Common Usage

TypeScript adds static types to JavaScript for better tooling and reliability. It is used for React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Deno, and large-scale web applications.

TypeScript compiles to JavaScript and runs anywhere JavaScript does.

Code Examples

HTML

<!-- Link or embed with explicit type -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file.ts" type="text/x-typescript">

<!-- Or for script/media elements -->
<script type="text/x-typescript" src="file.ts"></script>

Node.js

// Express.js
app.get('/file', (req, res) => {
  res.type('text/x-typescript');
  res.send(data);
});

// Node.js http
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/x-typescript' });
