Happy Monday Everyone! RMWC 5.1.0 represents the realization and payoff of the hard work to convert to Typescript. One of the reasons RMWC convereted over is because Material Components Web was in process of doing the same. Mat Webs official 1.0.0 release (yes they were still in Alpha after 2 years…) also includes the conversion to Typescript. What does this mean for you? I means less bugs, quicker updates, full tree shaking, and a tighter integration between the two layers.
