I want to build a new web frontend for our SQL server central management box. The current one was built by a previous DBA in C# and it’s pretty creaky around the edges and doesn’t have some of the info we track in the database itself. Looking at my options it looks like Typescript has an integration I can use but how much different in practice is Typescript vs vanilla JS? I’ve done some JavaScript in the past and just want to see how hard of a hill this will be to climb.
If you have an understanding of JavaScript you’d pretty easily be able to hack around with TypeScript. It’s basically statically typed JavaScript (meaning you have to explicitly declare what type of parameter a function accepts). Otherwise it’s a JavaScript superset that extends JS.
