To integrate TypeScript in a React.js project, start by adding TypeScript to your project dependencies. Then, do the steps below:
- Update your build configuration to compile TypeScript files.
- Convert your `.js` files to `.tsx` and begin adding types to your components and state.
- Leverage TypeScript’s strong typing to define props and state structures, enhancing code readability and reducing bugs.
- Utilize the TypeScript compiler for type-checking during development.
Initially, you may set TypeScript to a less strict mode and gradually enforce stricter rules as you refactor your code.
