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.

Unleashing the Power of Duck-Typing in React: Crafting a Generic Application
Watch video: Unleashing the Power of Duck-Typing in React: Crafting a Generic Application
Hey, React Summit! Today I want to share my thoughts on creating a generic React application using TypeScript. I'll discuss the Type Build concept, generic application routing, and provide an example. What is the type build? It is a test that uses the characteristics or properties of an object to determine its type. Duck typing brings flexibility and simplicity, allowing for loose coupling and shorter code. Type guards are used to implement duck typing in TypeScript, enabling custom logic to determine the type of an object. This approach ensures type safety and better error checking. We use a switcher component to render components based on the CMP variable type. When working with React, create components as you would for any application. Use routers for dynamic routes with IDs to handle different pages. The outlet receives the valid page ID from the parents and uses a map to render components based on type. The object result can be seen in the next slide. Create a menu in your application with valid pages. This is an extensible approach for handling complex forms. Find the sample app on my GitHub.

Untangling Your Dependencies: A Pattern for a Well-Knit React Project
Thank you for joining my session on untangling your dependencies. I encountered errors when trying to update dependencies in the project, leading to a tangled mess of issues. Managing dependencies can be like working with a ball of yarn, trying to knit a project. I'll share my favorite practices for managing dependencies and provide some background about myself. Leonardo da Vinci said, 'art is never finished, only abandoned,' and this applies to software as well. I'll share tricks and tips for managing complex dependency management systems and understanding different types of dependencies. Working with dependencies often comes with challenges, especially when using React Native. Examples of tools that assist with managing dependencies include yarn upgrade interactive, NPM check updates, and React Native upgrade helper. When encountering issues, breaking them down into smaller chunks helps find solutions. To tackle dependency issues, focus on one platform at a time and choose the right tools. Tools like NPM why and Clip can help identify unnecessary dependencies and unused files. Monorepos and tools like Yarn workspaces and npm shrinkwrap are useful for managing monorepos. Bleeding edge branches and dependency updates allow for incremental and broken commits. Regular updates are recommended to stay aligned with platform changes.

Infer multiple things at once with reverse mapped types
Top Content
Mateusz Kruzynski introduces reverse map types and demonstrates their use in transforming object types. He discusses how reverse map types can be used for inference and to provide contextual types for parameter types. He also shows how reverse map types can be used to extend an entity and bind event listeners. In the context of state machines, he explains how reverse map types can be utilized to strongly type the initial property and create hierarchical state machines. However, there are limitations to be aware of, such as inferring a single thing per object property or tuple element.

Exploring the TypeScript-first architecture of modern frameworks
Hi, everyone. Today, I'll be showing you some of the features that modern frameworks implement or frameworks that leverage Typescript implement to improve the developer and user experience. I'll cover some of the features that Expo with Expo Router and Next.js with the AppRouter implements. Let's talk about setting up TypeScript in both Expo and Next.js. Both frameworks provide a TypeScript-first development experience. The most important feature is type safe routing, which enhances developer productivity and app stability. Frameworks provide a built-in link component for link generation. It reduces the risk of typos and throws type errors when linking to non-existent routes. In Expo, enable the .typed experiment and import the link component from the exporouter package. Expo supports static and dynamic routes, and throws errors for incorrect parameters. ExpoRouter provides hooks like UseSegments and UseRouter for more control. In Next.js, enable typedRoutes in the next config file. We can import the link component from the next link package and restart the dev server after updating the next config file. Next.js automatically generates route definitions and includes the type file in the TS config. Autocompletion is available for the href attribute, which can be a string or dynamic value. Next.js provides hooks like use router for static navigation and router.push to prevent redirection to broken routes. Catch all routes in type safe routing pose a challenge for enforcing type safety on the href attribute. TypeScript may not throw an error for routes that may be broken or lead to unwanted pages. Keep this in mind when working with catch all routes. Before a production build, route types should be in place to ensure accurate type definitions. Generating routes is an ongoing task that needs to happen at the right moment to avoid build-time errors. When implemented correctly, type-safe routes can elevate the developer experience by preventing broken links or dysfunctional routes. In Next.js, server components and client components have different limitations. Next.js provides automatic error checking for importing useState in server components and enforces the useClientDirective to prevent using client-related code in the wrong places. Next.js also ensures type safety by throwing errors for invalid segment config options and requiring the alt attribute for image components to improve accessibility. Config files in Expo and Next.js have different approaches to incorporating TypeScript, with Expo using the TS node require hook and Next.js supporting type checking through jsdoc in the config JS file. By enabling type-safe routing, we catch potential issues at compile time, ensuring robust routes and unbroken links. Many other frameworks and tools leverage TypeScript to empower developers and deliver error-free experiences to users.
