Announcing TypeScript 5.6
Today we’re excited to announce the release of TypeScript 5.6!
If you’re not familiar with TypeScript, it’s a language that builds on top of JavaScript by adding syntax for types. Types describe the shapes we expect of our variables, parameters, and functions, and the TypeScript type-checker can help catch issues like typos, missing properties, and bad function calls before we even run our code. Types also power TypeScript’s editor tooling like the auto-completion, code navigation, and refactorings that you might see in editors like Visual Studio and VS Code. In fact, if you write JavaScript in either of those editors, that experience is powered by TypeScript! You can learn more at the TypeScript website.
