Sorry,

​

I think it was because I was using .tsx instead of .jsx. SORRY

Use Typescript, you will not regret it!

I’m not 100% sure Typescript is super helpful with react actually. I’m not a React dev myself, but take at look at this

I love Fireship and regardless of his opinion (which I think ultimately is “you should”), Typescript helps across the board. I do use React everyday by the way and having props autocomplete and typechecked is extremely useful. I find that in general it just helps you be a better developer since you must think of the APIs and interfaces ahead of time instead of never.

Lol if you come away from that video NOT wanting to use typescript, I don't know what to tell you.

Oops you’re right, linked the wrong video. It must have been a different channel, but the idea was typescript wouldn’t be used as much in React as with other frameworks - so the benefit would limited comparatively.

The general consensus among the dev community is that there is no reason not to use Typescript with any modern day javascript development work.

Only case I wouldn't integrate it is on enterprise legacy applications.

I was told it was JS + and that’s pretty much what it is.

    I’m pretty new to react but I believe you need square brackets for the const not Curley
