If you are coding in Angular 2 or higher you are using TypeScript.<br />
<br />
TypeScript is basically a typed superset of JavaScript. Anything you can do in JavaScript you can do in TypeScript. The nice thing about TypeScript is<br />
a) It allows you to type your variables, function returns etc - so the compiler does some key checking<br />
b) It enables you to use the latest JavaScript functions and features without having to worry about backward compatibility<br />
<br />
When you compile your Angular App - the TypeScript code is Transpiled into JavaScript, minified and tree shaken - ready to be published. It is not much more involved than that.

Can you give me an example of TypeScript to Javascript? I am still a bit unsure how this works under the covers.<br />
<br />
For example, what variable and function name types are available?

<div>
So, let is a newer type which allows the transpiler select the type to use as it generates the javascript?

You are welcome<br />

Not sure what the question is?<br />
let is used for local declarations (local to the block they are in) as opposed to var which declares a variable that is global to the entire function

I coded Angular 4 and am pretty sure I used TypeScript. But, I can not recall exactly where.<br />

Explain how TypeScript fits into Angular?

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

Angular is a JavaScript open-source web application framework used to develop single-page applications. It aims to simplify both the development and the testing of such applications by providing a framework for client-side model–view–controller (MVC) and model–view–view-model (MVVM) architectures, along with components commonly used in rich Internet applications. Angular is the front-end part of the MEAN stack, together with Node.js runtime, Express.js backend framework and MongoDB database.
