Features of Our JS to TS Converter
Type Inference
Automatically infers types from JavaScript code and adds appropriate TypeScript annotations.
Migration Tips
- Start with
strict: falsein tsconfig.json and enable strict mode gradually - Use
anyas a temporary placeholder for complex types — replace them incrementally - Install
@types/packages for third-party libraries:npm install @types/node @types/react - The converter handles straightforward cases — complex dynamic patterns may need manual annotation
- Run
tsc --noEmitafter conversion to see remaining type errors - Migrate one file at a time — TypeScript and JavaScript can coexist during migration
Paste your JavaScript code to instantly get TypeScript with type annotations. All conversion happens in your browser.
Interface Generation
Creates TypeScript interfaces for objects and complex data structures.
Instant Conversion
Convert JavaScript to TypeScript in real-time without server uploads.
100% Private
All processing happens in your browser. Your code never leaves your device.
Why Convert JavaScript to TypeScript?
- Type Safety: Catch errors at compile-time instead of runtime
- Better IDE Support: Enhanced autocomplete and IntelliSense
- Improved Maintainability: Self-documenting code with type annotations
- Refactoring Confidence: Safely refactor with type checking
- Team Collaboration: Clear contracts between code modules
- Modern Features: Access latest JavaScript features with backward compatibility
Conversion Examples
Example 1: Function with Parameters
JavaScript:
function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
TypeScript:
function add(a: number, b: number): number {
return a + b;
}
Common Conversion Patterns
Here are common JavaScript patterns and their TypeScript equivalents:
Variables & Constants
JS: const name = 'John';
TS: const name: string = 'John';
Arrays
JS: const numbers = [1, 2, 3];
TS: const numbers: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
Objects
JS: const user = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
TS: const user: { name: string; age: number } = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
Classes
JS: class Person { constructor(name) { this.name = name; } }
TS: class Person { name: string; constructor(name: string) { this.name = name; } }
Best Practices for Migration
- Start with tsconfig.json: Configure TypeScript compiler options
- Rename files gradually: Change .js to .ts one file at a time
- Use 'any' initially: Add proper types incrementally
- Enable strict mode: Gradually enable stricter type checking
- Add type definitions: Install @types packages for libraries
- Test thoroughly: Ensure functionality remains unchanged
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the conversion 100% accurate?
A: Basic conversions are accurate, but complex code may need manual type adjustments. Always review and test converted code.
Q: Can I convert entire projects?
A: This tool is best for individual files. For full projects, use TypeScript's migration tools or convert files incrementally.
Q: Will my JavaScript code still work?
A: Yes, TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript. Valid JavaScript is valid TypeScript (though it may need type annotations).
Q: Do I need to install anything?
A: No, this online converter works entirely in your browser. For development, install TypeScript via npm.
Examples
Example 1: Basic Variable and Function Conversion
JavaScript input:
const name = "Alice";
const age = 30;
const isActive = true;
function greet(user) {
return `Hello, ${user.name}! You are ${user.age} years old.`;
}
TypeScript output:
const name: string = "Alice";
const age: number = 30;
const isActive: boolean = true;
interface User {
name: string;
age: number;
}
function greet(user: User): string {
return `Hello, ${user.name}! You are ${user.age} years old.`;
}
Example 2: Array and Object Types
JavaScript input:
const users = [
{ id: 1, name: "Alice", email: "alice@example.com" },
{ id: 2, name: "Bob", email: "bob@example.com" }
];
function getUserById(users, id) {
return users.find(user => user.id === id);
}
const config = {
apiUrl: "https://api.example.com",
timeout: 5000,
retries: 3
};
TypeScript output:
interface User {
id: number;
name: string;
email: string;
}
const users: User[] = [
{ id: 1, name: "Alice", email: "alice@example.com" },
{ id: 2, name: "Bob", email: "bob@example.com" }
];
function getUserById(users: User[], id: number): User | undefined {
return users.find(user => user.id === id);
}
interface Config {
apiUrl: string;
timeout: number;
retries: number;
}
const config: Config = {
apiUrl: "https://api.example.com",
timeout: 5000,
retries: 3
};
Example 3: Async Functions and Promises
JavaScript input:
async function fetchUser(id) {
const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error: ${response.status}`);
}
const data = await response.json();
return data;
}
async function createUser(userData) {
const response = await fetch('/api/users', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(userData)
});
return response.json();
}
TypeScript output:
interface UserData {
name: string;
email: string;
[key: string]: unknown;
}
interface ApiUser {
id: number;
name: string;
email: string;
createdAt: string;
}
async function fetchUser(id: number): Promise<ApiUser> {
const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error: ${response.status}`);
}
const data: ApiUser = await response.json();
return data;
}
async function createUser(userData: UserData): Promise<ApiUser> {
const response = await fetch('/api/users', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(userData)
});
return response.json() as Promise<ApiUser>;
}
