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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned that all React Hooks must be called at the top level of a function component and can’t be called conditionally.

The useEffect Hook can be used to execute component side effects when it is rendered. We learned how to use useEffect to fetch data, which is a common use case.

useReducer is an alternative to useState for using state, and we experienced using both approaches in our PersonScore example component. useState is excellent for primitive state values. useReducer is great for complex object state values, particularly when state changes depend on previous state values.

The ref Hook creates a mutable value and doesn’t cause a re-render when changed. We used useRef to set focus to an HTML element after it was rendered, which is a common use case.

The useMemo and useCallback Hooks can be used to memoize values and functions, respectively, and can be used for performance optimization. The examples we used for these Hooks were...
