11. Using TypeScript interfaces for forms

Transcript

00:00
This is completely optional, but throughout the course, we're also going to provide interfaces for the forms that we're building. Kind of makes sense.
00:06
So if we come over to our index.typescript global and pull out a new interface here, let's create one for our login form. We know that as part of this form, we have an email address and a password. So let's go ahead and define these two things out now.
00:22
And now that we've got this, we can go ahead and type this as well. So we can just provide login form in here. And now we know that we've got an email and a password. Once again, this makes it really simple.
00:33
When you are writing this stuff out, you know that you are getting an email address in here and you also know that you're getting a password. This is completely optional, but since we're working in TypeScript by default with Nuxt, it kind of makes sense to define these out.

Episode summary

In this episode, we're diving into how to use TypeScript interfaces to make handling forms in our app a bit smoother. We walk through the process of defining an interface for a simple login form, which just includes an email and a password.

You'll see how easy it is to set this up in your project—just create a new interface in your global TypeScript file (like index.ts), and then you can use that interface to type your form data. This gives you the benefits of type checking and helpful tooling, and makes your form handling clearer and more predictable.

It's worth mentioning that setting up these interfaces is totally optional, but since we're using TypeScript with Nuxt by default, it makes a lot of sense to take advantage of type safety wherever we can. So in this lesson, you'll get a quick, practical look at adding interfaces to your forms for a smoother development experience.
