What is TypeScript?

TypeScript is the foundation of Frontend Accelerator's codebase, providing static type checking that eliminates entire classes of runtime errors and enables powerful AI-assisted development.

1. Sample tsconfig:

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
  	"strict": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "module": "esnext"
   // etc...
  }
}

2. Automatic type generation:

• NextAuth generates session types
• API routes have inferred request/response types

3. AI-friendly type system:

Strong typing enables AI tools to:

• Autocomplete API properties accurately
• Catch errors before runtime
• Understand function contracts instantly
• Refactor code safely across the entire codebase

// Type-safe database query
async function getUser(id: string): Promise<User | null> {
  return await db.getUser<User>(id);
}

Benefits:

• Compile-time safety: Catch bugs during development, not production
• IDE autocomplete: Full IntelliSense for all APIs and custom code
• Self-documenting: Types serve as inline documentation
• Refactoring confidence: Rename, move, and modify code fearlessly

Frontend Accelerator's TypeScript configuration ensures maximum safety and AI comprehension.
