• tools

  45 24,334 0.0 Rust

  Discontinued Unified developer tools for JavaScript, TypeScript, and the web

  

Maybe it was Rome?

  Reusable type branding in TypeScript

For this reason I've actually started to enjoy the idea of branded types. Instead of passing around entity IDs as numbers you can have the compiler ensure that you get a specific kind of number, or at least have to explicitly cast to get around this limitation.

  React Hooks — 👍

I have been reading the codebase of "react-use", to learn about custom hooks. It is written in TypeScript. As an example, I find the value of creating complex annotations for simple stuff like this questionable: https://github.com/streamich/react-use/blob/master/src/useMap.ts

• DefinitelyTyped

  158 47,199 10.0 TypeScript

  The repository for high quality TypeScript type definitions.

  

I think this aligns with what I'm saying. In the case of types being distracting, I remember a project where I needed to have an HoC with themed props from styled components and it was like impossible to get the typings right. Issue was never resolved afaik: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/issues/32048
