@backstage/codemods

A collection of codemods for use with Backstage projects. They are intended to improve and simplify large scale refactoring, upgrades of code to use new implementations, alignment to ADRs or project standards, or other refactoring.

Usage

This package is a wrapper around jscodeshift with some included transforms. The transforms can either be executed via the included CLI or directly via jscodeshift.

To run the core-imports codemod towards all source files in the current directory, run the following:

npx @backstage/codemods apply core-imports

Note that this will modify the source files directly, but it's possible to do a dry-run by adding the --dry flag.

By passing a list of paths the codemod will only be applied to those paths:

npx @backstage/codemods apply core-imports plugins/my-plugin-a plugins/my-plugin-b

To print a list of all available transforms you use the list command:

npx @backstage/codemods list

You can also apply the transforms manually using jscodeshift. The transforms are located within the transforms/ directory in this package, so running directly with jscodeshift looks like this:

npx jscodeshift --parser=tsx --extensions=tsx,js,ts,tsx --transform=node_modules/@backstage/codemods/transforms/core-imports.js .
