    TypeScript is a strongly typed programming language that builds on JavaScript, giving you better tooling at any scale. TypeScript adds additional syntax to JavaScript to support a tighter integration with your editor. Catch errors early in your editor.

    1. Apply types to your Strapi project incrementally, each step improves editor support and improves your codebase.
    2. Describe the shape of objects and functions in your code.

    TypeScript code converts to JavaScript, which runs anywhere JavaScript runs: In a browser, on Node.js or Deno and in your apps. TypeScript understands JavaScript and uses type inference to give you great tooling without additional code.
