A detailed and easy-to-follow guide to help you improve your TypeScript development skills and enable you to solve application design problems using modern practices
Key Features
- Identify common gotchas and antipatterns when developing TypeScript applications and understand how to avoid them
- Discover expert techniques and best practices in developing large-scale TypeScript applications
- Explore advanced design patterns taken from functional programming and reactive programming
Book Description
Design patterns are critical armor for every developer to build maintainable apps. TypeScript 4 Design Patterns and Best Practices is a one-stop guide to help you learn design patterns and practices to develop scalable TypeScript applications. It will also serve as handy documentation for future maintainers.
This book takes a hands-on approach to help you get up and running with the implementation of TypeScript design patterns and associated methodologies for writing testable code. You'll start by exploring the practical aspects of TypeScript 4 and its new features. The book will then take you through the traditional gang of four (GOF) design patterns in their classic and alternative form and show you how to use them in real-world development projects. Once you've got to grips with traditional design patterns, you'll advance to learning about their functional programming and reactive programming counterparts and how to couple them to deliver better and more idiomatic TypeScript code.
By the end of this TypeScript book, you'll be able to efficiently recognize when and how to use the right design patterns in any practical use case and gain the confidence to work on scalable and maintainable TypeScript projects of any size.
What you will learn
- Understand the role of design patterns and their significance
- Explore all significant design patterns within the context of TypeScript
- Analyze, and develop classical design patterns in TypeScript
- Find out how design patterns differ from design concepts
- Understand how to put the principles of design patterns into practice
- Discover additional patterns that stem from functional and reactive programming
Who this book is for
If you're a TypeScript developer looking to learn how to apply established design patterns to solve common programming problems instead of reinventing solutions, you'll find this book useful. You're not expected to have prior knowledge of design patterns. Basic TypeScript knowledge is all you need to get started with this book.
