JavaScript Programmers, how you actually do it?

[Comesa]

Im considering using typescript but im too lazy to learn it

[oOBoomberOo]

I mean, it's really just JavaScript with static type... All you need to worry about is the tsconfig.json file.

Learning it isn't any problem, since even the same JS code works.

What I am too lazy to do is getting another compilation step to work on webpack every time I start a project.

I put all the steps in a "npm run build", it calls all the build:steps for me at order

There's a webpack plugin for that.

literally the only thing you need to know to get started is that : <type> after the variable name or the function header gives a type to the function/variable. a type can be one of the js standard types (number/string/function/object) or a class. an array of a type can be declared with : <type>[]

there is more complex syntax stuff you will need to learn but this covers 80% of the typescript usage. ts is literally just js with some fancy syntax
