TypeScript


TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.

Contribute

NOTE: Code changes in this repo are now limited to a small category of fixes:

• Crashes that were introduced in 5.9 or 6.0 that also repro in 7.0 and have a portable fix and don't incur other behavioral changes
• Security issues
• Language service crashes that substantially impact mainline usage
• Serious regressions from 5.9 (these must seriously impact a large proportion of users)

Most bug fixes should be submitted to the typescript-go repository.
Feature additions and behavioral changes are currently on pause until TypeScript 7.0 is completed.

There are many ways to contribute to TypeScript.

• Submit bugs and help us verify fixes as they are checked in.
• Review the source code changes.
• Engage with other TypeScript users and developers on StackOverflow.
• Help each other in the TypeScript Community Discord.
• Join the #typescript discussion on Twitter.
• Contribute bug fixes.
