Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Enforcing Localization through Types
Typescript doesn’t natively provide an Opaque type that we can use to define a string that has already been localized. If the data looks like a string, Typescript will consider it a string. We can however use utility types that simulate opaque types, like the Opaque definition in type-fest:

Boost Your JavaScript with JSDoc Typing
With these powerful features, you can create dynamic and expressive types. One last thing I want to mention before moving on, is that you can install libraries with which you can add more types to your project like type-fest or utility-types. These libraries contain a lot of useful types that you can use in your project.

Essential Code Organization Principles
Also, it’s not as restrictive as mutability tools — if you know what you are doing and want to ignore this limitation for a particular case, you can apply the -readonly modifier or the Writeable type from type-fest or ts-essentials.

All JavaScript and TypeScript features of the last 3 years explained
Some folks have built whole SQL databases and DSL compilers in the TS type system. These tend to be toy projects with disclaimers not to use them. But the type system being Turing complete[0] (for better or worse), pretty much whatever you can imagine. This project[1] is one I actually return to frequently for practical ideas.

Question on how to handle an object that can have different states and avoid assertions.
Have a look at SetRequired and SetOptional in type-fest

Preventing more parameters being passed than needed by a type definition?
Try the Exact method provided by Type Fest, looks like it does what you're looking for
-
Creating a derived type of only required parameters from a base type?
This is a fairly common scenario and available via libraries like type-fest or implementable with a couple lines of code.

TDD
Qué rico. Si tenés chance meté un proceso de code review fuerte, y para el tema de I/O probá a usar https://github.com/Effect-TS/schema ó https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts que les da una solución obvia al tema de "tipos para lo que devuelva el backend", aunque es en realidad mucho más capaz que eso.

Domain modelling with State Machines and TypeScript by Carlton Upperdine
My fave is still io-ts (https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/docs/index.md) as I find it more flexible than zod at the ingress. The author is also working on the Effect ecosystem which also looks interesting.

Why I Like Using Maps (and WeakMaps) for Handling DOM Nodes
I’ve been using io-ts for this and been very happy with it. [1] It’s similar to Swift’s Coding protocol in case you’re familiar.

Can someone recommend a library for data parsing similar to Zod, but with better support for input transformations/preprocessing?
Yeah, there are a few new concepts and it's not the easiest to pick up right away. The best introduction is here on the main documentation page.
- libraries you are happy that you discovered them
- Is React for small projects an Overkill?
-
how to strictly type this?
We use https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md which has a very similar interface. It can even be used to mutate the data using https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md#the-parse-combinator.

Typescript advanced bits: function overloading, never and unknown types
A good way to significantly improve the reliability of your app is via improving type-safety by moving away from using any to unknown. One relevant example could be when you type your backend responses and when stringifying JSON to using unknown combined with some sort of runtime type checking. It can be done either by using built-in functionality like type guards or using an external library like io-ts, zod or yup.

I found 10,000x faster TypeScript validator library
Usage of TypeBox is similar with io-ts and zod, but it is much powerful and faster than them. Also, TypeBox can generate JSON schema very easily. Therefore, if you're looking for a validator library for new project and not suffering from legacy codes, I think TypeBox would be much better choice than io-ts and zod. TypeBox can totally replace them.

Validate your data with Zod
This check can be done with different libraries like: io-ts, typebox, or zod. These libraries allow you to create objects that represent your typescript definitions. Then, these objects can be used at runtime to validate the received data, in addition, you can also convert this object to a Typescript definition to have all the benefits of using typescript. These objects can be called schema validations because they are responsible for the data validation.
What are some alternatives?
ts-toolbelt - 👷 TypeScript's largest type utility library
zod - TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
runtypes - Runtime validation for static types
class-validator - Decorator-based property validation for classes.
