Using React and TypeScript for Scalable Frontends

TypeScript brings type safety and better developer experience to React development.

Benefits

• Type Safety: Catch errors at compile time
• Better IDE Support: Autocomplete and refactoring tools
• Self-Documenting Code: Types serve as documentation
• Easier Refactoring: Confidence when making changes

Example

interface UserProps {
  name: string
  email: string
  age?: number
}

const UserCard: React.FC<UserProps> = ({ name, email, age }) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>{name}</h2>
      <p>{email}</p>
      {age && <p>Age: {age}</p>}
    </div>
  )
}

TypeScript has become essential for building maintainable, scalable React applications.
