Transition the existing codebase from JavaScript to TypeScript to improve maintainability, scalability, and developer experience. This includes updating all frontend and backend code, configuring the build process, and ensuring that all existing functionality continues to work as expected.
Requirements
[ ] Setup TypeScript: Install TypeScript, ts-node, and necessary typings for project dependencies.
[ ] Configure Build Process: Update build tools and scripts to handle TypeScript compilation.
[ ] Convert Backend: Migrate all backend Node.js files from JavaScript to TypeScript.
[ ] Convert Frontend: Migrate all frontend React files from JavaScript to TypeScript.
[ ] Type Definitions: Define robust types for existing data structures and API contracts.
[ ] Continuous Integration: Update CI pipelines to handle the TypeScript build and test process.
[ ] Documentation Update: Update README and other relevant documentation to reflect the shift to TypeScript.
Additional Information
This transition aims to leverage TypeScript's static typing to catch errors early, improve code quality, and enhance collaboration among developers. It is important to perform this migration incrementally and ensure that each step is thoroughly tested to maintain the stability and functionality of the application.
