During the last internal meetup at Blumilk, our colleague Dawid Rudnik presented topics related to TypeScript - an extension of JavaScript that is gaining popularity in the world of programming. By introducing static typing, TypeScript allows developers to detect errors earlier, which translates into greater code stability and predictability.

Dawid discussed key aspects of TypeScript such as:

• Type Aliases – type aliases that facilitate the management of complex data structures,
• Interfaces – contracts defining the structure of objects in the code,
• Union Types – types that allow you to assign multiple values ​​to one variable,
• Utility Types – auxiliary types that speed up type operations,
• Enums – calculations allowing for better management of constant values,
• Generics – Generic types that allow you to create flexible functions and classes.

He also highlighted the practical applications of these features and pointed out both the advantages and potential pitfalls of using TypeScript in projects of various scales. The presentation highlighted in which cases TypeScript can significantly improve programming work, and when its use may not be optimal.

Thank you, Dawid for substantive contribution to the development of our team!

We have three more meetups this year! We are looking forward to it :)
