private-props

The traditional use of the 'private' keyword in TypeScript is no longer necessary, as JavaScript supports private properties (#privateProps) natively. This tool is developed to save you hours of manual refactoring work, ensuring your codebase is up-to-date with the latest JavaScript standards.

Features

• Automatic Refactoring
  Effortlessly convert TypeScript 'private' properties to native JavaScript private properties + remove 'public' keywords.
• Code Optimization
  Enhance your code's readability and performance by utilizing JavaScript's native features.
• Safe Refactoring
  Designed to retain the original logic, functionality and formatting of your code while implementing the latest JavaScript syntax.
• Easy to use
  Specify your target folder and run the script. It finds all your ts files (also in subfolders) and refactors all the classes.

Getting Started

1. Install it
   npm i @jsboost/private-props
2. Run it node node_modules/@jsboost/private-props {TARGET_FOLDER}
3. Enjoy

Example

> node node_modules/@jsboost/private-props sample-folder

Processing file: sample-folder/sample-file.ts
- Renaming 'private privateProperty' to '#privateProperty'
- Renaming 'public publicProperty' to 'publicProperty'
- Renaming 'private privateMethod' to '#privateMethod'
- Renaming 'public publicMethod' to 'publicMethod'

Before

class SampleClass {
  private privateProperty = 1;
  public publicProperty = 2;

  constructor() {
    this.privateMethod();
    this.publicMethod();
  }

  private privateMethod() {
    console.log('private method', this.privateMethod);
  }

  public publicMethod() {
    console.log('public method', this.publicMethod);
  }
}

After

class SampleClass {
  #privateProperty = 1;
  publicProperty = 2;

  constructor() {
    this.#privateMethod();
    this.publicMethod();
  }

  #privateMethod() {
    console.log('private method', this.#privateMethod);
  }

  publicMethod() {
    console.log('public method', this.publicMethod);
  }
}
