Angular 2.0 with JavaScript or TypeScript?

Question

Which is the recommended way to develop angular 2.0 application. is it with javascript or typescript. i found difficult to start the angular 2.0 with typescript which is entirely different from the javascript.

I don't think there can be an objective answer to this question (I just flagged it as opinion-based). Maybe you just have to try and follow some tutorials in both options, and choose what suits you best — superbob

got my vote up because I'm also confused in choosing between TypeScript and JavaScript. after doing a little bit search on google, I have found a great video to understand. — Jitendra Tiwari

I decide to use TypeScript and this is really easy to understand. I have never use TypeScript before. Infact some tutorials are not available in Javascript or DART for now. — Jitendra Tiwari

In fact, TypeScript is a superset of ES6. In short, you will have the following in addition:

Type checking (class properties, method parameters)
Decorators
Interfaces

Perhaps the gap between ES5 and ES6 / TypeScript is important but there are really advantages to use it:

The compilation phase allows you to detect potential problems in your case
TypeScript provides contracts (.d.ts files) of the elements / third-party libraries you use
Support of IDE for completion

That said, you are free to use either ES5, ES6 or TypeScript. It's up to you ;-)

I think the decision must depend on the knowledge and experience of your team so that you can make a close time estimation of your project and avoid unwanted issue that might occur in lack of knowledge and experience. Hope my suggestion will help you to decide. Thanks.
