words like type in your real projects.

type UserType = { id: number; name: string; };

const user: UserType = { id: 1, name: "Alice" };

console.log(user.id);
Copy after login

Optional Properties

Optional properties allow you to define object properties that may or may not exist. In our previous example if we thought that the user will only have id and name may or may not exist. We can add ? before : to denote that this is an optional properties

type UserType = { id: number; name?: string; };

const user: User = { id: 1 };

console.log(user.name ?? "Name not provided");
Copy after login

Narrowing / Type Guard

Type guard allows you to narrow the type of a value within a specific block of code. So as we know our user have name as an optional property, if we now try to print the name of user it will show undefined which we don't want to show to our customers so we make sure the user name is a string before showing it

if (typeof user.name == 'undefined') {
   console.log("Welcome", user.name)
}  else {
   console.log("Welcome Guest")
}
Copy after login

Okay folks in our next article we will start covering functions and type assertions.

Demystifying JavaScript: What It Does and Why It Matters Demystifying JavaScript: What It Does and Why It Matters Apr 09, 2025 am 12:07 AM

JavaScript is the cornerstone of modern web development, and its main functions include event-driven programming, dynamic content generation and asynchronous programming. 1) Event-driven programming allows web pages to change dynamically according to user operations. 2) Dynamic content generation allows page content to be adjusted according to conditions. 3) Asynchronous programming ensures that the user interface is not blocked. JavaScript is widely used in web interaction, single-page application and server-side development, greatly improving the flexibility of user experience and cross-platform development.

The Evolution of JavaScript: Current Trends and Future Prospects The Evolution of JavaScript: Current Trends and Future Prospects Apr 10, 2025 am 09:33 AM

The latest trends in JavaScript include the rise of TypeScript, the popularity of modern frameworks and libraries, and the application of WebAssembly. Future prospects cover more powerful type systems, the development of server-side JavaScript, the expansion of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the potential of IoT and edge computing.

JavaScript Engines: Comparing Implementations JavaScript Engines: Comparing Implementations Apr 13, 2025 am 12:05 AM

Different JavaScript engines have different effects when parsing and executing JavaScript code, because the implementation principles and optimization strategies of each engine differ. 1. Lexical analysis: convert source code into lexical unit. 2. Grammar analysis: Generate an abstract syntax tree. 3. Optimization and compilation: Generate machine code through the JIT compiler. 4. Execute: Run the machine code. V8 engine optimizes through instant compilation and hidden class, SpiderMonkey uses a type inference system, resulting in different performance performance on the same code.

Python vs. JavaScript: The Learning Curve and Ease of Use Python vs. JavaScript: The Learning Curve and Ease of Use Apr 16, 2025 am 12:12 AM

Python is more suitable for beginners, with a smooth learning curve and concise syntax; JavaScript is suitable for front-end development, with a steep learning curve and flexible syntax. 1. Python syntax is intuitive and suitable for data science and back-end development. 2. JavaScript is flexible and widely used in front-end and server-side programming.

JavaScript: Exploring the Versatility of a Web Language JavaScript: Exploring the Versatility of a Web Language Apr 11, 2025 am 12:01 AM

JavaScript is the core language of modern web development and is widely used for its diversity and flexibility. 1) Front-end development: build dynamic web pages and single-page applications through DOM operations and modern frameworks (such as React, Vue.js, Angular). 2) Server-side development: Node.js uses a non-blocking I/O model to handle high concurrency and real-time applications. 3) Mobile and desktop application development: cross-platform development is realized through ReactNative and Electron to improve development efficiency.

From C/C   to JavaScript: How It All Works From C/C to JavaScript: How It All Works Apr 14, 2025 am 12:05 AM

The shift from C/C to JavaScript requires adapting to dynamic typing, garbage collection and asynchronous programming. 1) C/C is a statically typed language that requires manual memory management, while JavaScript is dynamically typed and garbage collection is automatically processed. 2) C/C needs to be compiled into machine code, while JavaScript is an interpreted language. 3) JavaScript introduces concepts such as closures, prototype chains and Promise, which enhances flexibility and asynchronous programming capabilities.
