TypeScript
We write TypeScript by default for reliability and better tooling. Types catch bugs early and make refactoring safer, so your codebase stays easier to maintain as requirements change.
TypeScript is JavaScript with optional static types. You describe the shape of your data and function parameters, and the compiler (and your editor) flag mismatches before the code runs. That leads to fewer runtime errors, clearer intent, and safer refactors—especially valuable as the project and team grow.
We use TypeScript for both front-end and back-end code. Editors like VS Code offer autocomplete, go-to-definition, and inline error reporting, which speeds up development and onboarding. If you have an existing JavaScript codebase, we can introduce TypeScript gradually by adding types file-by-file.
- •Static typing and inference
- •Better editor support
- •Clearer APIs and contracts
- •Gradual adoption possible
Benefits in practice
Types act as living documentation: when you see a function that takes a User and returns an Order, you know exactly what to pass in and what you get back. That reduces back-and-forth and makes it easier to change code months later. For APIs and shared libraries, TypeScript ensures that front and back end stay in sync.
- •Fewer bugs from typos and wrong argument types
- •Faster development with autocomplete and refactoring
- •Self-documenting code and clearer contracts
- •Easier to onboard new developers and maintain long-term
