How do I integrate react and typescript

There's some documentation on TypeScript's website: typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/react-&-webp…

Typescript supports the basic react libraries.

Tricky are 3rd party libraries

this is a project where you find a lot of type / interface definitions

github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped

but you should be aware that it's tricky if you're either not used to react or to typescript, the learning curve is steep :).

it's nice for bigger projects. Currently I'm working with typescript and flow for typing for different customers and different teams. atm I prefer Typescript over flow-type.

But if you partially integrate types on an existing codebase Flow-types is more flexible

Euri Alexander Ayala hmm I didn't know about implicit any, thank you.

The one company I work for, they explicitly forbid non typed libraries I have to write the definitions and port the needed functionality.

No problem! Implicity any fefinitely makes TS much more usable in comparison to Flow, and with the significantly larger community and better tooling, TS is a no brainer against Flow.

Euri Alexander Ayala yes I prefer TSC over Flow if that's the case, the union types in flow just bug me and the flow server in the background spawning 5 threads bricks the dev machines of some of my colleagues :).

I will try to introduce tsc after this sprint :)
