# Typescript migration
## Introduce `abstract` & `override`
- find all methods and getters that throw or are empty in base classes and turn into abstract method or if all methods are abstract, into an interface.
- change child impls to not call super.method and to add override
- don't allow implicit override in ts config
## Use `type` rather than `interface` for named parameters and POJO return values.
`type` and `interface` can be used somewhat interchangebly used, but let's use `type` to describe data and `interface` to describe (polymorphic) behaviour.
Good examples of data are option objects to have named parameters, and POJO (plain old javascript objects) without any methods, just fields.
