# TypeScript and Sass

Web development without JavaScript and CSS can hardly be called web development. As for modern web development, the tools of choice are [TypeScript ](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)and [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/).

Both are more-or-less syntactic sugar around JavaScript and CSS, respectively, but they go a long way in ensuring that the code is easier to read and maintain.

While not strictly part of the DWS WP Framework, the example plugin used on [the respective tutorial page](/your-first-plugin.md) comes with a pre-configured setup for compiling TS and SCSS files into JS and CSS files, respectively, using [Grunt tasks](/key-concepts-and-dev-tools/task-runners-grunt.md) (together with a few other post-optimizations).

Using TypeScript and Sass is **not** part of this documentation, but they are mentioned since we strongly recommend using them in any modern project to minimize bugs and increase developer satisfaction.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://framework.deep-web-solutions.com/key-concepts-and-dev-tools/typescript-and-sass.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
