Let's learn how to use TypeScript in an Ember.js app!

Slides from the workshop are available here.

To make the workshop go as smoothly as possible and avoid as many hiccups as we can (especially given that conference WiFi can be spotty!), we have a few requests for some ahead-of-time setup!

You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.

• Git
• Node.js
• Yarn

$ git clone https://github.com/chriskrycho/emberconf.git
$ cd emberconf
$ git checkout setup
$ yarn install

Make sure you check out the setup tag before doing yarn install!

You’ll also want your editor configured with TypeScript support. You should follow the setup instructions provided for your editor on the Official TypeScript Wiki. I (Chris) have managed to get them going fairly well following the links there even for the editors I don’t use myself, so thing should be pretty smooth for you, assuming you already know how to set up plugins in your editor or IDE of choice.

For VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Sublime Text, there are project files you can open directly in the root of the Git repository. The VS Code project file will also prompt you to install a set of helpful addons for doing Ember.js development.

(Note that we're not familiar enough with the setups for Vim or Emacs to be much help there, but between the three of us we have used each of Atom, VS Code, Sublime Text, and the JetBrains IDEs enough to help a little if something weird comes up during the course of the workshop.)

That’s it! Have the project and its dependencies set up and an editor ready, and you’ll be ready to go.
