Migrating large JavaScript codebases to TypeScript can be risky and disruptive. This skill enables gradual adoption by leveraging the allowJs option to mix .js and .ts files in the same project, allowing teams to convert code incrementally while preserving a working codebase.
allowJs in tsconfig.json to mix JavaScript and TypeScript files without a full rewrite.Enable allowJs in your tsconfig.json, then begin by converting a small leaf module to TypeScript to validate the workflow.

To incrementally migrate JavaScript to TypeScript, enable the allowJs option in tsconfig.json to mix .js and .ts files. This allows you to convert files gradually without a full rewrite, preserving a working codebase throughout the process.
The best strategy for mixing JavaScript and TypeScript files is a phased conversion approach. Start by converting small leaf modules, validate the workflow, then progressively migrate dependencies toward the entry points to ensure low-risk, incremental adoption.
You do not need checkJs enabled initially to start a gradual TypeScript migration. The core requirement is enabling allowJs in tsconfig.json, while checkJs is an optional setting you can use to add type-checking to your remaining JavaScript files.
You can maintain feature development while migrating a mixed JS and TS project because the incremental approach preserves a working codebase. This safe pathway reduces disruption and allows teams to learn TypeScript while continuing feature development.
A limitation of using allowJs for migrating JavaScript codebases is that mixed files require a phased strategy from leaf modules to entry points. Teams must carefully manage dependencies during this gradual adoption to avoid disrupting the existing working codebase.
