A Simple Type Test (TypeScript)

Overview:

This is a sample product to test how TypeScript can handle type errors using the original calculateTotal function. The function will take a list of items, each with a price property, and return the total price. While the code is simple, it demonstrates TypeScript’s ability to prevent common errors that could otherwise occur in JavaScript.

Key Features:

  1. Type Safety:
    • TypeScript enforces strict types, allowing me to define a price as a number. This catches errors like assigning a string value where a number is expected.
  2. Early Error Detection:
    • With TypeScript’s static typing, errors are caught during development, helping to prevent bugs in production.
  3. Better Code Documentation:
    • The use of interface helps define the shape of data, making it easier for developers to understand the code at a glance.

Tech Stack:

  1. TypeScript:
    • A superset of JavaScript that introduces static types to enhance code safety and readability.
