JavaScript Developers TRYING to Use TypeScript

**DISCORD**

**STAY IN TOUCH 👋**

**QUESTIONS ABOUT MY SETUP**

"hmmm I don't know how to type this. I'll put any for now and come back to this later"

[sebinohoo]

Typescript is great. But bad Typescript is terrible.

[Dev-Siri]

who leaked my first ts experience video?

[tamalefrank]

I used to hate typescript so much that I kept looking for every single reason to avoid it but now that I finally picked it up, I am really enjoying it. Offers a very good developer experience....

[daronwiafe]

Once you get use to it it’s hard to go back

[itsyourboyt]

That's how I got started. Over the days I understand the concepts and now use it how it should be

Full stack junior here, currently working on company app that uses react and typescript, just as you think you understand the code something else confuses you and takes you back to square one.

The difference is minuscule, after a day or two you should be set. Unless if you never worked with any typed language before. But I have to admit, react types are unclear, the recommended type for descendant nodes is ReactNode (which is obviously part of React).

[jesseajioh]

As a JavaScript developer, I approve of this🙄

[thrash]

I used to do this when I started, then I got good at TS, then I started hating it, then moved back to JS with JSDoc. Dev experience is now much better.

I wait for copilot to fill in on my behalf 😂

I'm an now a full scale convert to Typescript. When you start out the Typescript errors are annoying and you think "shut up i know this code works" but what I have come to learn through experience is no, the code doesn't work and Typescript does know more than me.

We all faced this issue when beging to use typescript

[AnyVideo]

My introduction to TypeScript was after working on a massive JavaScript freelance project, my first and only such endeavour. Eventually type errors got difficult to manage and I really liked code completion so I adopted JSDoc thanks to VSCode filling it in. Well, sure enough, I then realized the entire project could just be moved over to TS instead and from there I was well aware of the advantages of a typed language.

Yiu don't get types for all modules right. It gets really difficult sometimes to get types and understand type errors.

[HumanTouchArt]

I think everyone at some point just put any at any error you come across in typescript 😂

[vikingthedude]

Tagged unions are why i love typescript

[imfastboi]

I wish there was a way to easily define the type when you're destructing an object as a parameter without having to rely on arrow function and React.FC or having to define another type when coding in react + ts

[ScriKidding-egvn]

😂😂 same i use typescript then put any my errors gone

[fabianpetersen]

happens to me currently, ...learning TS is confusing and i get frustrated alot
