How much typescript is necessary to get a job?

Hi,

I am curious to know how much typescript I should learn to be able to get a job as React dev.

Typescript has many concepts from beginner to advanced. I wanna know which concepts are necessary to land a job?

You don't need to master TypeScript to get a React job. I'd focus on the basics first: types, interfaces, type aliases, unions, generics, and typing React props/state.

You should be comfortable reading and writing TypeScript in a real React project. More advanced concepts like conditional types and mapped types can be learned later as needed.

Practical TypeScript + strong React/JavaScript fundamentals is more important than knowing every TypeScript feature.
