Also known as: TS, typed JavaScript

Last updated August 8, 2026

Definition

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that adds static types and compiles to plain JavaScript, helping catch errors before runtime.

Real-World Example

Declaring a function parameter as string prevents accidentally passing a number — the TypeScript compiler flags the mistake in the editor.
