In a recent conversation, Mykola shared his thoughts on using TypeScript and Angular in large-scale development. His experience highlights the practical advantages these technologies offer, especially when it comes to collaboration, code stability, and long-term scalability.
Let’s dive into his thoughts a little more:
TypeScript has static typing
“Working with large codebases often means navigating numerous moving parts, where understanding the data flow and behavior of some parts of the system can become a challenge. In projects using dynamic typing, this difficulty is increased by reliance on other developers' experience and their commitment to writing clean, well-documented code. Static typing, provided by TypeScript, addresses these challenges by enforcing standards through type definitions. It makes the code more self-documenting, reduces ambiguity, and helps prevent production errors by catching many issues at compile time. This not only improves code reliability but also simplifies maintenance and collaboration across teams.”
Key takeaway: TypeScript brings structure and safety to complex systems, making collaboration smoother and reducing bugs before they reach production.
Angular has everything you need to start and scale a web application
“Large-scale applications require a set of reliable tools for common tasks such as routing, forms, HTTP requests, etc. There is a sea of options to choose from but it’s difficult to find the right and stable combination of libraries that works well together. Also, you have to always be careful with updating some of the libraries you chose since the new versions of them might not work well with the others, and updating them can quickly become a headache. If you choose Angular, you get a wide and powerful ecosystem that can cover most of your needs and you can be sure that all parts of it work seamlessly with the others.”
Key takeaway: Angular eliminates the guesswork of assembling and maintaining a toolset. Its cohesive ecosystem is made to work together out of the box.
Angular Material is Angular’s best friend
“Every modern web application has backend and frontend parts. Every frontend part has its own backend (business logic) and frontend (user interface). You want to spend most of your time writing business logic since it’s the core of your website. To do that developers try to speed up the user interface development by using existing UI components library. And if you have heard of Angular then you have heard about Angular Material. It provides you with a set of reliable and customizable components that allow you to develop consistent and modern designs.”
Key takeaway: Angular Material accelerates UI development and ensures consistency - so you can spend more time on what really matters: the business logic.
