BTD has quite a few bugs that was due to type mismatch. After a while I decided to migrate the application from ES6 to TypeScript. I believe it will provide me with some benefits in refactoring, type checking, type safety, and possibly making the code more well organized by having to define types more clearly.<\/p>\n
After spending a few hours copying the code over, rename all the files from .js to .tsx and modifying the files to run in TypeScripts, I managed to make it compile and run. Though I had to disable TSLint completely as it throws lots and lots of errors.<\/p>\n
To finish this migration, I will just work on it bit by bit until it becomes stable again.<\/p>\n
I’m also considering switching the UI framework from Antd to Andtd mobile as it supports building using react-native, which might make it possible to build an Android version of the app together with the web version for desktop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
