Working with React and Typescript Together

Getting started

---

• Creating a react application with stypescript support using the create react app CLI
• Comparing project output

we create by typing:

npx create-react-app appname --template typescript

Which creates the app configured with Ts

The ts config file contains the configuration of how ts can be used in the project

react Ts CLI options:

• create-next-app
• create-snowpack-app
• gatsby

To add Typscript to existing app, you need to install and configure it within the app :

yarn add typescript @types/react @types/react-dom @types/node

after sintallation you can update the

.js files to have .ts extention eg. App.js => App.ts

after that :

yarn start

Or npm whichever you prefer
