Quest for IDE refactoring support within JavaScript via js-codemods
npm install refactoring-codemodsQuest for IDE refactoring support within JavaScript via jscodeshift codemods.
Refactoring a large JavaScript codebase is no fun. Moving files around, renaming files or renaming exported functions simply breaks all dependents import/require paths, and is a huge pain to correct. Simple search and replace is NOT a good solution.
Codemods to the rescue :rocket: With the power of an AST we can determine which files in our project have previously depended on either the rename/moved file or renamed export, and automatically update the dependent code.
Three transforms are provided as low-level AST transforms for achieve either a file rename/move or a file export rename.
_The API of this library is designed to be integrated with an IDE that leverages these transforms to update user code transparently._
Install codemods via npm:
``javascript`
> yarn add refactoring-codemods
Fix all dependent import/require paths when a file has been renamed/moved.
Call this transform on your source/test files and all dependents import/require paths will be updated to match the new file name/location.
_Note: prevFilePath and nextFilePath are absolute_
`sh`
> jscodeshift \
-t import-declaration-transform \
fileA fileB \
--prevFilePath=/Users/jurassix/example/bar.js \
--nextFilePath=/Users/jurassix/example/new/path/to/bar.js
Example:
`js`
import foo from './bar';
becomes
`js`
import foo from './new/path/to/bar';
Fix all relative import/require paths when a file has been renamed/moved.
Call this transform on the single file that is being moved to a new location and all relative import/require paths will be updated to match the new file name/location.
_Note: prevFilePath and nextFilePath are absolute_
`sh`
> jscodeshift \
-t import-relative-transform \
bar.js \
--prevFilePath=/Users/jurassix/example/old/path/to/bar.js \
--nextFilePath=/Users/jurassix/example/new/path/to/bar.js
Example:
`js`
import foo from '../../foo';
becomes
`js`
import foo from '../../../../old/path/foo';
Fix all dependent import/require variables when a file export been renamed.
Call this transform on your source/test files and all dependents import/require variables will be updated to match the new file export name.
_Note: declarationFilePath is absolute_
`js`
> jscodeshift \
-t import-specifier-transform \
fileA fileB \
--prevSpecifier=foo \
--nextSpecifier=fooPrime \
--declarationFilePath=/Users/jurassix/example/bar.js
Example:
`js
import foo from './bar';
foo();
`
becomes
`js
import fooPrime from './bar';
fooPrime();
`
sh
> yarn build
`$3
`sh
> yarn test
