In one of our biggest projects, we develop and maintain a React web application. Last year, we decided to migrate it to TypeScript. How did it go? How did we migrate JavaScript to TypeScript? Was it worth it? What struggles we met and are we still having any issues? I’ll try to address these questions in this article.
Disclaimer: I’m not describing the migration process step-by-step or TypeScript itself in this article. You can find many resources on that online, including official TS docs.
In one of our projects at Yumasoft we needed to replace npm library’s implementation with a custom one. This was needed because one of the components we use created their own version (fork) of this npm package (the component uses this library internally). In order to make the component working correctly, we had to use the component’s authors version of the library, instead of using the original npm package. It turned out to not be an easy task, but finally we found a nice and easy solution.
When starting your journey with JavaScript, you should have knowledge about valuable information sources. In my opinion, having such lore can save you a lot of time and it can greatly accelerate your learning process. In this article I will try to present you some web pages with JavaScript resources, from widely renowned to slightly underrated ones. I hope that it will help you to increase your skill without pointless wandering through internet depths.
