Migration to TypeScript? about kuma-gui HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, This will be an awesome improvement to make the code bulletproof 💯 . But, I see a practice in some typescript projects is that ppl start defining types with any, So, it will be easier for them to speed up their coding ( we need to avoid that ).

Also, it will be awesome if we even introduce unit testing using https://testing-library.com for components and views.

@tharun208 thank you for a great suggestion. I would definitely look for not approving any as a type, also I'm working on introducing unit testing currently :-)

@bartsmykla happy to help as we made this switch recently (and as the maintainers of Kongponents, we will of course be migrating it to be v3 compat and eventually TS as well!). My suggestions for your upgrade path:

1. add the vue-cli plugin https://cli.vuejs.org/core-plugins/typescript.html#vue-cli-plugin-typescript

• https://cli.vuejs.org/core-plugins/typescript.html#installing-in-an-already-created-project

2. convert all .js to .ts
3. keep vue component script tags using default lang="js", and then begin switching components over to lang="ts"
4. For better or for worse, Vue 2's typescript story is incomplete. However, you can get the type safety you are looking for with the composition api https://github.com/vuejs/composition-api. I would install that and use defineComponent + PropType<T> which has been great.
5. Take this with a grain of salt, but I would go all in on strict mode if you can. We are not strict at the moment, and it will be painful to switch.

Typescript is slowly being introduced into the app. Probably we are not going to transform most of Vue components to use Typescript before we move to V3.
