A TypeScript app template project

By mvuilleu, in Programming, april 24,2026.

Building a web application, TypeScript is a clear step forward from JavaScript: its static type system catches a wide range of errors directly in your editor, before the code ever runs. But there is one drawback: browsers don't understand it natively, which means you'll need to set up a few tools...
