Best 10 Code Snippets for Remix and TypeScript in 2022

What is a Code Snippet?

A Code Snippet is a block of code you can share and reuse. By reusing safe and proven code, you not only improve your productivity but you also make sure you always import the correct code and are not missing anything (e.g. missing argument, not checking error code or exceptions).

Why use Code Snippets for Remix & TypeScript?

Remix with typescript is a good combination. We usually spend most of our time writing and typing code. On the other hand, we should be focusing on the best way to optimize code and find the best out of your code. Sharing and reusing code snippets will boost your productivity and save time focusing on the good part. These code snippets will help you write better code faster.

How to add your Code Snippet?

You can add your snippet and share them with the community using snipt.dev and the underlying Codiga snippet engine. Create an account on app.codiga.io, log in and create your recipe. Make sure you create them with public visibility to give all users access to the recipes.
