How to use TypeScript with React
TypeScript with React: A Comprehensive Guide
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing to the language. This means that TypeScript can catch type errors at compile time, which can help to prevent bugs in your code. React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces (UIs). It is a popular choice for developing web applications, and it is also becoming increasingly popular for building mobile applications.
To use TypeScript with React, you will need to do the following:
1. Install TypeScript:
You can install TypeScript using npm or yarn.
npm install --save-dev typescript
yarn add --dev typescript
2. Configure TypeScript:
You will need to create a tsconfig.json file to configure TypeScript. This file will specify the compiler options that you want to use.
