What is Solid.js and how can I use it with TypeScript?

Solid.js is a declarative JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It focuses on fine-grained reactivity and is highly performant. You can use it with TypeScript by installing the necessary types and configuring your project accordingly.

What are the benefits of using Solid.js over React?

Solid.js offers better performance due to its fine-grained reactivity model, which minimizes re-renders. It also has a smaller bundle size compared to React.

Can you show me a simple example of a Solid.js component in TypeScript?

Sure! Here's a simple counter component:

import { createSignal } from 'solid-js';

const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0);
  return (
    <div>
      <p>Count: {count()}</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count() + 1)}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  );
};
