TypeScript Support

Starting with Smartface 6.15.2 release, developers will be able to implement their projects on TypeScript.

What is TypeScript​

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript which primarily provides optional static typing, classes and interfaces. One of the big benefits is to enable IDEs to provide a richer environment for spotting common errors as you type the code.

Why TypeScript​

Since TypeScript is a compiled language, developers will be able to overcome common problems much easier and collaborations will be easier since the functions, variables etc. will be type safe.

Benefits of TypeScript​

With TypeScript intelliSense, the developers will be able to observe every available property at ref.smartface.io.

Compile Error​

When something is wrong, the compiler will warn the developer on the spot.
