1

What is the main advantage of using TypeScript in a React Native project?

Respuesta

TypeScript detects type errors at compile time, before the application even runs. This significantly reduces production bugs related to incorrect types, improves IDE autocompletion and makes code more self-documenting. In a React Native project, this particularly helps with correctly typing props, state and API responses.

2

What is the difference between type and interface in TypeScript?

Respuesta

Interfaces can be extended and merged through declaration merging, which is useful for extending third-party library types. Types are more flexible and can represent unions, intersections and primitive types. In practice, for simple objects both are interchangeable, but interfaces are preferred for React component props as they allow extension.

3

How to correctly type the props of a React Native functional component?

Respuesta

The recommended method is to define an interface for props and use it as a generic type or parameter annotation. You can either use React.FC with the generic, or directly type the props in the function signature. The second approach is often preferred because React.FC implicitly includes children, which may not be desired.
