Tabris.js 2.0 – Top 10 Features: TypeScript & JSX
Tomorrow Tabris.js 2.0 will be released and we conclude our count-down of the top 10 new features with our favorite addition: support for TypeScript 2 & JSX.
TypeScript 2 & JSX
We significantly improved support for TypeScript and introduced support for JSX, the declarative approach to UI creation. JSX allows you to embed XML directly into your Tabris.js code, giving you a better representation of your widget hierarchy.
[js] tabris.ui.contentView.append(
); [/js]
Since you can combine JSX and TypeScript you also get type-safety in your declarative UI along with auto-completion in your favorite IDE (eg. Visual Studio Code or WebStorm).
TypeScript improvements
With the improved TypeScript integration you can now use the selector API in a type-safe manor as well. No need to cast or perform any runtime-checks.
