Crash Course into TypeScript for content from headless CMS

Please sign in to watch this workshop.

In this workshop, I’ll first show you how to create a new project in a headless CMS, fill it with data, and use the content in your project. Then, we’ll spend the rest of time in code, we will:

- Generate strongly typed models and structure for the fetched content.

- Use the content in components

- Resolve content from rich text fields into React components

- Touch on deployment pipelines and possibilities for discovering content-related issues before hitting production

You will learn:

- How to work with content from headless CMS

- How content model can be leveraged to generate TS types and what benefits it brings to your project

- How not to use string literals for content in code anymore

- How to do rich text resolution into React components

- How to minimize or avoid content-related issues before hitting production

This workshop has been presented at React Summit 2022, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

FAQ

TypeScript is a programming language that builds on JavaScript by adding static type definitions. In this workshop, TypeScript is used to show participants how to work with content in TypeScript and React components, particularly focusing on how to integrate and manipulate content from a Headless CMS in a TypeScript-based project.

Participants can clone the project repository to their local machine, install dependencies, and follow the steps demonstrated by the facilitator. The workshop also includes live coding sessions, and participants are encouraged to code along and ask questions in real-time.

A Headless CMS is a content management system that provides a way to author content, but instead of having a built-in front-end, it provides content via an API. In this workshop, a Headless CMS is used to manage and import content into a new project, demonstrating how developers can leverage such systems for more flexibility and control over their content delivery.

The workshop covers several tools and frameworks, including Next.js, TypeScript, React components, and the Headless CMS used for content management. It focuses on using these technologies to build dynamic web applications efficiently.

The workshop is recorded, allowing participants to revisit any part of the session later. Additionally, the pace is kept slow to accommodate all participants, and direct assistance is available during the workshop to address any issues or questions that arise.

Participants will import content into a new project, create and manipulate a project in the CMS, and work extensively with code, particularly focusing on Next.js and TypeScript. They will also generate TypeScript models from content types and learn how to fetch and resolve content in Next.js.

ReactJS is wildly popular and thus wildly supported. TypeScript is increasingly popular, and thus increasingly supported.

The two together? Not as much. Given that they both change quickly, it's hard to find accurate learning materials.

React+TypeScript, with JetBrains IDEs? That three-part combination is the topic of this series. We'll show a little about a lot. Meaning, the key steps to getting productive, in the IDE, for React projects using TypeScript. Along the way we'll show test-driven development and emphasize tips-and-tricks in the IDE.

TypeScript is not just types and interfaces. Join this workshop to master more advanced features of TypeScript that will make your code bullet-proof. We will cover conditional types and infer notation, template strings and how to map over union types and object/array properties. Each topic will be demonstrated on a sample application that was written with basic types or no types at all and we will together improve the code so you get more familiar with each feature and can bring this new knowledge directly into your projects.
You will learn:- - What are conditional types and infer notation- What are template strings- How to map over union types and object/array properties.

TypeScript has a powerful type system with all sorts of fancy features for representing wild and wacky JavaScript states. But the syntax to do so isn't always straightforward, and the error messages aren't always precise in telling you what's wrong. Let's dive into how many of TypeScript's more powerful features really work, what kinds of real-world problems they solve, and how to wrestle the type system into submission so you can write truly excellent TypeScript code.

Maurice de Beijer

Are you a React developer trying to get the most benefits from TypeScript? Then this is the workshop for you.In this interactive workshop, we will start at the basics and examine the pros and cons of different ways you can declare React components using TypeScript. After that we will move to more advanced concepts where we will go beyond the strict setting of TypeScript. You will learn when to use types like any, unknown and never. We will explore the use of type predicates, guards and exhaustive checking. You will learn about the built-in mapped types as well as how to create your own new type map utilities. And we will start programming in the TypeScript type system using conditional types and type inferring.

React and TypeScript have a strong relationship, with TypeScript offering benefits like better type checking and contract enforcement. Failing early and failing hard is important in software development to catch errors and debug effectively. TypeScript provides early detection of errors and ensures data accuracy in components and hooks. It offers superior type safety but can become complex as the codebase grows. Using union types in props can resolve errors and address dependencies. Dynamic communication and type contracts can be achieved through generics. Understanding React's built-in types and hooks like useState and useRef is crucial for leveraging their functionality.

Nuxt is a progressive framework built on Vue.js, aiming to reduce friction and distraction for developers. It leverages TypeScript for inference and aims to be the source of truth for projects. Nuxt provides type safety and extensibility through integration with TypeScript. Migrating to TypeScript offers long-term maintenance benefits and can uncover hidden bugs. Nuxt focuses on improving existing tools and finds inspiration in frameworks like TRPC.

Designing APIs is a challenge, and it's important to consider the language used and different versions of the API. API ergonomics focus on ease of use and trade-offs. Routing is a misunderstood aspect of API design, and file-based routing can simplify it. Unplugging View Router provides typed routes and eliminates the need to pass routes when creating the router. Data loading and handling can be improved with data loaders and predictable routes. Handling protected routes and index and ID files are also discussed.

Today we will discuss React server components with AI and how to build a better search experience using them. We will learn how to make a Next.js app AI-enabled using the Vercel AI SDK. The Vercel AI SDK's streamUI function with the GPT 4.0 model will be used to make suggestions interactive. We will explore the use of history and conversation in AI and how to continue the conversation and read the result. The concept of generative UI with the vector database will be introduced, along with querying the database for movies. We will process user queries and return movies based on them. The power of React server components in enhancing UI will be demonstrated. In summary, the Talk covers vector embeddings, natural language search, and generative UI.
