DefinitelyTyped VS type-challenges

Prior to React 18, it used to include an implicit children prop, making it suitable for components expected to have children. For a long time, though, the implicit children prop type has been removed according to React 18's type changes.

Additionally, because TypeScript has a well established and widely used install-base, there are already many different definition files in the wild for supporting non-TypeScript supporting projects. One of the more extensive collections of these typings lives at the DefinitelyTyped repository, which publishes the package's community typings under the package names @types/your-package-name (where your-package-name is the name of the project you're looking for typings of) that you can look for on your package manager.

Their type definition for HAR request isn't exported https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/mast...

type NumberOrString = number | string; type Status = "idle" | "loading" | "success" | "failure" // React useState, can receive a value or a function as parameter to serve as initial value. // https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/a03856975a17eba524739676affbf70ac4078176/types/react/v17/index.d.ts#L920 function useState(initialState: S | (() => S)): [S, Dispatch>];

The TypeScript pull request was merged, so Sebastian (who helps maintain the React type definitions) exercised new powers in this pull request to the DefinitelyTyped repository for the React type definitions. At the time of writing, this pull request is still open, but once merged and shipped the React community we will feel its benefits.

there is an open issue: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/issues/61616

Relatively infrequently. Normally, if an npm package is popular and doesn’t have its own types, there will be a community provided types declaration file available from https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped

For those who want to improve their type level skills, I highly recommend this repository for learning by doing: https://github.com/type-challenges/type-challenges.

I'm very like typescript and I always try to learn something interesting there. I thought that it is impossible to know the length of the string in typescript, but I was wrong. Today during solving typescript challenge I found a way to do it. If you don't know about typescript challenges, you can read about it here, it is a very interesting project, and I highly recommend you to try it, if you, like me, obsessed with typescript.

For those wonder why you don’t need a CS degree, I invite you to solve the type problems here https://github.com/type-challenges/type-challenges. No degree needed and if you can solve those problems with ease (as really understand the problems), you can work on any problems in any business.

It's not really a major usage but I think it would be cool to see if a coding model could be fine-tuned to take in a prompt of instructions and output a valid Typescript type solution (like in https://github.com/type-challenges/type-challenges)
