r/typescript on Reddit: How to upgrade TypeScript versions - what's your process regarding breaking changes?
May 23, 2021 -

So I want to update my (very large*) project from TypeScript 2.3.3 to the latest version, and I know that a breaking changes doc exists.

What's your approach to go from TS 2.3 to 4.2? The way I see it is...

  1. Switch to latest version, run a TS build and address errors as needed. I figure this is the best approach, but maybe I'm wrong.

  2. Use the breaking change doc and look at major version only. So look at 2.x -> 3.x breaking changes. Fix each manually, then upgrade to 3.x (which version?). Fix those errors an move on. This sounds pretty time consuming.

  3. Go through the doc and address all issues. This sounds insane.

I figure #1 is probably the quickest approach (and I guess I could've been well on my way in the time that it took to write this damn post). But I wanted to see others opinions.

*this project is 180,000 lines of typescript code. I consider it a humongous projects, but I have no idea what other people work on, so who knows.

You can then use your package manager to install a specific package to take over for a given lib For example, today TypeScript publishes versions of the DOM APIs on @types/web. If you wanted to lock your project to a specific version of the DOM APIs, you could add this to your package.json: ... Then from 4.5 onwards, you can update TypeScript and your dependency manager’s lockfile will ensure that it uses the exact same version of the DOM types.
