TypeScript for Beginners - Working with Interfaces Created at Compile Time

The video tutorial explains the role of interfaces in TypeScript, emphasizing their importance during compilation. It demonstrates how interfaces ensure code compliance at compile time, even though they do not exist in the generated JavaScript at runtime. The tutorial provides instructions on viewing compiled JavaScript code and highlights the significance of managing code with interfaces in projects to ensure objects adhere to defined rules.

What is the primary purpose of interfaces in TypeScript?

• To ensure type safety during compilation

• To generate JavaScript code

• To replace classes in TypeScript

• To exist at runtime in JavaScript

What will you find in the compiled JavaScript file when using TypeScript interfaces?

• Interfaces and object declarations

• Only interfaces

• Only object declarations

• Neither interfaces nor object declarations

Why is it important to define interfaces in TypeScript projects?

• To ensure objects comply with rules at runtime

• To catch errors at compile time

• To make JavaScript code more readable

• To replace the need for classes

What happens to interfaces when TypeScript code is compiled to JavaScript?

• They are used to generate functions

• They are converted to classes

• They are included in the JavaScript file

• They do not exist in the JavaScript file

How do interfaces help in maintaining code compliance in TypeScript projects?

• By existing in the final JavaScript code

• By generating runtime errors

• By replacing the need for object declarations

• By ensuring objects follow defined rules during compilation
