☂️Umbrella: TypeScript migration

[thymikee]

Describe the Feature

Some time ago we started migrating CLI to TS package by package. The infrastructure is already set up, so we can work with TS and Flow files without issues.

Currently all packages except for packages/cli are converted. We need your help in converting the rest of the codebase 💪.

Work plan

If you'd like to help with migrating any of the packages mentioned below, please leave a comment and we'll assign it to you.

Commands

Commands live in separate directories. It makes sense to tackle them one by one.

• commands/bundle (@Quadriphobs1)
• commands/config (@netochaves)
• commands/doctor (@thib92)
• commands/info (@FLGMwt)
• commands/init (@gvarandas)
• commands/install (@DanielUche)
• commands/link (@anikethsaha)
• commands/server (@Esemesek)
• commands/upgrade (@thymikee)
• commands/index.js (@thymikee)

Tools

Tools are helpers we use throughout the cli package. They have corresponding test files, which can be found in commands/tools/__tests__ directory. Those should also be converted.

• commands/tools/assertRequiredOptions.js (@konojunya)
• commands/tools/assign.js (@radko93)
• commands/tools/brewInstall.js (@thymikee)
• commands/tools/config/ (@PTROCKI)
• commands/tools/copyAndReplace.js (@luizcieslak)
• commands/tools/copyFiles.js (@sasurau4)
• commands/tools/findSymlinkedModules.js (@pveyes)
• commands/tools/generator/ (@KangYoosam)
• commands/tools/gracefulifyFs.js (@assuncaocharles)
• commands/tools/install.js (@thymikee)
• commands/tools/installPods.js (@thymikee)
• commands/tools/isValidPackageName.js (@radko93)
• commands/tools/loadMetroConfig.js (@radko93)
• commands/tools/loader.js (@thymikee)
• commands/tools/merge.js (@Naturalclar)
• commands/tools/packageManager.js (@moriyuu)
• commands/tools/releaseChecker/ (@FLGMwt)
• commands/tools/replacePathSepForRegex.js (@FLGMwt)
• commands/tools/walk.js (@FLGMwt)
• commands/tools/yarn.js (@FLGMwt)

Root index files in src/

Let's tackle this once we have all commands converted.

• cliEntry.js, index.js, bin.js (@Esemesek)

[FLGMwt]

👋 Hey stranger ; D

I'm happy to give it a shot. I'd like to try to start with something small like commands/info. Could use some guidance about what to do about ConfigT from types which seems to be the only imported flow type.

[thymikee]

Hey! You can find shared types like Config, Command etc in @react-native-community/cli-types package.

[netochaves]

I would like to work in config if that's ok.

[thib92]

Would love to take the ˋdoctor` command!

[thymikee]

@netochaves @thib92 go for it!

[FLGMwt]

I was pulling the thread on tools/releaseChecker so I can pull that and replacePathSepForRegex + walk + yarn in too.

[gvarandas]

I can tackle the commands/init 🤖

[DanielUche]

I will like to tackle commands/install

[Naturalclar]

I'd like to help with commands/tools/merge.js
