That’s exactly the workaround, yes.

It's worse than that. Imagine useFoo has 12 generic arguments, the details of which you have no clue, and don't want to know.

They're usually just inferred from runtime arguments, so being able to get the type against actual code would be WAAAAY nicer.

Imagine if you could do typeof, but with actual code, but code that doesn’t execute.

So in react do

type HookResult = decltype useFoo();

But useFoo() doesn’t actually execute. TS just pretends it did, and notes the return type.

✊🥲

Hahaha I'm stuck in Java-land for backend stuff. I just want proper generics without the type erasure 🫣

@searyanc.dev make it happen papi

I am once again asking TypeScript to ship me a decltype keyword

Yeah turns out the rest of the state doesn’t want to pay for NYC’s inability to budget effectively

I'm looking forward to his across-the-board 10% property tax hike 🚀🫦

He's about to teach his supporters that renters do indeed pay property tax. I love him for that ❤️

I was skeptical of Zohran but my god I was wrong. I unironically love this dude 🚀

This is apples to oranges. It's really neat that SolidStart will automatically re-fetch data that's pre-loaded in a route, when that route performs an update via a form submission.

But what's described in my post is much, much more flexible.

Interesting. Mind dropping a link to the relevant docs? I remember @ryansolid.bsky.social telling me single flight mutations were a combination of multiple features, but that was a few years ago.

Sure! If the UI is slow to refetch you might absolutely want to do something else. Ie immediately show a "Success" toast and then just show a loading spinner for the UI.

Lots of options - TanStack supports any subset of this :D

Single Flight Mutations in TanStack Start: Part 1 What if we could mutate data *and* get all the data back we need to properly update the UI in just one network round-trip?

Really excited to share this blog post.

I can't imagine a better architected Middleware system than what's in TanStack Start, and I can't imagine a better demonstration of its power than single flight mutations.

I know this is old news but it's still incredibly cool to me how well AI can help spot errors in my code.

Without it I'd have been stuck until morning, when I could ping an actual Java dev. Now I'll have a PR done and waiting 😬

That’s hella weird. Especially when the tw classes can be dynamic with []

I went to a party and a George Clinton concert broke out

Those slippers! 😍

Fortunately this deal gives them back their food, so there’s that at least 😑

Mostly. The subsidies only applied to a relatively small % of the population. Most have healthcare via their job.

Also the dems have zero real power so they couldn’t really keep shutting down air travel over the coming holidays. They control neither house of congress.

But ya it sucks

The Weird Parts of position: sticky; There are a number of things that can rain on your sticky parade. Maybe it's time to actually understand why.

The Weird Parts of position: sticky; There are a number of things that can rain on your sticky parade. Maybe it's time to actually understand why.

You know how position: sticky always fails for weird reasons that are a pain in the 🍑 to fix?

I finally had enough, peeked at the spec, asked AI some questions, and mostly figured things out—and wrote about it here.

I've been using @tanstack.com Start for a new project and it's super good. The server functions completely replace the need for TRPC/GraphQL/REST, the middleware is composable and fully typed, and having TSRouter's nice typing and stateful search params is icing on the cake. A+!

There’s also a Solid port

Introducing TanStack Start Middleware TanStack Start is one of the most exciting full-stack web development frameworks I’ve seen. I’ve written about it before. In essence, TanStack Start takes TanStack Router, a superb, strongly-typed cli...

Oh you want to hear about why TanStack Start’s middleware is so incredible??

I gotchu

Great to know - thank you!!

Where are my hardcore JS spec nerds?

Is this spec'd behavior, or is it just a cool Vite feature?
