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.
