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…)

Auto import is one of the most-used features in WebStorm because, as its name suggests, it just works automatically and adds required imports as you write your code. (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…)
