Early Benefits

Even at this point you can get some great benefits from TypeScript understanding your project. If you open up an editor like VS Code or Visual Studio, you’ll see that you can often get some tooling support like completion. You can also catch certain bugs with options like:

• noImplicitReturns which prevents you from forgetting to return at the end of a function.
• noFallthroughCasesInSwitch which is helpful if you never want to forget a break statement between cases in a switch block.

TypeScript will also warn about unreachable code and labels, which you can disable with allowUnreachableCode and allowUnusedLabels respectively.
