TypeScript has become the standard for building robust React applications. This tutorial will help you get started.

## Why TypeScript?

TypeScript adds static typing to JavaScript, catching errors at compile time and improving code quality.

## Setting Up Your Project

```bash
npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript
```

## Basic Types in React

### Props Typing
```typescript
interface ButtonProps {
label: string;
onClick: () => void;
disabled?: boolean;
}
```

### State Typing
```typescript
const [count, setCount] = useState<number>(0);
```

## Best Practices

1. Use interfaces for props
2. Avoid using `any` type
3. Leverage type inference when possible

## Conclusion

TypeScript makes React development more predictable and maintainable.
