# 4 Steps from JavaScript to TypeScript
This repo shows you the steps to go through to update a project from JavaScript to TypeScript.
It was based on the advice from [Dominik Kundel's blog post on moving to TypeScript at your own pace](https://www.twilio.com/blog/move-to-typescript).
## Running the application
First clone or download [the repo](https://github.com/philnash/four-steps-from-javascript-to-typescript) and change into the directory.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/philnash/four-steps-from-javascript-to-typescript.git
cd four-steps-from-javascript-to-typescript
```
Install the dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
Run the application.
```bash
npm start
```
You can now visit `http://localhost:3000` and see a static HTML page or make a `POST` request to `http://localhost:3000/webhooks/messages` and get a [dad joke](https://icanhazdadjoke.com/api) in TwiML format for responding to incoming SMS messages to a [Twilio number](https://www.twilio.com/).
```bash
curl --data "" http://localhost:3000/webhooks/messages
It was raining cats and dogs the other day. I almost stepped in a poodle.
```
## Moving to TypeScript
You can follow [the directions in the blog post](https://www.twilio.com/blog/move-to-typescript) to move this repo to TypeScript. There are also branches that show the changes at each stage.
