TypeScript Open Source Contribution: A Step-by-Step Practice Guide

This article will guide you on how to participate in the TypeScript open source project, regardless of your skill level. We will first evaluate your TypeScript skills and then introduce ways to find opportunities to contribute.

Skill Level Assessment

Evaluate your TypeScript skill level before starting to contribute, which will help you choose the right project. We divide the skill level into three levels:

• Level 1: TypeScript Beginner You have just started learning TypeScript and are familiar with JavaScript. You have read some documents or tutorials. Suitable contributions: Update the document, create TypeScript Playground links for examples.

• Second level: Proficient in TypeScript You have used TypeScript in several projects, can fix general type errors, and understand some TypeScript techniques. Suitable contributions: Fix bugs (such as type errors), add small features, update documentation, and add examples.

• Level 3: TypeScript Expert You are very familiar with TypeScript and may have converted the JavaScript code base to TypeScript, or written a large TypeScript project from scratch. Suitable contributions: maintain type definitions in DefinitelyTyped, write advanced tutorials or documentation, and contribute code to the TypeScript compiler itself.

Looking for opportunities to contribute

After determining your skill level, you can start looking for opportunities to contribute. The following three platforms are good choices:

• GitHub: This is the preferred platform for finding open source projects. You can search for organizations and repositories related to TypeScript to find issues marked "help wanted" or "good first issue". It is recommended to sort by number of comments and select issues with fewer comments, so that it is easier to find issues that have not been processed by anyone.

• Twitter: Share your goals on Twitter, such as you are looking for a TypeScript open source project to contribute. TypeScript community members may provide advice for you. Follow important TypeScript community members and search for tweets that mention TypeScript.

• Discord: The TypeScript community has its own Discord server. You can communicate with other members, learn about project information, and publish the contribution opportunities you are looking for.

Summary

Participating in the TypeScript open source project will not only help the community, but also improve your skills. Choose a project that matches your skill level and gradually challenge higher-level contributions. Take advantage of GitHub's advanced search syntax, and don't ignore other avenues like Twitter and Discord.
