⚛️ How to use TypeScript type predicates in React to create a more robust, type-safe, and maintainable component. (this pattern is particularly useful when dealing with discriminated unions or when you need to narrow types based on runtime checks)

I've been working professionally with React for more than 8 years and I compiled all my knowledge into 100+ infographics and 70+ video tutorials just like this one. Check them out ↓

We don’t need this since TS 5.5 right?

Thank you for the check, it's going to be useful.

Strange, I've just tested it in TS playground and stackblitz React playground and it narrows the type correctly (with the latest TS version). Maybe it is a problem of some older TS version or less strict TS complier config?

This is automatically narrowed with the latest TS version now 👌🏻

I wrote a 2D game, entirely in type-level Typescript. Yes, you read that right. This is flappy bird, written only in Typescript types. How did I do it? It involves a lot of type magic, and a new type-level Typescript runtime I made in Rust + Zig. Let me walk you through it:

Do you know about ReturnType in TypeScript? What about Awaited or Parameters? Utility types can unlock a lot of power to keep your code type safe, even when your npm packages aren't perfect More magic you can do with utility types in my latest article:

GraphQL to TypeScript type, no code gen. Written purely in TypeScript type. With Prisma-like query syntax fully type-safe. Should cover almost all of the GraphQL specs, now. Here's a demo.

Cline now uses Anthropic's new "Computer Use" feature to launch a browser, click, type, and scroll. This gives him more autonomy in runtime debugging, end-to-end testing, and even general web use!

He doesn't even believe in MBTIs, he believes in blood types! 👤: Which blood type do you think is the best? 🐥: Either type O or type A 🧸: Do you know why? Because he's type O, so he thinks type O is the best! 👤: Try guessing Yijin's blood type! 🐥: I asked because i think he's either type O or type A! 🧸🍼: *busy playing on their own* 🐥: *still trying to guess Yijin's blood type*

I think I figured out how to create responsive type scales with composable CSS utilities, thet lets you scale linearly between exact pixel values (this is important if you want to align exactly with a type scale, rather than just scale type on a case-by-case basis) 🧵
