# Zero-Config Environments For Trying Out Types

I've found a few zero-config environments for trying out TypeScript. These are environments where you can write out type definitions, use them in code, and see type errors as they arise. These are great if you are following along with an article as opposed to working with an existing project.

1. [The TypeScript Playground](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play)

This is the quickest environment to jump into. Though TS settings can be configured, it is just a playground. It is to grab a link to share.

1. [Codesandbox's ts.new](https://ts.new)

This URL shortcut will spin up a brand-new Vanilla TypeScript codesandbox project. This is a more full-fledged development environment for a TypeScript project, though still in the bowser. It is also easy to share, and you can download/export the code.

1. [TSDX](https://tsdx.io/)

This is a zero-config CLI for generating a TypeScript project for package development. It can generate Vanilla and React TypeScript projects. This lets you develop on your machine, rather than in a browser. You'll now need to push the code to somewhere like GitHub to share it.
