Add TypeScript to a JavaScript Project
Learn how to add TypeScript to an existing JavaScript project without rewriting everything. Install TypeScript, create a tsconfig, and start getting type safety file by file.
Type-safe JavaScript with TypeScript
Learn how to add TypeScript to an existing JavaScript project without rewriting everything. Install TypeScript, create a tsconfig, and start getting type safety file by file.
allowJs lets TypeScript accept .js files as inputs alongside .ts files. Learn how to enable it, when to use it, and how it helps incremental migration.
checkJs enables type checking in JavaScript files. Learn how to enable it, what errors it surfaces, and when to use it during migration.
A practical step-by-step guide to migrating a JavaScript project to TypeScript. Start with compiler setup, add types gradually, and tighten checks over time.
Learn how to add TypeScript type annotations to existing JavaScript functions. Read the function body to infer types, add parameter and return types, and handle tricky patterns.
Learn how to safely type dynamic values from API responses, JSON parsing, user input, and third-party code. Use unknown, type guards, and runtime validation.
A systematic approach to finding and replacing `any` types during JavaScript-to-TypeScript migration. Learn strategies per context and how to tighten types over time.
Avoid the most common mistakes when migrating JavaScript to TypeScript. Learn what goes wrong, why it happens, and how to fix each issue during migration.
Required<T> removes the optional modifier from every property in a type, making all fields mandatory. Use it when optional defaults are not enough and you need every field present.
Omit creates a new type by removing specific properties from an existing type. Use it when it is easier to say what to exclude than what to include.
Record builds an object type where every key has the same value type. Use it for lookup maps, dictionaries, and any object with a known set of keys.
ReturnType<T> extracts the return type of a function type. Use it to capture a function's output type without duplicating the type annotation.
