TypeScript Cookbook Examples

The TypeScript Cookbook is a collection of over 100 recipes for TypeScript development! Each recipe is a self-contained example that can be used as a reference to help you in your TypeScript journey.

Each example stems from a real-world problem that I've encountered when working alone or with multiple teams.

I strongly believe that you can only learn a programming language if you see the code directly in an editor. Getting a feeling how the compiler, the language server, and your IDE behave when typing is essential to understanding how TypeScript works.

This is why I collect an interactive example for each recipe. You can play with the code, change it, and see how the compiler reacts to your changes. Find links to Codesandbox and the Playground below.
