React JavaScript to TypeScript Transform

Build Status

Transforms React code written in JavaScript to TypeScript.

Features:

  • Proxies PropTypes to React.Component generic type and removes PropTypes
  • Provides state typing for React.Component based on initial state and setState() calls in the component
  • Hoist large interfaces for props and state out of React.Component<P, S> into declared types
  • Convert functional components with PropTypes property to TypeScript and uses propTypes to generate function type declaration

Example

input

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
    static propTypes = {
        prop1: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
        prop2: PropTypes.number,
    };
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.state = { foo: 1, bar: 'str' };
    }
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                {this.state.foo}, {this.state.bar}, {this.state.baz}
            </div>
        );
    }
    onClick() {
        this.setState({ baz: 3 });
    }
}

output

type MyComponentProps = {
    prop1: string;
    prop2?: number;
};

type MyComponentState = {
    foo: number;
    bar: string;
    baz: number;
};

class MyComponent extends React.Component<MyComponentProps, MyComponentState> {
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.state = { foo: 1, bar: 'str' };
    }
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                {this.state.foo}, {this.state.bar}, {this.state.baz}
            </div>
        );
    }
    onClick() {
        this.setState({ baz: 3 });
    }
}

Usage

Install and configure

This repo currently needs to be cloned and built directly*

  1. Install yarn: brew install yarn
  2. git clone git@github.com:CrisisTextLine/react-javascript-to-typescript-transform.git
  3. Install dependencies: yarn install
  4. Build the package yarn build
  5. Set up an alias by adding this to your .bash_profile (or equivalent for a different shell)
    react-js-to-ts="node <PATH_TO_CLONED_REPO>/dist/cli.js"
    For .bash_profile you should be able to use do this with the following command:
    echo "\nalias react-js-to-ts=\"node `pwd`/dist/cli.js\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile

CLI

react-js-to-ts my-react-js-file.js

Development

Tests

Tests are organized in test folder. For each transform there is a folder that contains folders for each test case. Each test case has input.tsx and output.tsx.

npm test

Watch mode

Pass -w to npm test

npm test -- -w

Only a single test case

Pass -t with transform name and case name space separated to npm test

npm test -- -t "react-js-make-props-and-state-transform propless-stateless"

Original Project

NOTE: The original version of this project had a package installable from npm (npm install -g react-js-to-ts). This could then be used like react-js-to-ts my-react-js-file.js. Additionally it had a nifty VSCode Extension.

Since the original maintainers archived the original fork, we had to fork it to make updates. If we end up making a bunch of valuable updates, maybe we should publish our version somewhere.
