Ionic and TypeScript: Part 2

Mike Hartington

In our most recent screencast, we talked about future-proofing your app. We converted our JavaScript to TypeScript and created a simple build step to compile everything back. Now, let’s look at how we can use TypeScript’s static types to annotate our code. We’ll add definition files for Ionic and start getting code completion in our editor.

Adding TSD

$ sudo npm install -g tsd
$ tsd install ionic cordova --save

Reference the definition files

controller.ts

/// <reference path="../typings/tsd.d.ts" />
