The presentation helps us in understanding the different concepts associated with TypeScript. What is TypeScript? Why is TypeScript used and the different applications of TypeScript. For more information you can simply visit: http://mobile.folio3.com/

10. TypeScript Demo
• Basic Types
• Any Type
• Interfaces
• Classes
• Modules
• Generics
• Mixins

11. var n: number;
var a; // no type -> Any
var s = "Max"; // Contextual typing -> string
n = 5; // valid because 5 is a number
a = 5; // valid because a is of type Any
a = "Hello"; // valid because a is of type Any
n = "Hello"; // compile time error because
// "Hello" is not a number
Type Basics
Any
Primitive Types
Number
Boolean
String
Contextual typing
Determine result type
from expressions
automatically

12. var person = function (age: number) {
this.age = age;
this.growOld = function () {
this.age++;
alert(this.age);
}
this.growOldL = () => {
this.age++;
alert(this.age);
}
}
var p = new person(1);
setTimeout(p.growOldL, 100);
setTimeout(alert(p.age), 100);
Type Basics
Lambda Function
aka. Arrow function
• Eliminates the needs
for typing function
over and over again.
• Lexically captures
the meaning of this

13. function getAverage(a: number, b: number, c?: number) {
var total = a + b;
if (c)
total = total + c;
return total;
}
function getAverages(...a: number[]):number {
var total = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
total += a[i];
}
return total;
}
Type Basics
Functions
Optional Parameters
Default Parameters
Rest Parameters
Rest parameters allow
caller to specify zero or
more arguments of the
specified type.

14. function getTotal(a: string, b: string, c: string): number;
function getTotal(a: number, b: number, c: number): number;
function getTotal(a: number, b: string, c: number): number;
// implementation signature
function getTotal(a: any, b: any, c?: any): number {
var total = parseInt(a, 10) + parseInt(b, 10) + parseInt(c,
10);
return total;
}
var result = getTotal(2, 2, 2);
alert(result);
Type Basics
Functions
• Overloading

15. interface IStudent {
id: number;
name: string;
onLeave?: boolean;
}
function printStudent(s: IStudent) {
}
// Describing function types
interface searchFunction {
(source: string, subString: string):boolean
}
var searchFunctionImpl: searchFunction = function (s, ss)
{
return true;
}
Type Basics
Interfaces
Interface can be used as
an abstract
type that can be
implemented by
concrete classes, but
they can also be used to
define any structure in
your TypeScript
program.
Interfaces are also
capable of describing
function types.

16. abstract class A {
foo(): number { return this.bar(); }
abstract bar(): number;
}
// error, Cannot create an instance of the abstract class 'A'
var a = new A();
class B extends A {
bar() { return 1; }
}
var b = new b(); // success, all abstracts are defined
Type Basics
Abstract Classes (v 1.6,
Sept 16th)
Similar in some ways to
interfaces, abstract
classes give you a way
of creating a base class,
complete with default
implementations

17. class Student {
private name: string;
constructor(name: string, age: number) {
this.name = name;
}
print() {
alert(this.name);
}
}
TODO: Static Types
Type Basics
Classes
TypeScript classes
become JavaScript
pseudo-classes
http://javascript.info/tutorial/pseudo-classical-pattern
Enforcement of private
variables is at runtime
only.

18. class Animal {
Name: string;
constructor(name: string) {
this.Name = name;
}
move(meters = 0) {
alert(this.Name + " moved " + meters);
}
}
class Snake extends Animal {
}
class MyStudent implements IStudent {
id: number;
name: string;
onLeave: boolean;
}
Type Basics
Types of Class
Heritage
Implements & Extends
There are two types of
class heritage in
TypeScript. A class can
implement an interface
using the implements
keyword
and a class can inherit
from another class using
the extends keyword.

19. // Internal Modules.
module Shipping {
export interface Ship {
name: string;
tons: number;
}
export class NewShip implements Ship {
name = "New Ship";
tons = 500;
}
}
// Splitting into multiple files.
/// <reference path=“Shipping.ts" />
tsc --out all.js app1.ts
Type Basics
Modules
Gives you various ways
to organize your code in
TypeScript.
1. Internal Modules
2. External Modules

20. // External Modules.
export class Ship {
name = "New Ship";
tons = 500;
}
// ---------------------------------
import Shipping = require('Ship')
var s = new Shipping.Ship();
// ---------------------------------
tsc --module commonjs app1.ts
tsc --module amd app1.ts
Type Basics
Modules
External Modules
• AMD using RequireJs
• CommonJs

21. class MyContainer<T> {
private array: T[];
constructor(array: T[]) {
this.array = array;
}
add(item: T) {
this.array.push(item);
}
}
var strContainer = new MyContainer<number>([1]);
strContainer.add(2);
Type Basics
Generics
Gives you the ablility to
create a component that
can work over a variety
of types rather than a
single one.
Generic Constraints

22. $('#id').html('TypeScript complains that $ is undefined');
Type Basics
Ambient Declarations
Ambient declarations
can be used to add type
information to existing
JavaScript. Commonly,
this would mean
adding type information
for your own existing
code, or for a third-
party library that you
want to consume in
your TypeScript
program.
