Silicon Valley Code Camp : October 13 & 14, 2018session
Productive React/TypeScript/TDD: Love Story from Hell
React, TypeScript, TDD: Individually popular, sparse in combination. In this session we write a React application in TypeScript, using TDD, putting the power of the IDE to work.
About This Session
React is the most popular frontend framework and TypeScript is one of the hottest languages. The combination? Common, but barely. With test-driven development? Thin ice.
In this hands-on session we write a simple React counter application in TypeScript. But with a different approach: instead of constantly reloading a browser, we write tests in Jest and only visit the browser as a final step. We also see how to put the WebStorm IDE to work to get the productivity benefits promised by TypeScript.
