JSDoc *Is* TypeScript

1. TypeScript

   1 1,476 107,133 9.5 TypeScript

   TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

   

   JSDoc works great for buildless application setups! One downside is that if you publish a library to npm you still need a build step to generate .d.ts files from your JSDoc type annotations so that npm shows a "TS" badge on the npm package page. This also seems to apply to VSCode's intellisense which keeps trying to poke you to "try to install @types/jsdoc-typed-package to get type information". Other JS ecosystem tooling also doesn't seem to process JSDoc types at all such as jsdocs.io or tsdocs.dev. So for libraries we're stuck with .d.ts generation via "tsc --allowJs --checkJs --declaration ..." even if it's all JS.

   npm displays packages with bundled TypeScript declarations https://github.blog/changelog/2020-12-16-npm-displays-packag...

   JSDoc-typed node modules require special configuration in consumers to be useful https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/19145

3. proposal-type-annotations

   2 117 4,371 4.7 JavaScript

   ECMAScript proposal for type syntax that is erased - Stage 1

   

   The sooner we get https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations, the better.

   Once we get it, there is still a solid decade before runtimes support it, and optimistically, still more 10 years minimum having to deal with an interpreted language that has acquired an unecessary build step.

5. zod

   4 409 41,115 9.8 TypeScript

   TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference

   

   The type checker can only prove what is known at compile time and only if you're disciplined.

   To bridge runtime and compile time (as your application will likely get some external data) you've got to use a proper parser such as zod[1] or if you want to stretch it even further effect-schema[2].

6. arktype

   5 61 7,451 8.9 TypeScript

   TypeScript's 1:1 validator, optimized from editor to runtime

   

   I’m currently in love with Arktype, and as it supports Standard Schema it plugs into most places that can take Zod schemas too :)

7. typescript-go

   6 30 23,398 9.9 Go

   Staging repo for development of native port of TypeScript

   

   There is indeed an option in VSCode (can't find it right now), following the work in https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go/pull/1543

8. proposal-signals

   7 18 4,011 4.4 TypeScript

   A proposal to add signals to JavaScript.

   

9. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

   

10. solarite

    8 2 6 8.9 JavaScript

    JavaScript UI framework.

    

    I've built Solarite, a library for doing minimal DOM updates on web components when the data changes. And other nice features like nested styles and passing constructor arguments to sub-components via attributes.

11. magic-loop

    9 2 10 6.7 TypeScript

    Web Component Framework

    

    It's ok now, at least for me. There are still challenges around theming and styling because of styling boundaries (which makes Web Components powerful, but still). A part of it is about tooling, which can be easier to improve.

    Try my tiny web components lib if you want to keep JSX but not the rest of React: https://github.com/webjsx/magic-loop

12. mastro

    10 3 103 9.4 TypeScript

    The simplest web framework and site generator yet – no bloat, no bundler, no client-side JS by default.
