How does TypeScript work with react?

Let's have a look at how React and TypeScript operate together before we get started. TypeScript is a "typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript," while React is a "JavaScript library for designing user interfaces." We effectively use a typed version of JavaScript to develop our UIs by combining them.

You could combine them to achieve the benefits of a statically typed language (TypeScript) for your user interface. This translates to increased security and fewer bugs reaching the front end. In this article, we will see how you can use Typescript with react.

Because TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, every JavaScript feature can be found in TypeScript. TypeScript, on the other hand, takes JavaScript a stride even more by integrating a powerful type system that allows for code restructuring, navigation, type-checking, and more.

For React developers from all over the world, this powerful statically typed language is a dream come true. In actuality, many React devs who use TypeScript declare they can't imagine doing their work without it.

TypeScript provides the ability to customise a compiler. You can specify how tight TypeScript should be, favour error types, describe the target ECMAScript version, allow the source map, and so on.

Each of these configurations is done in the project's root directory's tsconfig.json file. TypeScript will utilise the default configurations if a blank object is passed.
