TypeScript code review: types, structure and errors

Example result

Example for the Standard package

Code review: Python order-import script for a small online shop

What the code does

  1. Reads orders.csv from the shop export.
  2. For each order line, finds the product by SKU in stock.xlsx and subtracts the quantity.
  3. Writes the updated stock back and logs totals to import_log.txt.

The structure is clear and functions are well named. Most issues are about input that does not look the way the script expects.

Bugs and weak spots

#LineSeverityIssue
148HighThe same CSV can be imported twice; there is no check for already processed order IDs. This is the most likely cause of negative stock.
272Highint(row["qty"]) crashes on empty or "2.0" values from refunded orders.
395MediumSKU lookup is case-sensitive: "gt-101" and "GT-101" are treated as different products.
4130MediumThe file is opened without encoding="utf-8", so product names with accents break on Windows.
5201LowBare except: hides real errors and makes the log useless.

Corrected fragments

Issue 1: skip orders already imported

processed = load_processed_ids("processed_orders.txt")
for row in reader:
    if row["order_id"] in processed:
        continue
    # ... existing logic ...
    processed.add(row["order_id"])
save_processed_ids("processed_orders.txt", processed)

Why: each order is applied once, even if you run the script on the same file again.

Issue 2: read quantity safely

raw = (row.get("qty") or "").strip()
try:
    qty = int(float(raw))
except ValueError:
    log.warning("Order %s: bad quantity %r, skipped", row["order_id"], raw)
    continue

Why: refunded or partial lines are skipped with a clear note instead of stopping the whole import.

Issue 3: normalise SKUs

sku = row["sku"].strip().upper()

Apply the same .strip().upper() when building the stock dictionary.

Style and readability

  • process() is 90 lines long; split it into read_orders, apply_to_stock, write_report.
  • Replace magic column numbers (row[7]) with header names.

Please test each fix on a copy of your files: we read the code but did not run it.

Client: owner of a tea shop who wrote a 310-line Python script that imports orders from a CSV export into the stock spreadsheet Problem reported: "Sometimes stock goes negative, and the script crashes on some files."

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

TypeScript only protects you when the types say what the code really does, and many projects slowly fill up with any, unchecked type assertions and optional fields that are never really optional. We read your code and type definitions, explain the compiler errors you are stuck on, and show where narrowing, union types or a small generic would replace a cast. Corrected fragments keep the strict mode in mind, so the fixes hold up when the compiler gets stricter.

What is included

  • What you getA written review on the order page: compiler errors explained, weak types listed by risk, and corrected fragments with better type definitions. Premium adds a plan for turning on stricter compiler options step by step.
  • Compiler errors decodedLong messages in plain words
  • Fewer any and castsSafer types in their place
  • Narrowing and unionsLet the compiler check branches
  • Interfaces and genericsReusable, readable type definitions
  • Fixed fragmentsWith a note on each change

How it works

  1. 1
    BriefYou paste code, types and errors
  2. 2
    ReadingWe check types against real behaviour
  3. 3
    ReviewYou get explanations and better types

What we need from you

The TypeScript code and types pasted as text or screenshots, your tsconfig settings, the TypeScript version and the exact compiler errors.

We will ask you:

  • Which TypeScript version and framework?
  • Is strict mode turned on?
  • Which compiler errors or type problems block you?
  • Are you moving a JavaScript project to TypeScript?

Payment protection

You pay when you order, but the money is released only for accepted work.

  • Fixed priceThe package price does not change after you pay.
  • The money is reservedWhen you pay, the amount is only reserved. It is released to the service once you accept the work.
  • Checked before deliveryEvery result goes through a quality check before it reaches you, and you see it on the order page before accepting it.
  • Free revisionsAsk for changes within your brief as many times as the package allows.
  • Acceptance after 3 daysIf within 3 days of delivery you neither accept the work nor ask for changes, it is accepted automatically. If you write in the order chat after delivery, the order waits; once we answer, we may start the 3 days again and will say so in the chat.
  • Redo or a full refundIf the result does not match your brief and the revisions did not fix it, or the work takes more than twice its deadline, write in the order chat: we will redo the work or refund the payment in full.

Questions and answers

Do you run my code?

No. We read it carefully and reason about how it behaves, but we do not execute it, so test every suggested fix in your own project.

Can you just tell me how to silence the error?

We can, but we first show what the error is protecting you from, and offer a typed fix where one exists.

Do you help with migrating from JavaScript?

Yes. Paste the files you are converting and we suggest the types and the order to convert them in.
