From Fundamentals to Intermediate Techniques for Effective Development


Beginner Level:
Understand JavaScript Fundamentals:
JavaScript fundamentals include knowledge of variables, data types, functions, objects, arrays, and control flow.

// Variables let x = 5; const y = "Hello";  // Data Types let num = 10; // Number let str = "Hello"; // String let bool = true; // Boolean let arr = [1, 2, 3]; // Array let obj = { name: "sadanandgadwal", age: 23 }; // Object  // Functions function greet(name) {   return "Hello, " + name + "!"; } console.log(greet("sadanandgadwal")); // Output: Hello, sadanandgadwal!  // Objects let person = {   name: "sadanandgadwal",   age: 23,   greet: function() {     return "Hello, " + this.name + "!";   } }; console.log(person.greet()); // Output: Hello, sadanandgadwal!

Introduction to TypeScript:
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds optional static typing, interfaces, classes, and modules among other features.

// Define a function named greet that takes a parameter 'name' of type string and returns a string. function greet(name: string): string {   return "Hello, " + name + "!"; }  // Call the greet function with the argument "sadanandgadwal" and log the returned value to the console. console.log(greet("sadanandgadwal")); // Output: Hello, sadanandgadwal!  // Define an interface named Person which specifies that any object implementing it must have a 'name' property of type string and an 'age' property of type number. interface Person {   name: string;   age: number; }  // Define a function named greetPerson that takes a parameter 'person' of type Person interface and returns a string. function greetPerson(person: Person): string {   return "Hello, " + person.name + "!"; }  // Call the greetPerson function with an object that satisfies the Person interface, and log the returned value to the console. console.log(greetPerson({ name: "sadanandgadwal", age: 23 })); // Output: Hello, sadanandgadwal!

Setting Up Development Environment:
Setting up the development environment involves installing Node.js and npm and configuring a TypeScript compiler like tsc.

# Install Node.js and npm # Download and install from https://nodejs.org/  # Install TypeScript globally npm install -g typescript  # Create a TypeScript file (example.ts) # Run the TypeScript compiler to generate JavaScript tsc example.ts

Basic TypeScript Syntax:
Basic TypeScript syntax includes declaring variables with types, understanding type inference, and using basic type annotations and assertions.

// Variable Declaration let x: number = 5; // Declare a variable 'x' of type number and assign it the value 5. const y: string = "Hello"; // Declare a constant 'y' of type string and assign it the value "Hello".  // Type Inference let num = 10; // TypeScript infers the type of 'num' as 'number' based on its initial value. let str = "Hello"; // TypeScript infers the type of 'str' as 'string' based on its initial value.  // Basic Type Annotations and Assertions let z: boolean; // Declare a variable 'z' of type boolean. z = true; // Assign the value true to the variable 'z'.  // Type Assertion let someValue: any = "this is a string"; // Declare a variable 'someValue' of type 'any' and assign it a string value. let strLength: number = (someValue as string).length; // Assert that 'someValue' is of type string and then access its length property. // Alternatively, you could use angle bracket syntax: let strLength: number = (<string>someValue).length;  console.log(x); // Output: 5 console.log(y); // Output: Hello console.log(num); // Output: 10 console.log(str); // Output: Hello console.log(z); // Output: true console.log(strLength); // Output: 16

Functions and Interfaces:
In TypeScript, you can define function types and use interfaces to define object shapes and enforce contracts.

// Function Types // Define a type alias named GreetFunction representing a function that takes a 'name' parameter of type 'string' and returns a 'string'. type GreetFunction = (name: string) => string;  // Declare a variable 'greet' of type 'GreetFunction' and assign it a function expression that matches the defined function type. let greet: GreetFunction = function(name: string) {   return "Hello, " + name + "!"; };  // Call the 'greet' function with the argument "sadanandgadwal" and log the returned value to the console. console.log(greet("sadanandgadwal")); // Output: Hello, sadanandgadwal!  // Interface // Define an interface named 'Person' with properties 'name' of type 'string' and 'age' of type 'number'. interface Person {   name: string;   age: number; }  // Define a function named 'greetPerson' that takes a parameter 'person' of type 'Person' interface and returns a 'string'. function greetPerson(person: Person): string {   return "Hello, " + person.name + "!"; }  // Call the 'greetPerson' function with an object that satisfies the 'Person' interface, and log the returned value to the console. console.log(greetPerson({ name: "sadanandgadwal", age: 23 })); // Output: Hello, sadanandgadwal!

Working with Classes:
Classes and inheritance in TypeScript allow you to create blueprints for objects with methods and properties.

// Class class Person {   // Define properties 'name' and 'age'.   name: string;   age: number;    // Define a constructor function that initializes 'name' and 'age' properties when a new object is created.   constructor(name: string, age: number) {     this.name = name;     this.age = age;   }    // Define a method named 'greet' that returns a greeting message using the 'name' property.   greet(): string {     return "Hello, " + this.name + "!";   } }  // Create a new instance of the 'Person' class with name "sadanandgadwal" and age 23. let person = new Person("sadanandgadwal", 23);  // Call the 'greet' method of the 'person' object and log the returned value to the console. console.log(person.greet()); // Output: Hello, sadanandgadwal!

Intermediate Level (Continued):
Advanced Types:
Advanced types in TypeScript include union types, intersection types, type aliases, conditional types, etc.

// Union Types // Declare a variable 'val' that can hold values of type 'number' or 'string'. let val: number | string; val = 10; // Assign a number to 'val' (valid). val = "Hello"; // Assign a string to 'val' (valid). // val = true; // Error: Type 'boolean' is not assignable to type 'number | string'  // Intersection Types // Define two interfaces 'A' and 'B' with different properties. interface A {   propA: number; } interface B {   propB: string; } // Create a new type 'C' which is an intersection of types 'A' and 'B'. type C = A & B; // Declare a variable 'obj' of type 'C' and assign an object with properties from both interfaces. let obj: C = { propA: 10, propB: "Hello" };  // Conditional Types // Define a conditional type 'TypeName<T>' which returns different strings based on the type of 'T'. type TypeName<T> = T extends string ? "string" :                    T extends number ? "number" :                    T extends boolean ? "boolean" :                    "unknown"; // Declare variables of type 'TypeName' with different type arguments and assign them values. let a: TypeName<string> = "string"; // Output: "string" let b: TypeName<number> = "number"; // Output: "number" let c: TypeName<boolean> = "boolean"; // Output: "boolean" let d: TypeName<object> = "unknown"; // Output: "unknown"  console.log(val); // Output: Hello console.log(obj); // Output: { propA: 10, propB: "Hello" } console.log(a);   // Output: string console.log(b);   // Output: number console.log(c);   // Output: boolean console.log(d);   // Output: unknown

Generics:
Generics allow you to write reusable, type-safe functions, interfaces, and classes.

// Generic Function // Define a generic function 'identity' that takes an argument 'arg' of type 'T' and returns the same type 'T'. function identity<T>(arg: T): T {   return arg; } // Call the 'identity' function with a number and assign the result to 'num'. let num: number = identity(10); // Output: 10 // Call the 'identity' function with a string and assign the result to 'str'. let str: string = identity("Hello"); // Output: "Hello"  // Generic Interface // Define a generic interface 'Box<T>' with a single property 'value' of type 'T'. interface Box<T> {   value: T; } // Create a variable 'box' of type 'Box<number>' and assign an object with a 'value' property of type number. let box: Box<number> = { value: 10 };  // Generic Class // Define a generic class 'Pair<T, U>' with two properties 'first' of type 'T' and 'second' of type 'U'. class Pair<T, U> {   constructor(public first: T, public second: U) {} } // Create an instance 'pair' of the 'Pair<number, string>' class with values 10 and "Hello". let pair: Pair<number, string> = new Pair(10, "Hello");  console.log(num); // Output: 10 console.log(str); // Output: Hello console.log(box); // Output: { value: 10 } console.log(pair); // Output: Pair { first: 10, second: "Hello" }

Modules and Namespaces:
Modules in TypeScript allow you to organize code into reusable units. Namespaces provide a way to logically group related code.

// math.ts // Define a function 'sum' in the module 'math' that takes two numbers and returns their sum. export function sum(a: number, b: number): number {   return a + b; }  // app.ts // Import the 'sum' function from the 'math' module. import { sum } from "./math"; // Call the 'sum' function and log the result to the console. console.log(sum(2, 3)); // Output: 5  // namespace // Define a namespace 'Math' containing a function 'sum' that calculates the sum of two numbers. namespace Math {   export function sum(a: number, b: number): number {     return a + b;   } }  // app.ts /// <reference path="math.ts" /> // Use the 'sum' function from the 'Math' namespace and log the result to the console. console.log(Math.sum(2, 3)); // Output: 5

Decorators:
Decorators are a feature of TypeScript that allow you to attach metadata to classes, methods, and properties.

// Class Decorator // Define a class decorator 'Logged' that takes a target function. function Logged(target: Function) {   // Log a message indicating that the class has been logged.   console.log("Class logged:", target); }  // Apply the 'Logged' decorator to the 'MyClass' class. @Logged class MyClass {}  // Method Decorator // Define a method decorator 'Log' that takes target, key, and descriptor arguments. function Log(target: any, key: string, descriptor: PropertyDescriptor) {   // Log a message indicating that the method has been logged.   console.log("Method logged:", key); }  // Define a class 'MyService'. class MyService {   // Apply the 'Log' decorator to the 'getData' method.   @Log   getData() {} }  // Property Decorator // Define a property decorator factory 'Configurable' that takes a boolean value. function Configurable(value: boolean) {   return function(target: any, propertyKey: string) {     // Define the property with configurable set to the provided value.     Object.defineProperty(target, propertyKey, {       configurable: value     });   }; }  // Define a class 'MyComponent'. class MyComponent {   // Apply the 'Configurable' decorator to the 'apiUrl' property with configurable set to false.   @Configurable(false)   apiUrl = "https://example.com"; }  // Console output console.log(MyClass); new MyService().getData(); console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(MyComponent.prototype, "apiUrl"));

Error Handling:
Understanding how TypeScript handles errors and exceptions, including synchronous and asynchronous error handling strategies.

// Synchronous Error Handling // Define a function 'divide' that takes two numbers and returns the result of dividing the first number by the second number. function divide(x: number, y: number): number {   // Check if the second number is zero.   if (y === 0) {     // If it is zero, throw an error with a message.     throw new Error("Division by zero");   }   // If the second number is not zero, perform the division and return the result.   return x / y; }  // Use a try-catch block to handle errors that may occur during the execution of the 'divide' function. try {   // Call the 'divide' function with arguments 10 and 0.   console.log(divide(10, 0)); // Output: Error: Division by zero } catch (error) {   // If an error occurs, log the error message to the console.   console.error(error.message); }  // Asynchronous Error Handling // Define an asynchronous function 'fetchData' that fetches data from a remote URL. async function fetchData() {   try {     // Attempt to fetch data from the specified URL.     let response = await fetch("https://example.com/data");     // Check if the response is OK.     if (!response.ok) {       // If the response is not OK, throw an error with a message.       throw new Error("Failed to fetch data");     }     // If the response is OK, parse the JSON data.     let data = await response.json();     // Log the parsed data to the console.     console.log(data);   } catch (error) {     // If an error occurs during the fetch operation or parsing, log the error message to the console.     console.error(error.message);   } }  // Call the 'fetchData' function to initiate the asynchronous data fetching process. fetchData();
