TypeScript Support

We’re thrilled to announce native TypeScript support for Aspose.Slides for Node.js via Java! This major enhancement brings modern development workflows to PowerPoint automation in Node.js.

Key Benefits

  • Full API discoverability: Get intelligent code completion for all methods
  • Type safety: Catch errors at compile time
  • Zero-config: Works out of the box with included .d.ts definitions
  • Java parity: All public methods from the Java package are properly typed

Technical Implementation

The type definitions are automatically loaded via package.json:

"types": "lib/aspose.slides.d.ts"

Developer Experience

Before (Plain JavaScript)

import * as AsposeSlides from 'aspose.slides.via.java';

// No autocompletion or type checking
const pres = new AsposeSlides.??? // Flying blind

After (TypeScript)

import * as AsposeSlides from 'aspose.slides.via.java';

const pres = new AsposeSlides.Presentation(); // Full autocompletion
const slide = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0); // Proper method signatures

TypeScript Autocompletion Demo
