📣 Modal Promises - never gonna give you up

Using modal components in React is a bit frustrating. Usually, it's not scalable, and you must maintain the modal's state and its arguments in the root component. Unfortunately, it becomes more challenging when we want typed results, trigger modals from children, etc. During the meetup I'll show how to maintain modals with Promises in a type-safe way. P.S. We can use the same approach with modals in React Native.

📣 TypeScript template literals - The force awakens

Typescript 4.1 was released 2 years ago. This release contained an exciting and long-awaited feature - template literal types. In our projects, it helped us to improve routing and translations. Not only it reduced bug counts, but it massively improved the Developer Experience. Warning - TypeScript heavy content! But have no fear - I will explain everything from the basics. Although TypeScript gurus are welcome, as well as we will touch on more complex topics like recursive value inference.
