Hey folks! Ever found yourself swimming in a sea of TypeScript? Well, I've been there too. Here are some tips on how to navigate through that large codebase like a pro. Let's dive right in! ♂️ First things first, check out the package.json. It's kinda like the welcome sign at the entrance of your project. You can find out about dependencies (the friends who help build the project), scripts (useful commands to run different parts of the code), and entry points (where the main party starts). Next up, let's visit tsconfig.json - it's like a map that tells you how your TypeScript compiler should behave. Learn about its settings, path aliases, and strictness levels. It'll help you navigate the codebase smoothly. As for the folder structure, think of it as a city with districts (src/ components/ utils/ hooks/). Take some time to familiarize yourself with these areas. Now, if you come across tests/ or tests/, don't be shy. These folks are your unit and integration tests - they make sure your project is in tip-top shape. Definitely give them a read! When exploring the codebase, keep an eye out for index.ts files. They often serve as entry points to different parts of the city (codebase). And don't forget to follow imports to understand how everything connects together. So, there you have it! when you find yourself in a large TypeScript codebase again. By the way, if anyone has tips on how to handle complex TypeScript projects or interesting patterns they found, do share! Happy coding!
