Egghead - Refactor a React Application to TypeScript

DOWNLOAD SETUP

Types play nicely when working with components, and lead to a super smooth developer experience.

But what if your application is already being shipped and continuously deployed? It doesn't mean you can't take advantage of everything TypeScript has to offer.

Refactoring an application to TypeScript doesn't have to be daunting. Follow Chance's lead, and you'll be well on your way!

The course starts with an overview of some of Chance's favorite tools and their TypeScript-specific settings. These tools will help you search your project's TypeScript paths for auto-importing, a shorthand tool for writing JSX and TypeScript to speed up your writing, and a tool for helping you to maintain your code to a high quality.

The tools are Emmet, ESLint, Prettier, and a variety of VSCode extensions. There's even some rollup and Babel thrown in for transpiling and compiling our TypeScript to make configuration and build setup a breeze.

Gain these Skills
Chance will give you the knowledge of how to incorporate TypeScript into any React application, whether it's shipped and continuously deployed or not. You'll take the practices and tools that you learn here to be much more productive in your TypeScript, wherever you use it. Lastly, He will give you the knowledge of when you see React Types vs your own custom types.

Prerequisites
This is not an introduction to React or TypeScript course. You will need to have a basic understanding of the two to be able to follow along. If you don't have that basic understanding, or just want a refresher on the subjects, The Beginner's Guide to React and Up and Running with TypeScript are the best two places to start.
