TYPESCRIPT
TypeScript:

TypeScript is an open-source programming language developed and maintained by


Microsoft. It is a statically typed superset of JavaScript that adds optional static typing and
other features to the language. TypeScript code is transpiled into JavaScript code that can
run on any browser or JavaScript engine.

TypeScript was designed to help developers write more scalable and maintainable
applications by adding features like type checking, interfaces, classes, and modules. It also
provides improved IDE support and better tooling for large codebases.

TypeScript can be used for both frontend and backend development, and is often used with
popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Node.js. It can also be used for writing
serverless functions and mobile applications using frameworks like React Native.

TypeScript is compatible with existing JavaScript code, and developers can gradually adopt
it in their projects. It can also be used in combination with other languages like Rust, C#, and
Python through WebAssembly.

Why TypeScript:

TypeScript offers several benefits over regular JavaScript:

➢ Type Safety: TypeScript is a statically typed language, which means that it provides
type checking during development. This can help catch errors earlier in the
development process, before they cause runtime errors.
➢ Improved Code Quality: TypeScript allows developers to write more maintainable
and scalable code, as it provides features like classes, interfaces, and modules. This
makes it easier to organize code, reuse code, and collaborate with other developers.
➢ Better IDE Support: TypeScript provides better tooling and IDE support than regular
JavaScript. This includes features like code completion, navigation, and refactoring.
This can help developers be more productive and write code faster.
➢ Compatibility with JavaScript: TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, which means
that it is fully compatible with existing JavaScript code. This makes it easy to gradually
adopt TypeScript in existing projects or libraries.
➢ Strong Community: TypeScript has a large and active community of developers and
contributors, which means that there is a lot of documentation, tools, and libraries
available. This can help developers get started with TypeScript quickly and find
solutions to common problems.

Overall, TypeScript can help developers write better quality code, catch errors earlier, and
be more productive, which can lead to better software development outcomes.

Installing TypeScript:

To install TypeScript, follow these steps:

Install Node.js: TypeScript is built on top of Node.js, so you need to install it first. You can
download and install Node.js from the official website: https://nodejs.org/

Install TypeScript using npm: Once Node.js is installed, you can install TypeScript using npm
(Node Package Manager). Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following
command:

npm install -g typescript

This will install TypeScript globally on your system.

Verify the installation: To verify that TypeScript is installed correctly, open a terminal or
command prompt and run the following command:

tsc -v

This should display the version number of TypeScript that you just installed.

That's it! You have now installed TypeScript on your system and you are ready to start using
it.

Basics of TypeScript:

Here are some basics of TypeScript:


Variables and Types: In TypeScript, you can declare variables using the let keyword. You can
also specify the type of the variable using a colon followed by the type. For example:

let message: string = "Hello, TypeScript!";

In this example, we have declared a variable message of type string.

Functions: You can define functions in TypeScript using the function keyword. You can also
specify the types of the parameters and the return type. For example:

function add(a: number, b: number): number {

return a + b;

In this example, we have defined a function add that takes two parameters of type number
and returns a value of type number.

Classes: TypeScript supports classes, which allows you to define a blueprint for creating
objects. You can use the class keyword to define a class, and the constructor method to
initialize the object. For example:

class Person {

constructor(public name: string, public age: number) {}

greet() {

console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I am ${this.age} years old.`);

let john = new Person("John", 30);

john.greet();
In this example, we have defined a class Person with a name and age property, as well as a
greet method that prints a message to the console. We have also created a new object john
of type Person.

Interfaces: TypeScript supports interfaces, which allow you to define a set of properties and
methods that a class must implement. For example:

interface Animal {

name: string;

age: number;

makeSound(): void;

class Dog implements Animal {

constructor(public name: string, public age: number) {}

makeSound() {

console.log("Woof!");

let myDog = new Dog("Buddy", 5);

myDog.makeSound();

In this example, we have defined an interface Animal that has a name, age, and makeSound
method. We have also defined a class Dog that implements the Animal interface, and
created a new object myDog of type Dog.

These are just some of the basics of TypeScript. TypeScript also supports advanced features
like generics, decorators, and namespaces, among others.
Functions:

Functions in TypeScript are similar to functions in JavaScript, but with added features to
support static typing and other language features. Here are some key aspects of functions in
TypeScript:

Function Declaration: In TypeScript, you can declare a function using the function keyword,
followed by the function name, parameter list, and return type (if any). For example:

function add(a: number, b: number): number {

return a + b;

In this example, we have defined a function named add that takes two parameters of type
number and returns a value of type number.

➢ Function Expression: You can also define a function using a function expression,
which assigns the function to a variable. For example:

let add = function(a: number, b: number): number {

return a + b;

In this example, we have defined a function expression that assigns a function to the
variable add.

➢ Optional Parameters: TypeScript allows you to declare optional parameters by


adding a question mark after the parameter name. For example:

function greet(name?: string) {

if (name) {

console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

} else {
console.log("Hello, world!");

In this example, we have defined a function greet that takes an optional parameter name of
type string. If name is provided, it will print a personalized greeting, otherwise it will print a
generic greeting.

➢ Default Parameters: TypeScript allows you to declare default values for parameters
by using the equal sign. For example:

function greet(name: string = "world") {

console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

In this example, we have defined a function greet that takes a parameter name of type
string with a default value of "world". If name is not provided, it will use the default value.

➢ Rest Parameters: TypeScript allows you to define rest parameters by prefixing the
last parameter with an ellipsis. Rest parameters allow you to pass an arbitrary
number of arguments to a function. For example:

function multiply(factor: number, ...numbers: number[]): number {

return numbers.reduce((a, b) => a * b, factor);

In this example, we have defined a function multiply that takes a factor parameter of type
number and a rest parameter numbers of type number[]. It multiplies all the numbers in the
numbers array and returns the result multiplied by the factor.

These are just some of the features of functions in TypeScript. TypeScript also supports
function overloading, arrow functions, and other advanced features.
Parameter Types and Return Types:

In TypeScript, you can specify the types of function parameters and the return type of the
function. This allows the TypeScript compiler to check the type safety of your code and
provide helpful error messages if there is a type mismatch. Here's how you can specify
parameter types and return types in TypeScript:

➢ Parameter Types: You can specify the type of a function parameter by using a colon
followed by the type name. For example:

function add(a: number, b: number): number {

return a + b;

In this example, we have specified that the a and b parameters are of type number.

➢ Return Type: You can specify the return type of a function by adding a colon followed
by the type name after the parameter list. For example:

function add(a: number, b: number): number {

return a + b;

In this example, we have specified that the function returns a value of type number.

➢ Void Type: If a function does not return a value, you can specify the return type as
void. For example:

function log(message: string): void {

console.log(message);

In this example, we have specified that the log function does not return a value by using the
void keyword as the return type.
➢ Optional Parameters: You can specify an optional function parameter by adding a
question mark after the parameter name, and then specifying a default value if the
parameter is not provided. For example:

function greet(name?: string): void {

if (name) {

console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

} else {

console.log("Hello, world!");

In this example, we have specified that the name parameter is optional by using the ?
symbol. If the name parameter is not provided, the function will use the default value of
undefined.

➢ Union Types: You can specify that a parameter can have multiple types by using a
union type. For example:

function display(value: string | number): void {

console.log(value);

In this example, we have specified that the value parameter can be of type string or
number.

These are just some of the ways you can specify parameter types and return types in
TypeScript. By using type annotations in your functions, you can make your code more
readable and maintainable, and catch potential errors at compile time.

Arrow Function:
Arrow functions in TypeScript are a shorthand way of writing function expressions. They are
similar to regular functions, but with a more concise syntax. Here's how you can define an
arrow function in TypeScript:

const add = (a: number, b: number): number => {

return a + b;

};

In this example, we have defined an arrow function called add that takes two parameters a
and b, both of which are of type number. The function returns the sum of a and b, which is
also of type number.

The arrow function is defined using the following syntax:

(parameters) => expression

The parameters are enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas, and the expression
is the code that the function will execute. The expression can be a single line of code, like in
our example, or it can be a block of code enclosed in curly braces.

You can also omit the curly braces and the return keyword if the function has only one
statement:

const square = (x: number): number => x * x;

In this example, we have defined an arrow function called square that takes a parameter x
of type number. The function returns the square of x, which is also of type number.

Arrow functions can be very useful when you need to define small, one-off functions that
don't require a name or a separate function declaration. They can also make your code
more readable by reducing the amount of boilerplate code needed for function definitions.

Function Types: named fun, anonymus fun (in other pdf pg:9)

In TypeScript, functions are first-class citizens and can have types just like any other values.
Function types describe the type of a function, including its parameter types and return
type.
Here's an example of a function type in TypeScript:

type AddFunction = (a: number, b: number) => number;

In this example, we have defined a function type called AddFunction that takes two
parameters a and b, both of type number, and returns a value of type number.

We can use this function type to define a variable that can hold a function that matches the
type:

const add: AddFunction = (a, b) => {

return a + b;

};

In this example, we have defined a variable called add of type AddFunction. We have
assigned an arrow function to this variable that matches the function type.

Function types can also include optional and rest parameters:

type GreetingFunction = (name?: string, ...args: string[]) => void;

In this example, we have defined a function type called GreetingFunction that takes an
optional parameter name of type string and a rest parameter args of type string[]. The
function has a return type of void.

We can use this function type to define a variable that can hold a function that matches the
type:

const greet: GreetingFunction = (name, ...args) => {

if (name) {

console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

} else {

console.log("Hello, world!");
}

if (args.length > 0) {

console.log("Additional arguments:");

args.forEach(arg => console.log(arg));

};

In this example, we have defined a variable called greet of type GreetingFunction. We have
assigned an arrow function to this variable that matches the function type.

Function types are very useful when you want to define functions with specific signatures,
and ensure that only functions that match the type are assigned to a variable or passed as
an argument. They can help catch type errors at compile time and make your code more
robust.

Optional and Default Parameters:

In TypeScript, function parameters can be marked as optional or have default values.


Optional parameters are parameters that may or may not be provided when calling a
function, while default parameters are parameters that have a default value that is used if
the parameter is not provided.

Optional Parameters:

To make a parameter optional, we can use the ? operator after the parameter name in the
function signature. Here's an example:

function greet(name?: string) {

if (name) {

console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);

} else {
console.log("Hello, stranger!");

In this example, the name parameter is marked as optional by adding ? after the parameter
name. This means that the parameter may or may not be provided when calling the
function. If the parameter is provided, its value will be used in the greeting message. If it is
not provided, the greeting message will use the default value of "stranger".

Default Parameters:

To define a default value for a parameter, we can simply assign a value to the parameter in
the function signature. Here's an example:

function add(a: number, b: number = 0): number {

return a + b;

In this example, the b parameter is given a default value of 0 by assigning it in the function
signature. This means that if the b parameter is not provided when calling the function, its
default value of 0 will be used. If the b parameter is provided, its value will be used in the
addition operation.

It's important to note that optional parameters must come after required parameters in the
function signature, and default parameters must come after all required and optional
parameters.

Rest Parameter:

In TypeScript, you can define a function that accepts a variable number of arguments using
a rest parameter. A rest parameter is denoted by the ellipsis ... followed by the parameter
name and it allows a function to accept any number of arguments.

Here's an example of a function that uses a rest parameter:


function multiply(multiplier: number, ...numbers: number[]): number {

return numbers.reduce((acc, val) => acc * val, multiplier);

In this example, the multiply function takes a required parameter multiplier of type number
and a rest parameter numbers of type number[]. The rest parameter allows the function to
accept any number of additional arguments, which are collected into an array called
numbers.

The function then uses the reduce method to multiply all the numbers in the numbers array
together, starting with the multiplier value.

Here's an example of calling the multiply function:

const result = multiply(2, 3, 4, 5);

console.log(result); // Output: 120

In this example, we are calling the multiply function with the multiplier value of 2 and three
additional arguments 3, 4, and 5. The multiply function collects these arguments into the
numbers array and multiplies them together with the reduce method, resulting in the value
of 120.

Rest parameters can be very useful when you need to accept an unknown number of
arguments in a function, such as when working with arrays or lists of data.

Creating an Interface:

In TypeScript, an interface is a way to define a contract or a blueprint for an object. It


defines the properties and methods that an object must have to be considered an instance
of that interface.

To create an interface in TypeScript, we use the interface keyword followed by the name of
the interface and the properties and methods it should contain. Here's an example:
interface Person {

name: string;

age: number;

greet: () => void;

In this example, we've defined an interface called Person that requires an object to have a
name property of type string, an age property of type number, and a greet method that
takes no arguments and returns no value.

Once an interface is defined, we can use it to define the shape of objects that conform to
that interface. Here's an example of creating an object that conforms to the Person
interface:

const person: Person = {

name: "Alice",

age: 30,

greet: () => console.log("Hello!")

};

In this example, we've created an object called person that has a name property of type
string, an age property of type number, and a greet method that takes no arguments and
returns no value. This object conforms to the Person interface, so we've declared its type as
Person.

Interfaces can also be extended to create new interfaces that inherit properties and
methods from other interfaces. Here's an example of extending the Person interface to
create a new Employee interface:
interface Employee extends Person {

jobTitle: string;

salary: number;

In this example, we've extended the Person interface to create a new interface called
Employee that requires an object to have all the properties and methods of the Person
interface, as well as a jobTitle property of type string and a salary property of type number.

Duck Typing:

Duck typing is a type system used in some programming languages, including TypeScript. In
duck typing, the type of an object is determined by its behavior, rather than its class or type
hierarchy. If an object quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's considered to be a duck,
even if it's not an instance of a Duck class or interface.

In TypeScript, duck typing is used to determine the compatibility of an object with an


interface. If an object has all the properties and methods required by an interface, it's
considered to be an instance of that interface, even if it's not explicitly declared as such.

Here's an example of duck typing in TypeScript:

interface Animal {

name: string;

speak: () => void;

function greet(animal: Animal) {

console.log(`Hello, ${animal.name}!`);

animal.speak();

}
const cat = {

name: "Fluffy",

speak: () => console.log("Meow!")

};

greet(cat); // Output: "Hello, Fluffy!" followed by "Meow!"

In this example, we've defined an interface called Animal that requires an object to have a
name property of type string and a speak method that takes no arguments and returns no
value.

We've then defined a greet function that takes an object of type Animal and logs a greeting
message using the object's name property and speak method.

Finally, we've created an object called cat that has a name property of type string and a
speak method that takes no arguments and logs "Meow!" to the console.

Even though cat is not explicitly declared as an instance of the Animal interface, it has all
the properties and methods required by that interface. Therefore, when we call the greet
function with the cat object as an argument, it behaves as if it were an instance of the
Animal interface.

This is an example of duck typing in action, where an object's compatibility with an interface
is determined by its behavior, rather than its type or class hierarchy.

Function Types:

In TypeScript, we can define the types of functions using function types. Function types
describe the types of a function's parameters and return value. They can be used to specify
the types of function parameters when declaring a function or when defining a function
type for a variable or property.

Here's an example of a function type:

type AddFunction = (a: number, b: number) => number;


In this example, we've defined a type called AddFunction that describes a function that
takes two parameters of type number and returns a value of type number.

We can use this function type to declare a variable that points to a function that satisfies
this type:

const add: AddFunction = (a, b) => a + b;

In this example, we've declared a variable called add that has the type AddFunction. We've
also assigned it an arrow function that takes two parameters of type number and returns
their sum.

We can also use function types as parameters in other functions. Here's an example:

function applyOperation(a: number, b: number, op: (x: number, y: number) => number):
number {

return op(a, b);

const result = applyOperation(4, 2, (x, y) => x * y);

console.log(result); // Output: 8

In this example, we've defined a function called applyOperation that takes two parameters
of type number and a third parameter of type (x: number, y: number) => number, which is a
function type that describes a function that takes two parameters of type number and
returns a value of type number.

The applyOperation function calls the function passed as the op parameter with the two a
and b parameters, and returns its result.

We've then called the applyOperation function with 4, 2, and an arrow function that
multiplies its two parameters. The result of the function call is 8, which is logged to the
console.
Function types are a powerful feature of TypeScript that allow us to specify the types of
functions in a concise and expressive way. They can be used to define the types of function
parameters, return values, and even function variables and properties.

Extending Interfaces:

In TypeScript, we can create new interfaces by extending existing ones using the extends
keyword. This allows us to create more specific interfaces that inherit properties and
methods from a more general interface.

Here's an example of how to extend an interface:

interface Animal {

name: string;

age: number;

speak: () => void;

interface Dog extends Animal {

breed: string;

const myDog: Dog = {

name: "Buddy",

age: 3,

breed: "Golden Retriever",

speak: () => console.log("Woof!")

};
In this example, we've defined an interface called Animal that has three properties: name of
type string, age of type number, and speak of type () => void.

We've then defined a new interface called Dog that extends the Animal interface using the
extends keyword. The Dog interface has all the properties of the Animal interface, plus an
additional property breed of type string.

Finally, we've declared a variable called myDog that has the type Dog. We've assigned it an
object that has all the properties required by the Dog interface, as well as the speak
method.

By extending interfaces, we can create new interfaces that inherit properties and methods
from existing ones, making it easier to define complex types with reusable code. We can
also use interface extension to define more specific types that share common properties
and methods, which helps us to write more modular and maintainable code.

Classes:

In TypeScript, classes are a way to define objects with properties and methods. Classes
provide a blueprint for creating objects, and allow us to define the properties and methods
that those objects will have.

Here's an example of a simple class:

class Person {

name: string;

age: number;

constructor(name: string, age: number) {

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

sayHello() {
console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I'm ${this.age} years old.`);

const person = new Person("John", 30);

person.sayHello(); // Output: Hello, my name is John and I'm 30 years old.

In this example, we've defined a class called Person with two properties: name of type
string and age of type number. We've also defined a constructor method that takes two
parameters, name and age, and assigns their values to the corresponding properties.

We've then defined a sayHello method that logs a message to the console using the name
and age properties.

We've created an instance of the Person class using the new keyword, passing in the name
and age parameters to the constructor. We've then called the sayHello method on the
person object, which logs a message to the console.

Classes in TypeScript can also inherit from other classes using the extends keyword. This
allows us to define more specific classes that inherit properties and methods from a more
general class.

Here's an example of a class that inherits from another class:

class Student extends Person {

studentId: number;

constructor(name: string, age: number, studentId: number) {

super(name, age);

this.studentId = studentId;

study() {
console.log(`${this.name} is studying with student ID ${this.studentId}.`);

const student = new Student("Jane", 20, 12345);

student.sayHello(); // Output: Hello, my name is Jane and I'm 20 years old.

student.study(); // Output: Jane is studying with student ID 12345.

In this example, we've defined a class called Student that extends the Person class using the
extends keyword. The Student class has an additional property studentId of type number,
and a study method that logs a message to the console using the name and studentId
properties.

We've created an instance of the Student class using the new keyword, passing in the name,
age, and studentId parameters to the constructor. We've then called the sayHello and study
methods on the student object, which logs messages to the console.

Constructor:

In TypeScript, the constructor is a special method that is used to create and initialize objects
created from a class. It is executed automatically when an object is instantiated from a
class.

The constructor method has the same name as the class and can accept zero or more
parameters. It is defined using the constructor keyword followed by parentheses that
contain the parameter list and the method body.

Here's an example of a constructor method in TypeScript:

class Person {

name: string;

age: number;
constructor(name: string, age: number) {

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

In this example, we've defined a class called Person with two properties: name of type
string and age of type number. We've also defined a constructor method that takes two
parameters, name and age, and assigns their values to the corresponding properties using
the this keyword.

We can create an instance of the Person class by using the new keyword and passing in the
name and age parameters to the constructor:

const person = new Person("John", 30);

In this example, we've created a new object called person from the Person class, passing in
the values "John" and 30 for the name and age parameters, respectively.

We can also use default parameter values in the constructor:

class Person {

name: string;

age: number;

constructor(name = "Unknown", age = 0) {

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

}
In this example, we've set default values for the name and age parameters in the
constructor. If no values are passed in when creating an instance of the Person class, the
default values of "Unknown" and 0 will be used for name and age, respectively.

The constructor method can also include access modifiers such as public, private, and
protected to control the visibility of the class properties.

Access Modifiers:

In TypeScript, access modifiers are used to control the visibility and accessibility of class
members (properties and methods) from outside the class. There are three access modifiers
in TypeScript: public, private, and protected.

➢ public modifier: Members declared as public are accessible from anywhere, both
inside and outside the class. This is the default access modifier if none is specified.

Example:

class Person {

public name: string;

constructor(name: string) {

this.name = name;

let person = new Person('John');

console.log(person.name); // Output: John

In this example, name property of the Person class is declared as public. We can access it
outside the class using the person.name statement.

➢ private modifier: Members declared as private are only accessible within the class.
They are not accessible from outside the class, not even from derived classes.
Example:

class Person {

private name: string;

constructor(name: string) {

this.name = name;

greet() {

console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name}!`);

let person = new Person('John');

console.log(person.name); // Error: 'name' is private

person.greet(); // Output: Hello, my name is John!

In this example, name property of the Person class is declared as private. We can't access it
outside the class using the person.name statement. But we can access it within the class
using the this.name statement.

➢ protected modifier: Members declared as protected are accessible within the class
and its subclasses. They are not accessible from outside the class hierarchy.

Example:

class Person {

protected name: string;

constructor(name: string) {
this.name = name;

class Employee extends Person {

private department: string;

constructor(name: string, department: string) {

super(name);

this.department = department;

public getDetails() {

console.log(`Name: ${this.name}, Department: ${this.department}`);

let emp = new Employee('John', 'Sales');

console.log(emp.name); // Error: 'name' is protected

emp.getDetails(); // Output: Name: John, Department: Sales

In this example, name property of the Person class is declared as protected. We can't access
it outside the class hierarchy using the emp.name statement. But we can access it within
the Employee class (subclass of Person class) using the this.name statement.

Properties and Methods:

Properties and methods are two important features of classes in TypeScript.


Properties are variables that belong to an instance of a class, and methods are functions
that belong to a class.

Here's an example of how to create properties and methods in TypeScript:

class Person {

name: string;

age: number;

constructor(name: string, age: number) {

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

greet(): void {

console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I'm ${this.age} years old.`);

let person = new Person('John', 30);

person.greet(); // Output: Hello, my name is John and I'm 30 years old.

In this example, the Person class has two properties: name and age. The constructor
function is used to set the values of these properties when a new instance of the class is
created.

The greet method is a function that belongs to the Person class. It can be called on an
instance of the class using the person.greet() statement. This method uses the this keyword
to refer to the instance of the class and access its properties.
Note that by default, properties in TypeScript are public, which means they can be accessed
from outside the class.

You can also specify the access modifier for a property using the public, private, or
protected keyword. For example:

class Person {

private name: string;

protected age: number;

constructor(name: string, age: number) {

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

getName(): string {

return this.name;

getAge(): number {

return this.age;

let person = new Person('John', 30);

console.log(person.getName()); // Output: John

console.log(person.getAge()); // Output: 30

console.log(person.name); // Error: 'name' is private


console.log(person.age); // Error: 'age' is protected

In this example, the name property is declared as private, which means it can only be
accessed within the Person class. The age property is declared as protected, which means it
can be accessed within the Person class and its subclasses.

The getName and getAge methods are used to get the values of the name and age
properties, respectively. These methods can be called on an instance of the Person class,
but the name and age properties cannot be accessed directly from outside the class.

Creating & Using Namespaces:

In TypeScript, a namespace is a way to group related code together and prevent naming
collisions. Namespaces are similar to modules, but while modules are used to organize code
that will be compiled to separate files, namespaces are used to organize code within a
single file.

To create a namespace in TypeScript, you can use the namespace keyword followed by the
namespace name and the code that should be included in the namespace. Here's an
example:

namespace MyNamespace {

export interface Person {

name: string;

age: number;

export function greet(person: Person): void {

console.log(`Hello, my name is ${person.name} and I'm ${person.age} years old.`);

}
let person: MyNamespace.Person = { name: 'John', age: 30 };

MyNamespace.greet(person); // Output: Hello, my name is John and I'm 30 years old.

In this example, we've created a namespace called MyNamespace. Inside the namespace,
we've defined an interface called Person and a function called greet that takes a Person
object as a parameter and logs a greeting to the console.

Note that we've used the export keyword to make the Person interface and the greet
function available outside the namespace.

To use the Person interface and the greet function, we can refer to them using the
namespace name followed by a dot notation, like MyNamespace.Person and
MyNamespace.greet.

Using namespaces can help avoid naming collisions, especially when working with large
projects that have many modules and components. However, it's important to use them
judiciously and avoid creating deeply nested namespaces, as this can make the code harder
to read and maintain.

Creating and using Modules:

In TypeScript, modules are used to organize code into reusable, self-contained units of
functionality. Each module can have its own private variables and functions, which are not
accessible from outside the module, as well as public variables and functions that can be
used by other modules.

To create a module in TypeScript, you can use the export keyword to export variables and
functions that you want to make available outside the module. Here's an example:

export interface Person {

name: string;

age: number;

export function greet(person: Person): void {


console.log(`Hello, my name is ${person.name} and I'm ${person.age} years old.`);

In this example, we've created a module that exports an interface called Person and a
function called greet.

To use the Person interface and the greet function in another module or in your application
code, you can use the import statement. Here's an example:

import { Person, greet } from './my-module';

let person: Person = { name: 'John', age: 30 };

greet(person); // Output: Hello, my name is John and I'm 30 years old.

In this example, we've imported the Person interface and the greet function from the my-
module.ts file using the import statement. We can then use these exported variables and
functions as if they were defined in our own code.

Note that we've used the file path './my-module' as the import specifier to indicate the
location of the module. This path is relative to the file that is importing the module.

You can also export classes and other constructs from a module in TypeScript. To export a
class, you can use the export keyword before the class definition. To import a class from a
module, you can use the import statement with the same syntax as for variables and
functions.

export class Greeter {

constructor(private message: string) {}

greet(name: string): void {

console.log(`${this.message}, ${name}!`);

}
import { Greeter } from './greeter';

let greeter = new Greeter('Hello');

greeter.greet('John'); // Output: Hello, John!

In this example, we've defined a Greeter class in a module and exported it using the export
keyword. We can then import the Greeter class in another module and use it to create
instances of the Greeter class.

Module Formats and Loaders:

When working with modules in TypeScript, you have several options for the module format
and the module loader that you can use to load and execute your modules.

Module formats specify the syntax used to define and import modules in your code, while
module loaders specify how modules are loaded and executed at runtime. Here are some of
the most common module formats and loaders used in TypeScript:

Module Formats

CommonJS

The CommonJS module format is used in Node.js and allows you to define modules using
the module.exports and require statements. This format is well-suited for server-side
development, but may not be the best choice for web applications due to its synchronous
loading behavior.

ES modules

ES modules are the standard module format for JavaScript, and are supported by modern
browsers and Node.js. ES modules use the import and export statements to define and
import modules. This format allows for more fine-grained control over dependencies and
supports asynchronous loading, making it a good choice for web applications.

AMD

Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) is a module format used by RequireJS and other
AMD loaders. AMD modules use the define function to define modules, and the require
function to import them. This format is well-suited for web applications, as it supports
asynchronous loading and allows for modular code organization.

Module Loaders

Node.js

Node.js is a popular server-side platform that uses the CommonJS module format and the
Node.js module loader to load modules at runtime. Node.js provides a built-in require
function that allows you to load modules from the local file system or from third-party
packages installed via npm.

Webpack

Webpack is a popular module bundler that can be used to package your TypeScript modules
into a single JavaScript file that can be loaded in the browser. Webpack supports multiple
module formats and can handle dependencies between modules, making it a powerful tool
for building complex web applications.

SystemJS

SystemJS is a dynamic module loader that can load modules in multiple formats, including
CommonJS, AMD, and ES modules. SystemJS allows you to load modules at runtime, which
can be useful for applications that need to dynamically load modules based on user
interactions or other runtime conditions.

In summary, when working with TypeScript modules, you have several options for the
module format and loader that you can use. The choice of format and loader will depend on
the requirements of your application and the platforms on which it will be deployed.

Module Vs Namespace:

In TypeScript, both modules and namespaces serve as a way to organize code and
encapsulate functionality, but they are not interchangeable and have different use cases.

Modules
Modules in TypeScript are used to define and organize code in separate files, and to
manage dependencies between different parts of an application. A module can export
variables, functions, classes, and other entities that can be consumed by other modules.

Modules in TypeScript support various module formats, such as CommonJS, AMD, and ES6
modules, and can be loaded using module loaders such as Node.js, Webpack, and SystemJS.

Namespaces

Namespaces in TypeScript are used to group related code and avoid naming conflicts. A
namespace can contain variables, functions, classes, and interfaces, and can be nested to
create a hierarchical organization of code.

Unlike modules, namespaces do not have a separate file scope, and all entities in a
namespace are in the same global scope. This can sometimes lead to naming conflicts if
multiple namespaces define entities with the same name.

Namespaces in TypeScript are similar to namespaces in other languages such as C# and


Java, and can be useful for organizing large codebases into logical units.

When to use Modules vs Namespaces

In general, you should use modules in TypeScript to organize code across different files and
manage dependencies between different parts of an application. Modules allow you to
easily reuse and share code, and provide a clear separation of concerns between different
parts of an application.

Namespaces, on the other hand, are best used to organize related code within a single file
or a small set of files. Namespaces can be useful for avoiding naming conflicts, but should
be used sparingly to avoid cluttering the global namespace.

In summary, while both modules and namespaces are useful for organizing code in
TypeScript, they have different use cases and should be used appropriately depending on
the requirements of your application.

What is Generics: msd external pdf pg:13


Generics in TypeScript allow you to write reusable code that can work with different types
of data. Generics provide a way to define functions, classes, and interfaces that can operate
on a range of types, without knowing the specific type at compile-time.

In TypeScript, generics are represented by type parameters, which are placeholders for
specific types. Type parameters are declared using angle brackets < >, and can be used to
define the type of function parameters, return types, and class properties.

Here's an example of a simple generic function in TypeScript that takes an array of any type
and returns the first element of the array:

function getFirst<T>(arr: T[]): T {

return arr[0];

let arr1 = [1, 2, 3];

let arr2 = ["a", "b", "c"];

console.log(getFirst<number>(arr1)); // output: 1

console.log(getFirst<string>(arr2)); // output: "a"

In this example, the getFirst function takes an array of type T and returns the first element
of that array, which is also of type T. The <T> syntax in the function signature declares the
type parameter T, which can be any type.

When calling the function, we specify the type of T using angle brackets. In the first call, we
specify T as number, and in the second call, we specify T as string.

Generics can also be used to define classes and interfaces. Here's an example of a generic
class that represents a stack of elements of any type:

class Stack<T> {

private items: T[] = [];


push(item: T) {

this.items.push(item);

pop(): T | undefined {

return this.items.pop();

let stack1 = new Stack<number>();

stack1.push(1);

stack1.push(2);

console.log(stack1.pop()); // output: 2

let stack2 = new Stack<string>();

stack2.push("a");

stack2.push("b");

console.log(stack2.pop()); // output: "b"

In this example, the Stack class is defined as a generic class with a type parameter T. The
class contains two methods, push and pop, which operate on elements of type T. When
creating an instance of the Stack class, we specify the type of T using angle brackets, just
like we did with the getFirst function.

Generics provide a powerful way to write reusable code in TypeScript, and are used
extensively in many popular libraries and frameworks, such as Angular and React.

What are Type Parameters:


In TypeScript, type parameters are a feature that allows you to create generic types,
functions, and classes that can work with different types of data, without knowing the
specific type at compile-time. Type parameters act as placeholders for the actual types that
will be used when the code is executed.

Type parameters are declared using angle brackets < > and can be used to define the type
of function parameters, return types, and class properties. For example, consider the
following generic function that swaps two elements of an array:

function swap<T>(arr: T[], i: number, j: number): void {

const temp = arr[i];

arr[i] = arr[j];

arr[j] = temp;

In this function, T is a type parameter that represents the type of elements in the array.
When calling the function, you specify the actual type of T, such as number or string.

const arr1: number[] = [1, 2, 3];

swap<number>(arr1, 0, 2); // swaps the first and third elements of the array

Type parameters can also be used to define generic classes. For example, consider the
following Stack class that can hold elements of any type:

class Stack<T> {

private items: T[] = [];

push(item: T) {

this.items.push(item);

pop(): T | undefined {
return this.items.pop();

In this class, T is a type parameter that represents the type of elements in the stack. When
creating an instance of the Stack class, you specify the actual type of T, such as number or
string.

const stack1 = new Stack<number>();

stack1.push(1);

stack1.push(2);

console.log(stack1.pop()); // prints 2

const stack2 = new Stack<string>();

stack2.push("hello");

stack2.push("world");

console.log(stack2.pop()); // prints "world"

Type parameters provide a powerful way to write generic code in TypeScript, making it
more flexible and reusable.

Generic Functions:

In TypeScript, you can create generic functions using type parameters. Generic functions
allow you to write code that works with different types of data without having to specify
the type upfront.

Here's an example of a generic function that takes an array of values of any type and
returns the last element of the array:
function getLast<T>(arr: T[]): T | undefined {

return arr[arr.length - 1];

In this function, T is a type parameter that represents the type of elements in the array.
When the function is called, the type parameter is replaced with an actual type, such as
number or string.

Here's an example of how you can call the getLast function with different types of arrays:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3];

const lastNumber = getLast(numbers); // inferred type: number | undefined

const strings = ["hello", "world"];

const lastString = getLast(strings); // inferred type: string | undefined

const empty = [];

const lastEmpty = getLast(empty); // inferred type: undefined

Note that the inferred type of the return value depends on the type of the array passed as
an argument. In this example, the return type is either the type of the elements in the array
or undefined if the array is empty.

You can also explicitly specify the type parameter when calling the function:

const lastNumber = getLast<number>(numbers); // explicitly specify the type parameter

Generic functions provide a powerful way to write reusable code in TypeScript that can
work with different types of data.

Generic Constraints:

In TypeScript, you can use generic constraints to restrict the types that can be used as type
parameters in generic functions or classes. A generic constraint allows you to specify that a
type parameter must extend a particular type or set of types.
Here's an example of a generic function that uses a generic constraint to restrict the types
of its input:

interface HasLength {

length: number;

function getFirst<T extends HasLength>(arr: T): T extends any[] ? T[number] : T {

return arr[0];

In this function, the generic type parameter T is constrained to be a type that implements
the HasLength interface. The HasLength interface requires that any implementing type must
have a length property of type number.

The return type of the getFirst function uses a conditional type to determine whether the
input array is an array of some type or not. If it is, the function returns the type of the
elements of the array, otherwise it returns the original type T.

Here's an example of how you can call the getFirst function with different types of input:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3];

const firstNumber = getFirst(numbers); // inferred type: number

const strings = ["hello", "world"];

const firstString = getFirst(strings); // inferred type: string

const obj = { length: 5 };

const firstObj = getFirst(obj); // inferred type: { length: number }

Note that the inferred type of the return value depends on the type of the input passed as
an argument. In this example, the return type is either the type of the elements in the array
or the original type T.
Generic constraints provide a powerful way to write more type-safe and reusable code in
TypeScript by ensuring that the types used as type parameters meet certain requirements.

MONGO DB
Mongo DB:

MongoDB is a popular open-source NoSQL database that uses a document-oriented data


model instead of the traditional relational data model used by SQL databases. MongoDB
stores data in flexible, semi-structured JSON-like documents, which can have fields that vary
from document to document. This makes it easy to store and retrieve complex,
unstructured data, such as social media posts, user comments, and product catalogs.

MongoDB is designed to be highly scalable, fault-tolerant, and easy to use. It provides high-
performance, real-time data access, and can handle large volumes of data with ease.
MongoDB also offers a range of advanced features, such as support for distributed
databases, automatic sharding, and full-text search, that make it a popular choice for
modern web and mobile applications.

Why Mongo DB:

This knowledge will serve as a foundation for further learning in MongoDB and building
applications with this popular NoSQL database.

Document Database Overview:

MongoDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database, which means it stores data as semi-


structured JSON-like documents instead of tables with rows and columns like in traditional
relational databases. Here are some key aspects of MongoDB's document database:

1. Documents: In MongoDB, data is stored as documents, which are similar to rows in a


traditional database table but with a more flexible structure. Each document can have a
different structure, and you can store nested objects and arrays within documents.

2. Collections: Documents are organized into collections, which are similar to tables in a
traditional database. Collections can contain any number of documents, and each
document can have a different structure.

3. Dynamic Schema: MongoDB has a dynamic schema, which means that you don't need to
define a fixed schema before inserting data. You can insert documents with different
structures and fields at any time.

4. Indexing: MongoDB supports various types of indexes, which can improve query
performance and optimize data retrieval. Indexes can be created on any field within a
document, including fields within nested objects and arrays.

5. Querying: MongoDB provides a powerful query language that allows you to retrieve data
from collections based on specific criteria. You can use a wide range of operators and
functions to filter, sort, and aggregate data.

6. Aggregation: MongoDB's aggregation framework provides a powerful way to analyze and


manipulate data within collections. It allows you to group, filter, and transform data using a
pipeline of stages.

Overall, MongoDB's document database provides a flexible and scalable way to store and
retrieve data, making it an ideal choice for modern web and mobile applications. By using a
document-oriented data model, MongoDB allows you to store and access complex,
unstructured data with ease, and provides powerful query and aggregation capabilities to
help you analyze and manipulate your data.
Understanding JSON:

MongoDB stores data in the form of JSON-like documents, which means that data is
represented in a semi-structured format that is similar to JSON. Here's how JSON is used in
MongoDB:

Data Format: MongoDB stores data in documents, which are similar to JSON objects. Each
document is represented as a set of key-value pairs, with field names and values separated
by a colon. For example, a document in MongoDB could look like this:

"_id": ObjectId("60b4a6f786ec6b00516d7f1a"),

"name": "John Smith",

"age": 35,

"email": "john.smith@example.com",

"address": {

"street": "123 Main St",

"city": "Anytown",

"state": "CA",

"zip": "12345"

Dynamic Schema: MongoDB has a dynamic schema, which means that you can insert
documents with different structures and fields at any time. This flexibility allows you to
store and access data without having to define a fixed schema beforehand.

Querying: MongoDB provides a powerful query language that allows you to retrieve data
from documents based on specific criteria.
The query language uses a syntax that is similar to JSON, with key-value pairs and operators.
For example, to retrieve all documents with an age greater than 30, you could use the
following query:

db.users.find({ age: { $gt: 30 } })

Indexing: MongoDB supports various types of indexes that can improve query performance
and optimize data retrieval. Indexes can be created on any field within a document,
including fields within nested objects and arrays.

Overall, MongoDB's use of JSON-like documents makes it easy to store and access data in a
flexible and scalable way. By using a document-oriented data model, MongoDB allows you
to store and access complex, unstructured data with ease, and provides powerful query and
indexing capabilities to help you retrieve and analyze your data.

MongoDB Structure and Architecture:

MongoDB Structure

1. Database: A MongoDB database is a container for collections. Each database has a


unique name and can contain any number of collections.

2. Collection: A collection is a group of MongoDB documents. Collections are similar to


tables in a traditional relational database. Collections can contain any number of
documents, and each document can have a different structure.

3. Document: A document is a set of key-value pairs that represent a record in a collection.


Documents are similar to rows in a table in a traditional relational database. MongoDB
documents are composed of fields, which can include sub-documents and arrays.

4. Field: A field is a key-value pair within a document. Fields are similar to columns in a table
in a traditional relational database. Fields can contain a variety of data types, including
strings, numbers, booleans, dates, and more.

5. Index: A MongoDB index is a data structure that improves the speed of queries on a
collection. Indexes can be created on any field within a document, including fields within
nested objects and arrays. MongoDB supports various types of indexes, including single
field, compound, and text indexes.
6. GridFS: MongoDB provides a protocol for storing and retrieving large files, called GridFS.
GridFS is useful when you need to store files that exceed the BSON document size limit of
16MB.

Overall, MongoDB's structure is designed to be flexible, scalable, and document-oriented.


By using a document-oriented data model, MongoDB allows you to store and access
complex, unstructured data with ease, and provides powerful query and indexing
capabilities to help you retrieve and analyze your data.

Mongo DB Architecture

1. Cluster: MongoDB's architecture is designed to be highly scalable and distributed. It is


typically deployed as a cluster of servers, where each server is a node in the cluster. Each
node can store a portion of the data, and the cluster as a whole can handle large volumes of
data with ease.

2. Replica Set: A replica set is a group of MongoDB servers that work together to provide
high availability and data redundancy. Each replica set contains a primary node and one or
more secondary nodes. The primary node handles all write operations, while the secondary
nodes replicate the data from the primary node and can take over if the primary node fails.

3. Sharding: MongoDB supports sharding, which is a way to horizontally partition data


across multiple servers or shards. Sharding allows you to distribute data across multiple
servers, which can improve query performance and handle large volumes of data.

4. Memory Mapped Files (MMAP): MongoDB uses Memory Mapped Files (MMAP) for data
storage. This allows MongoDB to use the operating system's virtual memory system for
caching frequently accessed data, which can improve performance.

5. WiredTiger: MongoDB also supports WiredTiger as a storage engine. WiredTiger is a high-


performance, compressed, and scalable storage engine that supports multi-threaded access
to data.

6. Query Router: The query router is responsible for directing queries to the appropriate
shard in a sharded cluster. The query router acts as a proxy between clients and the shard
servers.
7. Balancer: The balancer is responsible for balancing the distribution of data across shards
in a sharded cluster. The balancer runs as a background process and periodically checks the
distribution of data across shards, moving chunks of data as necessary to maintain a
balanced distribution.

8. Backup and Recovery: MongoDB provides built-in tools for backup and recovery,
including hot backups, point-in-time recovery, and backup validation.

Overall, MongoDB's architecture is designed to be flexible, scalable, and distributed. By


using a cluster of servers, replica sets, and sharding, MongoDB can handle large volumes of
data and provide high availability and data redundancy. By using Memory Mapped Files
(MMAP) and WiredTiger as storage engines, MongoDB provides high-performance storage
options that can be tailored to specific use cases. The query router and balancer enable
MongoDB to efficiently handle queries across a distributed environment, while built-in
backup and recovery tools ensure data availability and durability.

a GUI-based interface for managing MongoDB clusters in the cloud. It offers automatic
scaling, backup and recovery, and built-in security features such as encryption and
monitoring.

2. MongoDB Cloud Manager: MongoDB Cloud Manager is a web-based management


service that provides automation and monitoring features for MongoDB deployments. It
supports both on-premise and cloud-based MongoDB deployments.

3. Ops Manager: Ops Manager is a comprehensive management platform for MongoDB


that provides automation, monitoring, and backup and recovery features. It is designed for
enterprise-level MongoDB deployments and supports on-premise and cloud-based
deployments.

4. Third-party management tools: There are several third-party management tools


available for MongoDB, such as Studio 3T, Robo 3T, and NoSQLBooster.
These tools provide GUI-based interfaces for managing MongoDB databases and offer
features such as data modeling, query visualization, and performance optimization.

Overall, MongoDB provides several options for remote management of its database
instances, ranging from fully managed cloud services to comprehensive on-premise
solutions. These tools offer automation, monitoring, backup and recovery, and security
features that can help you manage your MongoDB databases more effectively.

Introduction to the MongoDB Shell:

The MongoDB shell is a command-line interface for interacting with MongoDB databases.
It's a powerful tool that allows you to manage your databases, collections, and documents
using a simple yet flexible syntax.

To launch the MongoDB shell, you can simply open a terminal or command prompt and
type `mongo`. This will start the shell and connect you to the default MongoDB instance
running on your local machine.

Once you're connected to the shell, you can perform a variety of tasks such as:
1. Creating and managing databases and collections

2. Inserting, updating, and deleting documents

3. Running queries and aggregations

4. Managing indexes and backups

The MongoDB shell uses a JavaScript-based syntax, which means that you can write scripts
and functions to automate common tasks and perform more complex operations.

Here are a few basic commands to get you started with the MongoDB shell:

1. `show dbs`: Show a list of all databases on the current MongoDB instance.

2. `use <database>`: Switch to the specified database.

3. `db.createCollection("<collection>")`: Create a new collection in the current database.

4. `db.<collection>.insertOne(<document>)`: Insert a new document into the specified


collection.

5. `db.<collection>.find()`: Retrieve all documents from the specified collection.

6. `db.<collection>.updateOne(<filter>, <update>)`: Update the first document that


matches the specified filter in the specified collection.

7. `db.<collection>.deleteOne(<filter>)`: Delete the first document that matches the


specified filter in the specified collection.

These are just a few examples of the many commands available in the MongoDB shell. With
some practice and experimentation, you can become proficient at using the shell to manage
your MongoDB databases and collections.

MongoDB Shell JavaScript Engine:


The MongoDB shell uses a JavaScript engine to execute commands and interact with the
database. The default JavaScript engine used by MongoDB is V8, which is also used by the
Google Chrome browser and Node.js.

This means that you can use all of the features of the JavaScript language when working
with the MongoDB shell. For example, you can define variables, use loops and conditional
statements, and even define functions to perform more complex operations.

Here's an example of using a loop and a conditional statement in the MongoDB shell to
update multiple documents in a collection:

var collection = db.getCollection("mycollection");

// Get all documents where the "status" field is "active"

var documents = collection.find({ "status": "active" });

// Loop through each document and update the "status" field to "inactive"

documents.forEach(function(doc) {

collection.updateOne(

{ "_id": doc._id },

{ "$set": { "status": "inactive" } }

);

});

In this example, we're using the `find()` method to retrieve all documents in the
"mycollection" collection where the "status" field is set to "active". We then loop through
each document using the `forEach()` method, and update the "status" field to "inactive"
using the `updateOne()` method.

This is just a simple example, but the MongoDB shell and its JavaScript engine allow you to
perform much more complex operations and queries. With some practice and
experimentation, you can become proficient at using the shell to manage your MongoDB
databases and collections.

MongoDB Shell JavaScript Syntax:

The MongoDB shell uses a JavaScript-based syntax for executing commands and interacting
with the database. This means that you can use all of the features of the JavaScript
language when working with MongoDB, including variables, loops, conditional statements,
and functions.

Here are some basic examples of the JavaScript syntax used in the MongoDB shell:

1. Variables: You can define variables using the `var` keyword. For example:

var x = 5;

2. Loops: You can use loops like `for` and `while` to iterate over data. For example:

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

print(i);

3. Conditional statements: You can use `if` and `else` statements to perform conditional
logic. For example:

var x = 5;

if (x > 10) {

print("x is greater than 10");

} else {

print("x is less than or equal to 10");

}
4. Functions: You can define and use functions to perform more complex operations. For
example:

function add(x, y) {

return x + y;

var result = add(3, 4);

print(result); // prints 7

These are just a few examples of the JavaScript syntax used in the MongoDB shell. With
some practice and experimentation, you can become proficient at using the shell to manage
your MongoDB databases and collections.

Introduction to the MongoDB Data Types:

MongoDB supports a wide range of data types that you can use to store and manipulate
data in your databases. Here's an overview of the most commonly used MongoDB data
types:

1. String: A sequence of UTF-8 characters, used to represent text. Strings are enclosed in
double quotes (").

2. Number: A numeric value, either an integer or a floating-point number. MongoDB


supports several types of number, including 32-bit and 64-bit integers, and 64-bit floating-
point numbers.

3. Boolean: A value that is either true or false.

4. Date: A date and time value, represented as a 64-bit integer that stores the number of
milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970).

5. Object: A nested document that can contain other fields and values.

6. Array: An ordered list of values, represented as a nested document with integer keys.
7. ObjectId: A unique identifier for a document, automatically generated by MongoDB.
ObjectId values are 12-byte binary values that include a timestamp, a machine identifier, a
process identifier, and a counter.

8. Binary data: A binary value, used to represent arbitrary data such as images or audio
files.

9. Regular expression: A pattern used to match text, represented as a string with optional
flags.

10. Null: A value that represents the absence of a value.

These data types can be used in a variety of ways in MongoDB, and you can also create your
own custom data types using MongoDB's flexible schema design capabilities.

Introduction to the CRUD Operations on documents:

CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete, and these are the basic operations that
you can perform on documents in MongoDB. Here's a brief overview of each operation:

1. Create: To create a new document in MongoDB, you can use the `insertOne` or
`insertMany` method. For example:

db.myCollection.insertOne({ name: "John", age: 30 });

This will insert a new document with the `name` and `age` fields into the `myCollection`
collection.

2. Read: To retrieve documents from MongoDB, you can use the `find` method. For
example:

db.myCollection.find({ name: "John" });

This will return all documents in the `myCollection` collection that have a `name` field equal
to "John".

3. Update: To update an existing document in MongoDB, you can use the `updateOne` or
`updateMany` method. For example:
db.myCollection.updateOne({ name: "John" }, { $set: { age: 35 } });

This will update the `age` field of the first document in the `myCollection` collection that has
a `name` field equal to "John" to 35.

4. Delete: To remove documents from MongoDB, you can use the `deleteOne` or
`deleteMany` method. For example:

db.myCollection.deleteOne({ name: "John" });

This will delete the first document in the `myCollection` collection that has a `name` field
equal to "John".

These are the basic CRUD operations that you can perform on documents in MongoDB.
With these operations, you can manage your data and collections in a flexible and powerful
way.

Create and Delete Databases and Collections:

In MongoDB, you can create and delete databases and collections using the following
commands:

1. Creating a database: To create a new database in MongoDB, you can use the `use`
command followed by the name of the database. For example:

use myDatabase

This will create a new database called `myDatabase`. Note that this command does not
actually create the database until you insert data into it.

2. Creating a collection: To create a new collection in MongoDB, you can use the
`createCollection` method. For example:

db.createCollection("myCollection")

This will create a new collection called `myCollection` in the current database.

3. Deleting a database: To delete a database in MongoDB, you can use the `dropDatabase`
method. For example:
use myDatabase

db.dropDatabase()

This will delete the `myDatabase` database and all its collections.

4. Deleting a collection: To delete a collection in MongoDB, you can use the `drop` method.
For example:

db.myCollection.drop()

This will delete the `myCollection` collection from the current database.

Note that deleting a database or collection is a permanent operation, so be sure to use


these commands with caution. Also, keep in mind that dropping a collection does not delete
the data that was stored in it, so be sure to back up your data before deleting any
collections.

Introduction to MongoDB Queries:

In MongoDB, queries are used to retrieve data from a collection based on certain criteria.
MongoDB uses a powerful and flexible query language that allows you to filter, sort, and
limit the data returned by a query.

Here are some examples of basic queries in MongoDB:

1. Find all documents in a collection:

db.myCollection.find()

This will return all documents in the `myCollection` collection.

2. Find documents that match a specific condition:

db.myCollection.find({ name: "John" })

This will return all documents in the `myCollection` collection that have a `name` field equal
to "John".

3. Find documents with multiple conditions:


db.myCollection.find({ name: "John", age: { $gt: 30 } })

This will return all documents in the `myCollection` collection that have a `name` field equal
to "John" and an `age` field greater than 30.

4. Sort the results of a query:

db.myCollection.find().sort({ age: -1 })

This will return all documents in the `myCollection` collection sorted by the `age` field in
descending order.

5. Limit the number of results:

db.myCollection.find().limit(10)

This will return the first 10 documents in the `myCollection` collection.

These are just a few examples of the types of queries you can perform in MongoDB. With its
flexible and powerful query language, you can retrieve data from your collections in a wide
variety of ways.
