react

A reference aimed at experienced React developers moving into TypeScript, with opinionated best practices and copy pasteable examples, maintained by two named maintainers. MIT license.

The repository describes itself as cheatsheets for experienced React developers getting started with TypeScript. The README is maintained by two named maintainers, and it invites issue reports for anything wrong or missing. The maintainers open with a note that they are happy people want to try React with TypeScript, which sets a friendlier tone than most references. The project is MIT licensed, lists TypeScript as its language, and points to a Netlify hosted homepage.

The content is opinionated on purpose. The README says it holds opinionated best practices and copy and pasteable examples, covering basic TypeScript types and setup along with advanced usage of generic types for people writing reusable type utilities and React plus TypeScript libraries. It also includes advice for contributing to DefinitelyTyped. The scope is deliberately wide, aimed at both beginners and library authors.

The prerequisites section assumes basic understanding of React and TypeScript and lists what you are expected to know. From there it documents starting new projects with TypeScript across frameworks, including Next.js, Remix, Gatsby, and Expo, with command examples. Vite is called the most common choice for a client side single page app without a framework. The getting started section notes that components can be written as normal functions that take a props argument and return a JSX element, and it mentions online tools for running React and TypeScript as helpful for debugging or making sharable reproductions.

The cheatsheet works as a middle path: it assumes you already know React, it is honest about being opinionated, and it keeps the examples short enough to copy. The two maintainers clearly expect the collection to grow as issues come in.
