ts-migrate is a CLI tool from Airbnb that converts JavaScript or partial TypeScript projects into compiling TypeScript projects using a plugin-based codemod pipeline. It accelerates large-scale migrations by producing code that builds immediately, though it relies on @ts-expect-error and any annotations that require later cleanup.

Use cases

• migrate a large JavaScript codebase to TypeScript
• convert frontend app from JS to TS quickly
• codemod a partial TypeScript project to fully compile
• reignore existing TypeScript errors after upgrading
• write custom migration plugins for codebase-specific transforms

When to choose

• you need to migrate a large JavaScript codebase to TypeScript incrementally and get a compiling build fast
• you want a plugin-based, customizable codemod framework for TS migrations
• you need to suppress and triage type errors at scale with a reignore pass

When to avoid

• you want fully type-safe output with no manual cleanup
• you are starting a new project and can write TypeScript from scratch
• your codebase is small enough to migrate by hand
