TypeScript Syntax Reference Docs (not recommended for actual use but published)

Need to give instructions for configuring a MacBook to run TypeScript and Node before releasing this story as safe.

Really everything below are just personal notes from diving into TypeScript. While I plan to publish an actual TypeScript Syntax Reference Documentation of sorts in the future, this one is still in development.

node index.js will print your object etc. whatever you had compiled in your ts file in JavaScript

interface Todo {
 id: number;
 title: sting;
 completed: boolean;
}
