Understanding TypeScript in React

TypeScript brings type safety to React development, helping catch errors early and improving developer experience.

Why TypeScript?

TypeScript offers several benefits:

• Type safety - Catch errors at compile time
• Better IDE support - Autocomplete and refactoring tools
• Self-documenting code - Types serve as documentation
• Easier refactoring - Confident code changes

Basic Types

Here's how you define types for React components:

interface Props {
  title: string;
  count: number;
  isActive?: boolean;
}

export function Component({ title, count, isActive }: Props) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{title}</h1>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
    </div>
  );
}
