@types/react-dom

@types/react-dom

is a TypeScript definition package from the DefinitelyTyped project that provides type information for the react-dom library, essential for building React apps with TypeScript to get autocompletion and type safety for DOM-specific React functions like ReactDOM.render() and server-side rendering methods, installed via npm or yarn alongside react and @types/react.

Purpose & Use

Type Definitions: Adds static types for react-dom, allowing TypeScript to understand functions, properties, and return types for DOM manipulation within React.
TypeScript Integration: Crucial for TypeScript projects using React, providing IntelliSense and error checking for react-dom APIs.
Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Includes types for ReactDOMServer for SSR scenarios.

Installation

bash

npm install --save-dev @types/react @types/react-dom
# or
yarn add -D @types/react @types/react-dom

Note: You'll typically install @types/react and @types/react-dom together for a full setup.

Key Exports

ReactDOM: For client-side rendering (e.g., ReactDOM.createRoot()).
ReactDOMServer: For server-side rendering (e.g., ReactDOMServer.renderToString()).

How it Works

When you use React with TypeScript, @types/react-dom (and @types/react) provides the "contracts" for how these libraries work, ensuring you're using them correctly and catching potential bugs before runtime

import {useEffect} from "react";
