TypeScript Patterns for React

Essential TypeScript patterns that will make your React codebase more maintainable and type-safe.

TypeScript and React work beautifully together when you follow consistent patterns.

#Generic Components

type ListProps<T> = {
  items: T[]
  renderItem: (item: T) => React.ReactNode
}
 
function List<T>({ items, renderItem }: ListProps<T>) {

}
