TypeScript is a strongly typed, object-oriented
programming language that compiles to JavaScript. TypeScript is a superset of
JavaScript, and supports all of JavaScript's features plus optional
static typing.
TypeScript tooling
can help detect and prevent bugs that you might not notice in plain JavaScript.
After installation, you have access to all of the types exposed by the
google.ima
object in your own code. You can also take advantage of code completion and
content assist for IMA methods and properties in source code editors that have
those features, for example, Visual Studio Code.
