In TypeScript, dependencies refer to external libraries or modules that your TypeScript project relies on to function properly. These dependencies are typically managed using package managers like npm (Node Package Manager) or yarn.
Here's a short breakdown:
- External Libraries: These are code packages developed by others that your project needs. Examples include libraries for UI components, utility functions, or frameworks like React or Angular.
- Declaration Files: Sometimes, TypeScript needs type definitions for JavaScript libraries that don't include them natively. Declaration files (*.d.ts) provide these types.
- Package Management: Tools like npm or yarn are used to install and manage these dependencies. They keep track of what your project needs and handle downloading and updating them as required.
Managing dependencies effectively ensures your TypeScript project can integrate and use external code reliably and efficiently.
