Choosing a handy editor

A compiler without a good editor won't be enough (if you are not a believer of Notepad). Thanks to the efforts made by the TypeScript community, there are plenty of great editors and IDEs ready for TypeScript development.

However, the choice of an editor could be much about personal preferences. In this section, we'll talk about the installation and configuration of Visual Studio Code and Sublime Text. But other popular editors or IDEs for TypeScript will also be listed with brief introductions.

Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a free lightweight editor written in TypeScript. And it's an open source and cross-platform editor that already has TypeScript support built-in.

You can download Visual Studio Code from https://code.visualstudio.com/ ...
