As we convert parts of the codebase to TypeScript, we will want a way to
track progress. This commit adds a dashboard which displays all of the
files that we wish to convert to TypeScript and which files we've
already converted.
The list of all possible files to convert is predetermined by walking
the dependency graph of each entrypoint the build system uses to compile
the extension (the files that the entrypoint imports, the files that the
imports import, etc). The list should not need to be regenerated, but
you can do it by running:
yarn ts-migration:enumerate
The dashboard is implemented as a separate React app. The CircleCI
configuration has been updated so that when a new commit is pushed, the
React app is built and stored in the CircleCI artifacts. When a PR is
merged, the built files will be pushed to a separate repo whose sole
purpose is to serve the dashboard via GitHub Pages (this is the same
way that the Storybook works). All of the app code and script to build
the app are self-contained under
`development/ts-migration-dashboard`. To build this app yourself, you
can run:
yarn ts-migration:dashboard:build
or if you want to build automatically as you change files, run:
yarn ts-migration:dashboard:watch
Then open the following file in your browser (there is no server
component):
development/ts-migration-dashboard/build/index.html
Finally, although you shouldn't have to do this, to manually deploy the
dashboard once built, you can run:
git remote add ts-migration-dashboard git@github.com:MetaMask/metamask-extension-ts-migration-dashboard.git
yarn ts-migration:dashboard:deploy
This commit allows developers to write TypeScript files and lint them
(either via a language server in their editor of choice or through the
`yarn lint` command).
The new TypeScript configuration as well as the updated ESLint
configuration not only includes support for parsing TypeScript files,
but also provides some compatibility between JavaScript and TypeScript.
That is, it makes it possible for a TypeScript file that imports a
JavaScript file or a JavaScript file that imports a TypeScript file to
be linted.
Note that this commit does not integrate TypeScript into the build
system yet, so we cannot start converting files to TypeScript and
pushing them to the repo until that final step is complete.
