Sports News Combinator – Adding Features

In the previous chapter, we started on our first application, Sports News Combinator (SNC). We created a simple component to display a set of news articles on a page. We hardcoded our data and focused more on the basics of Angular and TypeScript. We covered types, type constructs, and type inference in TypeScript, and had a brief look at classes, Angular framework, and components.

The focus of the previous chapter was to get us off the ground and to look at some of the primary concepts. In this chapter, we are going to build on top of our application and look at some other features of TypeScript and Angular.

This chapter will focus on the following topics:

Functions in TypeScript: With types, the functions in TypeScript provide flexibility to set up rules.
Deep dive into classes and interfaces: We will look at the features of...

Key benefits

Begin with the fundamentals of TypeScript and learn how to write better JavaScript code

Build three amazing applications throughout the book

Leverage the power of tools such as Angular 2 and NativeScript to build for the web as well as for mobile

Description

The TypeScript language, compiler, and open source development toolset brings JavaScript development up to the enterprise level. It allows you to use ES5, ES6, and ES7 JavaScript language features today, including classes, interfaces, generics, modules, and more. Its simple typing syntax enables building large, robust applications using object-oriented techniques and industry-standard design principles. This book aims at teaching you how to get up and running with TypeScript development in the most practical way possible. Taking you through two exciting projects built from scratch, you will learn the basics of TypeScript, before progressing to functions, generics, promises, and callbacks. Then, you’ll get to implement object-oriented programming as well as optimize your applications with effective memory management. You’ll also learn to test and secure your applications, before deploying them. Starting with a basic SPA built using Angular, you will progress on to building, maybe, a Chat application or a cool application. You’ll also learn how to use NativeScript to build a cool mobile application. Each of these applications with be explained in detail, allowing you to grasp the concepts fast. By the end of this book, you will have not only built two amazing projects but you will also have the skills necessary to take your development to the next level.
