Chapter 1. Tools and Frameworks

We could always use the help of real code to explain the design patterns we'll be discussing. In this chapter, we'll have a brief introduction to the tools and frameworks that you might need if you want to have some practice with complete working implementations of the contents of this book.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

• Installing Node.js and TypeScript compiler
• Popular editors or IDEs for TypeScript
• Configuring a TypeScript project
• A basic workflow that you might need to play with your own implementations of the design patterns in this book
