Overview of this book

Reading, navigating, and debugging a large frontend codebase can be challenging. Learn React with TypeScript, 3rd Edition helps you overcome these challenges by teaching you React, TypeScript, and Next.js, which are core technologies for building scalable, high-performance apps. Updated for React 19, this new edition covers new features such as React Server Components, server functions, and powerful modern hooks, including useFormStatus and useActionState. You'll build type-safe components using TypeScript, making this book ideal for React beginners who want to master patterns aligned with real-world frontend and React developer roles. You’ll also explore Next.js for RSCs and routing, and learn to use Zustand for global state in React—a lightweight alternative to traditional state managers. The chapters guide you through efficient data-fetching strategies with RSCs in Next.js, as well as in single-page applications (SPAs). The book also covers form handling, reusable architecture, and testing React components with Vitest to ensure robust, production-ready apps. By the end of this book, you’ll have the confidence and skills to build maintainable React applications with TypeScript and Next.js, following modern web development best practices.

Understanding the structure of a React app

In this section, we will explore the entry point of the React app created in the last section and how it is loaded into the HTML page. We will then learn about the React component tree and how a component is defined.

Understanding the React entry point

The entry point of this React app is in the main.jsx file in the src folder. Open this file and inspect its contents. It contains a call to React’s createRoot function as follows:

createRoot(document.getElementById(‘root’)).render(
  <StrictMode>
    <App />
  </StrictMode>,
)

Here’s an explanation of this code:

  • As the name suggests, createRoot creates a root in the HTML document for the React components. createRoot takes in a DOM element for where to place the React components, which is the element that has the ID of ‘root’ in this case.
  • createRoot returns an object containing...
