How to connect Typescript to html
Learn how to connect Typescript to HTML using a simple example, and enhance your web development skills.
Connecting Typescript to HTML is a great way to add type safety and other advanced features to your web development projects. In this article, I will show you how to set up your HTML file to work with Typescript.
Setting Up Your HTML File
First, you'll need to create an HTML file if you don't already have one. Once you have your HTML file, you'll need to link it to your Typescript file using the script tag. Below is an example of how to link your Typescript file to your HTML file:
<html>
<head>
<script src="your-typescript-file.ts" type="module"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, Typescript!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Make sure to replace your-typescript-file.ts with the actual file name of your Typescript file.
Compiling Your Typescript File
Before you can use your Typescript file in your HTML, you'll need to compile it into regular JavaScript. To do this, you can use the Typescript compiler, tsc. Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where your Typescript file is located, and run the following command:
tsc your-typescript-file.ts
After running this command, you should see a new file in the same directory with the same name as your Typescript file, but with a .js extension. This is the compiled JavaScript file that you'll link to in your HTML.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily connect your Typescript file to your HTML file and take advantage of all the benefits that Typescript has to offer. Happy coding!
