The codemod is a tool that helps developers migrate their codebase when we introduce changes in a new version. The changes could be deprecations, enhancements, or breaking changes.
The codemods for JavaScript files are based on jscodeshift which is a wrapper of recast.
The codemods for CSS files are based on postcss.
- Create a new folder in
packages/mui-codemod/src/*/*
with the name of the codemod. - The folder should include:
<codemod>.js
- the transform implementationindex.js
- exports the transform functionpostcss-plugin.js
- the postcss plugin (optional)postcss.config.js
- the postcss config file (optional)<codemod>.test.js
- tests for the codemods (use jscodeshift from thetestUtils
folder)test-cases
- folder with fixtures for the codemodactual.js
- the input for the codemodexpected.js
- the expected output of the codemodactual.css
- the input for the postcss plugin (optional)expected.css
- the expected output of the postcss plugin (optional)
- Use astexplorer to check the AST types and properties
- For JavaScript codemods set </> to @babel/parser because we use
tsx
as a default parser. - For CSS codemods set </> to postcss
- For JavaScript codemods set </> to @babel/parser because we use
- Test the codemod locally
- Add the codemod to README.md
I recommend to follow these steps to test the codemod:
- Create an
actual.js
file with the code you want to transform. - Run local transformation to check if the codemod is correct.
- Copy the transformed code to
expected.js
. - Run
pnpm tc <codemod>
to final check if the codemod is correct.
💡 The reason that I don't recommend creating the expected.js
and run the test with pnpm
script is because the transformation is likely not pretty-printed and it's hard to compare the output with the expected output.
Open the terminal at root directory and run the codemod to test the transformation, for example, testing the accordion-props
codemod:
node packages/mui-codemod/codemod deprecations/accordion-props packages/mui-codemod/src/deprecations/accordion-props/test-cases/theme.actual.js
To simulate a consumer-facing experience on any project before merging the PR, open the CodeSandbox CI build and copy the link from the "Local Install Instructions" section.
Run the codemod to test the transformation:
npx @mui/codemod@<link> <codemod> <path>
For example:
npx @mui/codemod@https://pkg.csb.dev/mui/material-ui/commit/39bf9464/@mui/codemod deprecations/accordion-props docs/src/modules/brandingTheme.ts
