React's Most Useful Types
We don't think of React as shipping its own types. But React's types are a core part of the framework - overseen by the React team, and co-ordinated with React's major releases.In this live coding talk, we'll look at all the types you've been missing out on. How do you get the props type from a component? How do you know what ref a component takes? Should you use React.FC? And what's the deal with JSX.Element?You'll walk away with a bunch of exciting ideas to take to your React applications, and hopefully a new appreciation for the wonders of React and TypeScript working together.

Stop Writing Your Routes
The more you keep working on an application, the more complicated its routing becomes, and the easier it is to make a mistake. ""Was the route named users or was it user?"", ""Did it have an id param or was it userId?"". If only TypeScript could tell you what are the possible names and params. If only you didn't have to write a single route anymore and let a plugin do it for you. In this talk we will go through what it took to bring automatically typed routes for Vue Router.

Type-Safe Style Systems: The Future of CSS
Most CSS developers today write visual styles in terms of what you literally see: exact color values, size numbers, and so on. But what if you could write styles as a function of how they fit into your design system? And what if you could get type safety in specifying and using those values, including in responsive props?

This talk will dive into some of the key features and flaws in many design system builders today such as Chakra UI and Tailwind. We'll establish what the best next steps for design systems should be with type-safe TypeScript APIs and performance both for prebuilt pages and at runtime.

Are the (module) types wrong?
Have you ever installed a dependency, imported it just like the README instructs, and immediately been met with strange TypeScript errors about default imports, the output module format, or ESM/CommonJS interoperability? When everything works at runtime but TypeScript complains, you might wonder, is this a TypeScript bug? Or… are the types wrong?
The JavaScript module and package publishing landscape is complicated. Nearly one third of the most popular types-included npm packages have some sort of module-related typings issue that can cause confusion for users. But things are starting to improve. In this talk, we’ll:

- explore how we got here—why are things complicated?
- develop a simple and accurate mental model for how TypeScript sees packages
- see how the `arethetypeswrong` tool can help catch issues before publishing
- look at trends in the `arethetypeswrong` data for popular packages over time
- discuss next steps for making the typed package ecosystem better

The Potential of Higher-Kinded Types for Library Semantics
There is a wall that we all hit when developing more sophisticated types: how can I 'abstract out' certain commonalities in my type-level logic? How can I make my types more reusable and composable? How can I make my types more expressive?

This talk will introduce the fundamentals of Higher-Kinded Types, a compelling concept hitherto underutilized, and explore how they can significantly enhance the expressiveness of library semantics, leading to a more intuitive developer experience (DX). We'll demonstrate how HKTs can provide an elevated abstraction level, allowing you to model complex domain problems more naturally and in a type-safe manner.

Join us to understand how leveraging HKTs can elevate your TypeScript coding practice, optimizing the semantics and delivering a more potent and featureful library interface.

Faster TypeScript builds with --isolatedDeclarations
Type-checking a TypeScript codebase can be slow, especially for monorepos containing lots of projects that each need to use the type checker to generate type declaration files. In this talk, we introduce — for the very first time — a new TypeScript feature we are working on called “Isolated Declarations” that allows DTS files to be generated without using the type checker at all! This opens the door to faster declaration generation in TypeScript itself, as well as in external tools written in other languages such as ESBuild and swc. You'll see how to use this new option, and maybe (just maybe) you’ll be convinced about the benefits of explicit return types! Most importantly, we will show how Isolated Declarations enables parallel builds to spread work across your CPU cores to significantly improve the build speed of your TypeScript projects.

ArkType: Bringing TypeScript to Runtime
ArkType is a new runtime validator for TypeScript and the first library with the goal of making type syntax available 1:1 in JS with no compilation step.

It uses a carefully optimized static parser so that with each character you type, you'll see a list of completions, a clear ParseError, or your inferred type. At runtime, a simple definition like "string|number[]" will be transformed into a TypeNode that can be used to validate or transform inputs, compared to other TypeNodes, or combined with other definitions to form new TypeNodes.

This talk will cover the process of building ArkType, with a focus on the type-level parser and runtime type system, and demo some of the most exciting features like scopes, index signatures and generics.

Zod === Typescript, but at Runtime in Your React Applications
In this talk, I want to show how we can use Zod to guarantee the type in a React Application at runtime. Environment variables, HTTP requests, forms and so on could create troubles in our applications, mainly if they contain unexpected types. Using Zod, we can create schemas to guarantee the types expected in our editor at runtime. In this way, we can react quickly when an environment variable misses or when someone changes the API contract without informing us.
A small validation layer in our applications can prevent a bad user experience and notify us immediately, so we can fix the problem as soon as possible and mitigate the visualization of wrong data.

Parse, Don’t Validate
Most JavaScript applications use JSON.parse to create any object first, and then validate and narrow the data type to the expected one. This approach has performance and security problems, as even if the data is invalid, the whole JSON string needs to be parsed first before the data is validated, instead of failing at JSON parsing stage (e.g., if number is passed instead of string in some property).
Many languages support parsing of JSON strings directly into the expected types, but it is not natively supported in JavaScript or TypeScript.In this talk we will show how the powers of TypeScript combined with the new specification JSON Type Definition (RFC 8927) and Ajv library can be used to parse your data directly into the expected application-defined type faster than JSON.parse, and also how to serialize data of a known type approximately 10 times faster than JSON.serialize.

Safely Handling Dynamic Data with TypeScript
TypeScript makes JavaScript safer adding static type definitions. Static definitions are wonderful; they prevent developers from making trivial mistakes ensuring every assignment and invocation is done correctly. A variable typed as a string cannot be assigned a number, and a function expecting three arguments cannot be called with only two. These definitions only exist at build time though; the code that is eventually executed is just JavaScript. But what about the response from an API request? In this talk Ethan Arrowood, Software Engineer 2 @ Microsoft, he will cover various solutions for safely typing dynamic data in TypeScript applications. This talk features popular technologies such as Fastify, JSON Schema, Node.js, and more!
