Type it to you make it: Fullstack TypeScript
Wednesday, July 31, 2024 - 6:00 PM UTC, for 1 hour.
Regular, 60 minute presentation
Room: African 10
When creating a fullstack application a common problem facing developers today is keeping data constant between the frontend and backend. What the backend expects and what the frontend sends is not always the same. In this talk we’ll look at this problem and different approaches to solve it. We’ll take a peek at some modern libraries that have taken this issue on, with a live demo. We’ll also compare and contrast other TypeScript approaches using AWS Amplify. As well as common type errors that can slow developer down. Finally, we’ll see how we can extend this concept to other parts of our app.
