Learn React with TypeScript

Learn React with TypeScript

By: Carl Rippon

Overview of this book

Reading, navigating, and debugging a large frontend codebase can feel overwhelming for web developers, but you can overcome this with expert guidance from a seasoned software professional with over 20 years’ experience in developing a complex line of business applications. This book will help you learn React, TypeScript, and Next.js—the core technology stack behind scalable, high-performance web applications used by top companies. This third edition of Learn React with TypeScript is updated with the latest features of React 19, including server components, server actions, and powerful new hooks. The chapters show you how to use TypeScript’s advanced features for enhanced code reliability and maintainability when building robust, type-safe components. You’ll explore efficient data fetching strategies with RSCs in Next.js, as well as in single-page applications (SPAs). The book also covers modern state management with Zustand, best practices for form handling, and strategies for building well-structured, reusable components that streamline development. Finally, you’ll focus on unit testing with Vitest, ensuring your React components are resilient and error-free. By the end of this book, you'll have at your disposal the skills and best practices needed to create maintainable and performant React applications with TypeScript and Next.js.

Allowing the internal state to be controlled

In this section, we’ll learn how to allow consumers of a component to control its internal state. We will use this pattern in the checklist component so that users can check just a single item.

Understanding how the internal state can be controlled

Allowing consumers of a component to control the state allows the behavior of a component to be tweaked if that behavior is driven by the state. Let’s go through an example using the useToggle custom hook we covered in the last section when learning about custom hooks:

  1. Two additional props are required to allow the internal state to be controlled – one for the current state value and one for a change handler. These additional props are toggleValue and onToggleValueChange in useToggle:
    type Params = {
      defaultToggleValue?: boolean;
      toggleValue?: boolean;
      onToggleValueChange?: (
        toggleValue: Boolean
