## TypeScript
This project and the components are written in TypeScript. We recommend using TypeScript for your project as well.
However we provide a JavaScript version of the components as well. The JavaScript version is available via the [cli](/docs/cli).
To opt-out of TypeScript, you can use the `typescript` flag in your `components.json` file.
```json {9} title="components.json"
{
"style": "default",
"tailwind": {
"config": "tailwind.config.js",
"css": "src/app/globals.css",
"baseColor": "zinc",
"cssVariables": true
},
"typescript": false,
"aliases": {
"utils": "~/lib/utils",
"components": "~/components"
}
}
```
To configure import aliases, you can use the following `jsconfig.json`:
```json {4} title="jsconfig.json"
{
"compilerOptions": {
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./*"]
}
}
}
```
