flow-to-ts
Convert Flow code to TypeScript.
⚠️ This is a WIP and many things still do not work properly. There may also be the odd regression from time to time as work progresses.
The goal of this project is to provide a tool that can translate 95% of Flow
to TypeScript while maintaining a high percentage of the existing type
information. We don't want to convert code and end up with everything using
any. We also want to avoid having to make a lot of manual changes to files
afterwards, e.g. changing SyntheticEvent to React.Event.
Quick start
yarn global add @khanacademy/flow-to-tsflow-to-ts [options] <file globs>
For a comprehensive list of available options, please check out the CLI code.

Principles
- when exact translation isn't possible:
- downgrade to
anywhen possible and provide a gentle warning - when it isn't possible to downgrade (e.g.
%checks), remove the syntax and provide a forceful warning that the code in question will need a human to convert it manually.
- downgrade to
- best effort to maintain blank lines and the position comments, this isn't always possible so warn in those situations where we can't, e.g. converting object type spreads to intersection types.
