Its important to understand that:
- JavaScript is typescript
- Typescript is JavaScript with types
When you are writing typescript, you are writing JavaScript but have additional syntax to help support type safety and structure. If you are creating a function that does x, it should very much be the same in JS and TS, just in TS it has extra syntax
TS doesn’t modify the way JS works, its one of the stated needs for the tooling.
In TS, for example, I can denote an object as
const x: Record = {}
In JS it would be
const x = {}
It’s still nothing but an object. TS doesn’t change the functionality, it just adds typing and checks that you are using that object properly as static build step.
Eh no not necessarily. This depends on the type of audit and the questions specifically, but should never be a default stance if you want to provide a full report. Moreover, if you are learning to do software audits, it would be beneficial to check everything because experience is key to know what you are looking for
