React Day Berlin

React Day Berlin 2023

Today's Talk focuses on React's best types and JSX. It covers the types of JSX and React components, including React.fc and React.reactnode. The discussion also explores JSX intrinsic elements and react.component props, highlighting their differences and use cases. The Talk concludes with insights on using React.componentType and passing components, as well as utilizing the react.element ref type for external libraries like React-Select.

We don't think of React as shipping its own types. But React's types are a core part of the framework - overseen by the React team, and co-ordinated with React's major releases.In this live coding talk, we'll look at all the types you've been missing out on. How do you get the props type from a component? How do you know what ref a component takes? Should you use React.FC? And what's the deal with JSX.Element?You'll walk away with a bunch of exciting ideas to take to your React applications, and hopefully a new appreciation for the wonders of React and TypeScript working together.
