CfgMgmtCamp 2026 Ghent

While JavaScript has long been the backbone of the Foreman frontend, both for plugins and core alike, I decided to shake things up for foreman_ansible_director.
A year and over 9,000 lines of TypeScript code later, I'm here to share what I learned.

This talk will explore:

• The surprisingly smooth integration of TypeScript into an existing JavaScript ecosystem
• The real benefits of type safety
• Interoperability with existing code
• What this implies for packaging

This talk isn’t just about TypeScript - it’s a story of how type safety can reduce errors, make life easier for developers, and improve maintainability of the codebase.
