TypeScript Template literal types - who need it anyway?

The talk

One-sentence summary

Use template literal types for solving problems, not for ephemeral demo-cases only.

What's the format — is it a case study, a live coding session, a workshop or something else?

Between case study and live coding.
I can give the talk in EN or PL, up to you.

Tell us more about the talk

A long long time ago TypeScript 4.1 brought major change - introduced Template Literal Types. After this release examples like type-based parser or type-based SQL engine spawned like crazy. In the next releases, we get even more Template Literal Types features!

Cool. But it doesn’t answer our question - “Who needs it anyway?”

I’ll talk about Template Literal Types, and we’ll check more real-life use cases for them than the mentioned type-based SQL engine :)

Would you be willing to have a Q/A session after the talk?

Sure!

Do you mind if we record the event?

Please do :)

Is there anything we can help you with?

I'm good, thanks :)

Thanks for your contribution! One of the @WrocTypeScript/organisers will go back to you as soon as possible.

hello @michalczukm! good to hear from you ;)

this sounds like a great topic to share with the community — however, we're now experimenting with a different meetup format where talks are maximum 5-7 minute long, and it seems that your talk won’t fit into such a strict regimen

I would hate to ask you to trim your talk so significantly, so instead please consider giving your talk at either of these two events — I'm sure they would be also happy to have you:

• meet.js Wrocław (next event takes place on March 28th)
• Kongres.js

thanks!
