This project aims to accumulate TypeScript advice for React Native users, in the same nature as https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react-typescript-cheatsheet/. It serves as a community maintained supplement to the official RN + TS docs.
This is a new project and we are actively seeking maintainers.
The best way to start is with Expo:
npm install -g expo-cli
# or
yarn global add expo-cli
expo init AwesomeProject
# you can pick from the typescript templates in the Managed or Bare workflows.
# If in doubt, use Managed
This should install the correct TypeScript dev dependencies to get you started:
"devDependencies": {
"@types/react": "~16.9.0",
"@types/react-native": "~0.60.23",
"@babel/core": "^7.0.0",
"babel-preset-expo": "~8.0.0",
"typescript": "~3.6.3"
},
This translates the RN docs into TypeScript:

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Text, View } from "react-native";
class Greeting extends Component<{ name: string }> {
render() {
return (
<View style={{ alignItems: "center" }}>
<Text>Hello {this.props.name}!</Text>
</View>
);
}
}
// // Function Component version
// function Greeting(props: {name: string}) {
// return (
// <View style={{ alignItems: 'center' }}>
// <Text>Hello {props.name}!</Text>
// </View>
// );
// }
export default class LotsOfGreetings extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={{ alignItems: "center", top: 50 }}>
<Greeting name="Rexxar" />
<Greeting name="Jaina" />
<Greeting name="Valeera" />

);
}

1000
);
}
//state object
state = { isShowingText: true };
render() {
if (!this.state.isShowingText) {
return null;
}
return <Text>{this.props.text}</Text>;
}
}
// // hooks equivalent
// function Blink(props: BlinkProps) {
// const [isShowingText, setIsShowingText] = React.useState(true) // state's type is inferred to be boolean
// // with other types it is helpful to explicitly specify the state's type
// // const [isShowingText, setIsShowingText] = React.useState<BlinkState>({ isShowingText: true})
// React.useEffect(() => {
// let interval = setInterval(() => (
// setIsShowingText(previousState => !previousState)
// ), 1000);
// return () => clearInterval(interval) // class component forgot to cleanup the interval
// })
// if (isShowingText) return null
// return (
// <Text>{props.text}</Text>
// );
// }

The goal is to open source knowledge:
- Write what you wish you had known
- What you will want to refer to in future
- Identify what you don't know and actively ask for community to fill in the gaps
- Be corrected on your misconceptions
