Setting up a TypeScript and Gatsby project with GraphQL

Gatsby, an open-source framework based on React, enables developers to build fast websites and apps utilizing modern web technologies, offering features such as server-side rendering and static progressive web apps. The framework supports data fetching through GraphQL, using either page queries or StaticQuery, to manage site data efficiently. The integration of TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript providing static typing, helps developers catch errors early, enhancing productivity. The article demonstrates how to transform a starter Gatsby project into a TypeScript app, outlining the necessary setup, including installing dependencies, configuring files, and modifying components with TypeScript interfaces for props. Additionally, tools like LogRocket offer enhanced user experience monitoring, capturing detailed session data and assisting in debugging GraphQL requests, thereby improving app reliability and performance.
