TypeScript
JavaScript is an untyped language. TypeScript (opens in a new tab) is here to help add static type definition. TypeScript helps a lot when it comes to types, interfaces and defining contract between functions which is very helpful for a reliable documentation. No worries, the TypeScript adoption is incremental and writing in TypeScript is not mandatory to use Start UI, but it is a good practice to do so to avoid bugs in the future.
