Decorators and Namespaces in TypeScript
Introduction to Namespaces
In TypeScript, namespaces are a way to organize and encapsulate code. They offer a way to logically group functionalities and avoid name conflicts in large applications.
Namespaces are designed to be a collective grouping of functions, classes, interfaces, etc., and allow the same code structures to be maintained in separate files.
Basic Syntax of Namespaces:
typescript
In this example, MyClass is encapsulated within MyNamespace. The use of export makes MyClass accessible outside the namespace.
Advantages of Using Namespaces:
- Encapsulation and Modularity: They facilitate the organization of code into logical blocks.
- Avoid Name Conflicts: They can help avoid name collision issues in large projects.
- Dependency Management: They simplify the management and grouping of code dependencies.
Namespaces can contain other structures like functions, constants, interfaces, and even other namespaces, providing additional flexibility.
Example of Nested Namespaces:
typescript
In this example, InnerClass is nested within InnerNamespace, which in turn is nested within OuterNamespace. This shows how namespaces can be organized hierarchically.
