How to convert tsx to jsx

by

To convert a .tsx file to .jsx, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Rename the file extension from .tsx to .jsx.
  2. Remove any TypeScript-specific syntax or features from the code.
  3. Replace all instances of the TSX file extension in your project with JSX.
  4. Update any TypeScript configuration files to reflect the change in file extension.

Let’s consider an example to better understand the process:

/* Before.tsx */
import React from 'react';

interface Props {
  name: string;
}

const MyComponent: React.FC<Props> = ({ name }) => (
  <div>Hello, {name}!</div>
);

export default MyComponent;
  
/* After.jsx */
import React from 'react';

const MyComponent = ({ name }) => (
  <div>Hello, {name}!</div>
);

export default MyComponent;

In this example, we have a .tsx file called Before.tsx which contains TypeScript-specific syntax like the interface and the specific typing for the React.FC component.

To convert it to .jsx, we rename the file to After.jsx and remove the TypeScript-specific syntax. We also update the imports and remove the TypeScript-specific type definition for React.FC.

After completing these steps, the .tsx file is successfully converted to .jsx, which can be used in a JavaScript-based React project.
