We all need to unit test our code to verify that it works the way it’s supposed to. Fortunately, Rider has the tools to enable you to test code more efficiently and quickly. In this post, we’ll look at using Mocha and Chai to write unit tests in TypeScript. (more…)

TypeScript enables you to code using object-oriented principles and techniques, and Rider helps you write TypeScript more efficiently and easily. In this blog post, we’ll look at the object-oriented features provided by the TypeScript language, and how to use Rider to implement them. (more…)

TypeScript has become a popular language, for use on both the client and server. In this blog post, you’ll learn some basics about writing TypeScript, and how Rider can make TypeScript enjoyable. TypeScript overview TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript developed by Microsoft. That means it has everything that JavaScript does, plus some more goodies that enhance the JavaScript experience.
