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.

Getting Started with TypeScript

In this chapter, we will start by understanding what TypeScript is and how it provides a much richer type system on top of JavaScript. We will learn about the basic types in TypeScript, such as numbers and strings, and then how to create our own types to represent objects and arrays using different TypeScript features. We will understand the TypeScript compiler and its key options in a React app. Finally, we will revise the alert component we built in the last chapter to use TypeScript.

In this chapter, we’ll cover the following topics:

  • Understanding the benefits of TypeScript
  • Understanding JavaScript types
  • Using basic TypeScript types
  • Creating TypeScript types
  • Using the TypeScript compiler
  • Creating a React and TypeScript component

By the end of this chapter, you’ll be able to create simple type-safe React components.
