In this first installment of our SAP blog series, we dive into how switching from JavaScript to TypeScript has revolutionized SAPUI5 development and how automating market rates in SAP Public Cloud enhances financial operations.

Why we shifted from JavaScript to TypeScript in SAPUI5 Development?

At coalsoft, we have spent years refining our SAPUI5 applications, and one of the most impactful improvements was transitioning our codebase from JavaScript to TypeScript. „The move to TypeScript wasn't just about following trends. It was about improving code reliability, maintainability, and developer efficiency in our SAPUI5 projects,“ says Petr Bečka.

Key Benefits of TypeScript in SAPUI5

Stronger type safety – Identifying bugs before runtime, reducing production failures.
Improved maintainability – Code is easier to read and understand, reducing onboarding time for new developers.
Enhanced developer experience – Better tooling support and autocompletion, increasing development speed.

Instead, we saw a drastic drop in runtime errors and a noticeable increase in team efficiency. Our SAPUI5 codebase is now more robust, scalable, and easier to debug,“ adds Petr.
