Learn React with TypeScript 3: Beginner's guide to modern React web development with TypeScript 3
Start developing modern day component based web apps using React 16, Redux and TypeScript 3 with this easy to follow guide filled with practical examples.
Key FeaturesLearn the latest and core features of React such as components, React Router, and suspenseDive into TypeScript 3 and it`s core components such as interfaces, types aliases, tuples, generics and much more.Build small-to-large scale single page applications with React, Redux, GraphQL and TypeScriptBook DescriptionReact today is one of the most preferred choices for frontend development. Using React with TypeScript enhances development experience and offers a powerful combination to develop high performing web apps. In this book, you’ll learn how to create well structured and reusable react components that are easy to read and maintain by leveraging modern web development techniques.
We will start with learning core TypeScript programming concepts before moving on to building reusable React components. You'll learn how to ensure all your components are type-safe by leveraging TypeScript's capabilities, including the latest on Project references, Tuples in rest parameters, and much more. You'll then be introduced to core features of React such as React Router, managing state with Redux and applying logic in lifecycle methods. Further on, you'll discover the latest features of React such as hooks and suspense which will enable you to create powerful function-based components. You'll get to grips with GraphQL web API using Apollo client to make your app more interactive. Finally, you'll learn how to write robust unit tests for React components using Jest.
By the end of the book, you'll be well versed with all you need to develop fully featured web apps with React and TypeScript.
What you will learnGain a first-hand experience of TypeScript and its productivity features Transpile your TypeScript code into JavaScript for it to run in a browser Learn relevant advanced types in TypeScript for creating strongly typed and reusable components.Create stateful function-based components that handle lifecycle events using hooks Get to know what GraphQL is and how to work with it by executing basic queries to get familiar with the syntaxBecome confident in getting good unit testing coverage on your components using JestWho this book is forThe ideal target audience for this book are web developers who want to get started with creating modern day web apps with React and TypeScript.You are expected to have a basic understanding of JavaScript and HTML programming. No prior knowledge of TypeScript and React is needed.

A rare gem among books published by Packt.
Examples are clear and practical. New concepts are introduced gradually and in understandable ways, with a focus on the practical applications of new components.
Some of the underlying libraries have changed their APIs since publication, but not significantly enough that a quick Google search doesn't put it right.
I would recommend for any programmer that has some JavaScript knowledge, but it new to modern web development (obviously including TypeScript and React).

This is the best book I have read regarding TypeScript, and I have read most of the recent releases covering TypeScript 4.

Really a pleasant surprise in packt book. It is well done and takes you through several example projects. My only request is that it had more exercises, there were some after one section but not others. But all in, well done.
