Suggestion

Provide a series of refactors about react hooks.

Use Cases

In my recently works. I have alway Wrap function, value declarations, expressions into React.useMemo or React.useCallback.
And I must find all the depends on the selection. And always missing some deps. It's not a good experience.

Could we provide some refactors to wrap something into well-known react hooks?

I'm not sure where's the bar of patterns we are allowed. but we have already had something like 'react-jsx'.

Examples


const Comp = props => {
  const value = props.a + props.b;

  const handleClick = () => {
    console.log('foo', value)
  }

  return <div onClick={handleClick}><SomeHeavyComponent value={value}/></div>
}

  • When I select props.a + props.b, convert into
React.useMemo(() => props.a + props.b, [props.a, props.b]);
  • When I select handleClick or the lambda, convert into
const handleClick = React.userCallback() => {
  console.log('foo', value)
}, [value])
  • When I select <SomeHeavyComponent value={value}/>, convert into
React.useMemo(() => (<SomeHeavyComponent value={value}/>), [value])

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

  • This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
  • This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
  • This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
  • This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
  • This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by clarifying which React hook patterns and dependency selections are in scope. Done would require an agreed pattern set and observable refactor behavior for the useMemo, useCallback, and JSX examples, with tests defined for those cases.
