TypeScript Best Practices in 2024

TypeScript has become the standard for large-scale JavaScript applications. Here are some best practices.

Use Strict Mode

Always enable strict mode in your tsconfig.json:

{ "compilerOptions": { "strict": true }}

// Prefer this

interface User { name: string; email: string;}

// Over this (for object shapes)

type User = { name: string; email: string;};

type Result<T> =

| { success: true; data: T } | { success: false; error: string };

Use 'unknown' instead of 'any' when type is truly unknown.

Following these practices will help you write better TypeScript code!
