All Things Typescript Newsletter - Issue #15 - A Community for All Things Typescript

Good morning; I hope you had a fantastic weekend. I attended a Google IO Extended event this weekend at Eldoret, Kenya, where I gave a talk on the state of Angular and enjoyed meeting and interacting with fellow developers.

In this issue, I wanted to cover Classed in Typescript, unfortunately, as I spent most of the weekend traveling, I was unable to find enough time to wrap up the topic, so I will push it to next week, where I will cover two topics instead of one.

Last week I announced that I was creating a community for All Things Typescript, and I am happy to announce I have created a community where we can learn from each other. For more information, check the announcement section below.

As always, we have a curated list of articles and tweets that I hope you will find enlightening and helpful in your journey to learn and understand typescript.

I hope you have a fantastic week ahead and happy learning.

How to Write Less Code for More Money

What now, what next? You have your first coding job(s) behind you, collected a bit of experience doing the same thing at a different company, or a different thing at the same. You have made those first few wage jumps, won some and lost some, and grown with your challenges, as they say.

How to Create and Publish React TypeScript npm Package With Demo and Automated Build

Why did I decide to write one more article about publishing npm packages? When I needed to create such a package by myself, I found that most of the instructions on the internet were either outdated or very short and useless in production.

Write Better Commits, Build Better Projects

How often have you found yourself thinking: What’s the point of this code? Isn’t this option deprecated? Is this comment out-of-date? I don’t think it describes what I’m seeing.

Typescript Tip 💡 Before using the string type annotation for a variable, you need to ask yourself whether all strings are assignable to variables. A string is quite broad, as it could be one letter or all text inside the encyclopedia. #typescript #javascript #webdev

📢 A PSA from @JoshuaKGoldberg 📢 Do NOT use #ESLint for formatting! That is not what it is built for. None of the maintenance teams of linters want you to use ESLint for formatting. (✂ from jsparty.fm/230) #typescript #javascript

🔥 Working in a monorepo with long package names? Give them an alias in the root package.json. This lets you run `yarn a dev`, or `yarn s test --watch`.
