TypeSafety is good

Not an all or nothing proposition

All our code is in TypeScript. But you can start using it quite quickly. 

• Your JavaScript is TypeScript.
• When it isn't you can type it. 
• Most of the popular open source projects have a TypeScript definition (DefinitelyTyped)

RequireJS

Let the files manage their own ordering

Fast incremental compile https://github.com/TypeStrong/grunt-ts#fast-compile

Angular JS

Full stack. More than just a databinding framework (Routing, Directives)

AngularJS

I'm sure you've seen the google trend (http://goo.gl/psnLgv)

Other Frameworks

With TypeScript

Does not impose any restrictions on your code. 

Just works with JavaScript.

With TypeScript

AngularJS the bad

• DI (good for testing but creates its own problems)
• Routing (http://angular-route-segment.com/). Simpler than UI-State router.
• Dynamically Typed Templates.

Managing Application Links

Managing Application Links

Put it on $rootScope

At Dev Time

Easy to do from controllers

Grunt

Must to manage your frontend.

All it does

• TypeScript -> JS compile
• RequireJS -> single JS concatenation

• SaSS -> CSS compile 
• CSS + Vendor CSS -> Single CSS

• Watches this stuff at dev time

TIP

Check in your node_modules folder

Mocha

Let it do the clicking for you.

Prevents backend regressions and allows easier refactoring.

Mocha

Sample Spec

Mocha

• Services are generated and shared between server and client
  • compiled TypeScript with `amd` for client and `commonjs` for testing
• Isolate your Create, Get, Expect functions as these are reused
• Use Promises!

Mocha

• Replaced contract equivalent version of: 
  • $http: using request 
  • Custom Injector
  • Others

Mocha
