I had done the Yatzy refactoring kata (https://github.com/emilybache/Yatzy-Refactoring-Kata) a few times before. I think once it was in Kotlin, and once in Java. However, due to time constraint, I never managed to finish the kata. I think I was pair-programming with one of my work colleagues, and we only had around 90 minutes to do the kata.
I wanted to try again the other week, so I decided to re-do the kata but this time in Typescript stack. It managed to complete the whole thing, but it did took me longer than 90 minutes. Here is the final product after a single afternoon of coding

}Having the chance to redo this kata again allows me to discover some interesting new features of Typescript. Looking at some of what I wrote a few weeks ago, I no longer remember some of the syntaxes and why I had written things in a certain way. The names of some of the helper names make no sense :P. I guess I will revisit this kata again some other time.
Working with Mocha for doing the unit tests was not bad. Next time, I would prefer to use Jest.
