TypeScript support means a product, SDK, or codebase provides TypeScript types and patterns that make integrations safer and more maintainable. TypeScript adds static typing on top of JavaScript, helping developers catch mistakes earlier and refactor confidently. In embedded editor integrations, TypeScript support often becomes a major factor in developer adoption.
Why TypeScript Matters for SDKs and Integrations
Type safety is also a form of documentation. When types are accurate, developers can learn an SDK through autocomplete and inline hints instead of scanning long docs. This is especially valuable for editor integrations where configuration is wide and mistakes can be subtle.
Complex integrations involve many configuration options, event payloads, and API shapes. With strong types, developers can discover capabilities through autocomplete and avoid runtime errors. This improves developer experience by reducing confusion and preventing subtle integration bugs. Type safety also helps when multiple teams share the same integration code, because contracts are encoded in the types.
TypeScript Across Framework SDKs
TypeScript support often spans multiple SDK surfaces. For example, a JavaScript SDK may provide base types and models, while framework SDKs like react SDK and vue SDK expose typed components and events. When types are consistent across SDKs, teams can move between stacks with less friction. If you publish types separately, version them alongside the SDK and test them in CI against real usage examples so broken types do not block builds.
Practical Implementation Details
Good TypeScript support includes accurate types, well-documented interfaces, and versioned type changes. Types should match runtime behavior. If an SDK emits events, type the event payloads precisely and include discriminated unions for different event types so developers can handle cases exhaustively. Types reduce mistakes, but runtime validation still matters for older clients and untrusted inputs.
