Type safety as a productivity and reliability investment.

// Overview

How we use TypeScript

TypeScript is mandatory on all new projects. The type system catches a broad class of runtime errors at compile time, makes refactoring safer, and serves as living documentation for APIs and data models. The short-term investment pays dividends throughout the project lifecycle.

// Use cases

  • All web frontend projects
  • Node.js backend APIs
  • React Native mobile apps
  • Shared type definitions across monorepos
  • Complex business logic with invariants to enforce

// Why it matters

Compile-time error detection

Null pointer dereferences, wrong function signatures, and missing properties caught before they reach production.

Refactoring confidence

Rename a function or change an interface and TypeScript identifies every callsite that needs updating, across the entire codebase.

IDE intelligence

Accurate autocomplete, inline documentation, and go-to-definition across the entire project, makes developers faster on unfamiliar code.

// Production patterns

How we ship with TypeScript

Strict mode is enabled on all new repos, `noImplicitAny`, `strictNullChecks`, and path aliases for clean imports across monorepo packages.

Shared types between frontend and backend eliminate contract drift: Zod or OpenAPI-generated types validated at API boundaries.

We publish internal coding standards for discriminated unions on API results, branded types for IDs, and never using `any` in production paths.

// FAQ

TypeScript: common questions

TypeScript on WordPress PHP projects?+

TypeScript applies to decoupled frontends and Node middleware, PHP remains typed via static analysis and PHPCS on custom plugins.

Do you use any ORM?+

Prisma and Drizzle on Node; Django ORM on Python, always with migration review in CI.

How do you onboard engineers to a typed codebase?+

ARCHITECTURE.md, generated API clients, and eslint-typescript rules that fail CI on unsafe patterns, not oral tradition.
