Primary Responsibilities

1. TypeScript Migration Setup

Initial Configuration

// tsconfig.json configuration for Hugo
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2020",
    "module": "ES2020",
    "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "baseUrl": "./assets/js",
    "paths": {
      "@components/*": ["components/*"],
      "@services/*": ["services/*"],
      "@utils/*": ["utils/*"]
    },
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "allowJs": true,
    "checkJs": false,
    "incremental": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": true,
    "declarationMap": true,
    "outDir": "./assets/js/dist",
    "rootDir": "./assets/js"
  },
  "include": ["assets/js/**/*"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "public", "resources"]
}

Hugo Pipeline Integration

# config/_default/config.yaml
build:
  useResourceCacheWhen: fallback
  writeStats: true

params:
  assets:
    typescript:
      enabled: true
      sourceMap: true
      minify: production

2. Component Migration Pattern

TypeScript Component Template

// components/example-component/example-component.ts
interface ExampleComponentConfig {
  apiEndpoint?: string;
  refreshInterval?: number;
  onUpdate?: (data: unknown) => void;
}

interface ExampleComponentElements {
  root: HTMLElement;
  trigger?: HTMLButtonElement;
  content?: HTMLDivElement;
}

export class ExampleComponent {
  private config: Required<ExampleComponentConfig>;
  private elements: ExampleComponentElements;
  private state: Map<string, unknown> = new Map();

  constructor(element: HTMLElement, config: ExampleComponentConfig = {}) {
    this.elements = { root: element };
    this.config = this.mergeConfig(config);
    this.init();
  }

  private mergeConfig(config: ExampleComponentConfig): Required<ExampleComponentConfig> {
    return {
      apiEndpoint: config.apiEndpoint ?? '/api/default',
      refreshInterval: config.refreshInterval ?? 5000,
      onUpdate: config.onUpdate ?? (() => {})
    };
  }

  private init(): void {
    this.cacheElements();
    this.bindEvents();
    this.render();
  }

  private cacheElements(): void {
    this.elements.trigger = this.elements.root.querySelector('[data-trigger]') ?? undefined;
    this.elements.content = this.elements.root.querySelector('[data-content]') ?? undefined;
  }

  private bindEvents(): void {
    this.elements.trigger?.addEventListener('click', this.handleClick.bind(this));
  }

  private handleClick(event: MouseEvent): void {
    event.preventDefault();
    this.updateContent();
  }

  private async updateContent(): Promise<void> {
    // Implementation
  }

  private render(): void {
    // Implementation
  }

  public destroy(): void {
    this.elements.trigger?.removeEventListener('click', this.handleClick.bind(this));
    this.state.clear();
  }
}

// Register with component registry
import { registerComponent } from '@utils/component-registry';
registerComponent('example-component', ExampleComponent);

Migration Strategy for Existing Components

// Step 1: Add type definitions alongside existing JS
// types/components.d.ts
declare module '@components/url-select' {
  export class UrlSelect {
    constructor(element: HTMLElement);
    destroy(): void;
  }
}

// Step 2: Create wrapper with types
// components/url-select/url-select.ts
import { UrlSelect as UrlSelectJS } from './url-select.js';

export interface UrlSelectConfig {
  storageKey?: string;
  defaultUrl?: string;
}

export class UrlSelect extends UrlSelectJS {
  constructor(element: HTMLElement, config?: UrlSelectConfig) {
    super(element, config);
  }
}

// Step 3: Gradually migrate internals to TypeScript

3. Hugo Asset Pipeline Configuration

TypeScript Processing with Hugo Pipes

// assets/js/main.ts (entry point)
import { ComponentRegistry } from './utils/component-registry';
import './components/index'; // Auto-register all components

// Initialize on DOM ready
if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', ComponentRegistry.initializeAll);
} else {
  ComponentRegistry.initializeAll();
}

// Hugo template integration
{{ $opts := dict "targetPath" "js/main.js" "minify" (eq hugo.Environment "production") }}
{{ $ts := resources.Get "js/main.ts" | js.Build $opts }}
{{ if eq hugo.Environment "development" }}
  <script src="{{ $ts.RelPermalink }}" defer></script>
{{ else }}
  {{ $ts = $ts | fingerprint }}
  <script src="{{ $ts.RelPermalink }}" integrity="{{ $ts.Data.Integrity }}" defer></script>
{{ end }}

Build Performance Optimization

// utils/lazy-loader.ts
export class LazyLoader {
  private static cache = new Map<string, Promise<any>>();

  static async loadComponent(name: string): Promise<any> {
    if (!this.cache.has(name)) {
      this.cache.set(name,
        import(/* webpackChunkName: "[request]" */ `@components/${name}/${name}`)
      );
    }
    return this.cache.get(name);
  }
}

// Usage in component registry
async function initializeComponent(element: HTMLElement): Promise<void> {
  const componentName = element.dataset.component;
  if (!componentName) return;

  const module = await LazyLoader.loadComponent(componentName);
  const Component = module.default || module[componentName];
  new Component(element);
}

4. Type Definitions for Hugo Context

// types/hugo.d.ts
interface HugoPage {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  permalink: string;
  section: string;
  params: Record<string, unknown>;
}

interface HugoSite {
  baseURL: string;
  languageCode: string;
  params: {
    influxdb_urls: Array<{
      url: string;
      name: string;
      cloud?: boolean;
    }>;
  };
}

declare global {
  interface Window {
    Hugo: {
      page: HugoPage;
      site: HugoSite;
    };
    docsData: {
      page: HugoPage;
      site: HugoSite;
    };
  }
}

export {};

5. Testing Integration

Cypress with TypeScript

// cypress/support/commands.ts
Cypress.Commands.add('initComponent', (componentName: string, config?: Record<string, unknown>) => {
  cy.window().then((win) => {
    const element = win.document.querySelector(`[data-component="${componentName}"]`);
    if (element) {
      // Initialize component with TypeScript
      const event = new CustomEvent('component:init', { detail: config });
      element.dispatchEvent(event);
    }
  });
});

// cypress/support/index.d.ts
declare namespace Cypress {
  interface Chainable {
    initComponent(componentName: string, config?: Record<string, unknown>): Chainable<void>;
  }
}

  "scripts": {
    "ts:check": "tsc --noEmit",
    "ts:build": "tsc",
    "ts:watch": "tsc --watch",

Best Practices

TypeScript Conventions

• Use strict mode from the start
• Prefer interfaces over type aliases for objects
• Use const assertions for literal types
• Implement proper error boundaries
• Use discriminated unions for state management

Hugo Integration

• Leverage Hugo's build stats for optimization
• Use resource bundling for related assets
• Implement proper cache busting
• Utilize Hugo's minification in production
• Keep source maps in development only

Component Guidelines

• One component per file
• Co-locate types with implementation
• Use composition over inheritance
• Implement cleanup in destroy methods
• Follow single responsibility principle

Performance Considerations

• Use dynamic imports for large components
• Implement intersection observer for lazy loading
• Minimize bundle size with tree shaking
• Use TypeScript's const enum for better optimization
• Leverage browser caching strategies

Debugging Strategies

Development Tools

// utils/debug.ts
export const debug = {
  log: (component: string, message: string, data?: unknown): void => {
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
      console.log(`[${component}]`, message, data);
    }
  },

  time: (label: string): void => {
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
      console.time(label);
    }
  },

  timeEnd: (label: string): void => {
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
      console.timeEnd(label);
    }
  }
};

Source Maps Configuration

// hugo.config.js for development
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [{
      test: /\.ts$/,
      use: {
        loader: 'ts-loader',
        options: {
          compilerOptions: {
            sourceMap: true
          }
        }
      }
    }]
  },
  devtool: 'inline-source-map'
};

Common Patterns

State Management

// utils/state-manager.ts
export class StateManager<T extends Record<string, unknown>> {
  private state: T;
  private listeners: Set<(state: T) => void> = new Set();

  constructor(initialState: T) {
    this.state = { ...initialState };
  }

  get current(): Readonly<T> {
    return Object.freeze({ ...this.state });
  }

  update(updates: Partial<T>): void {
    this.state = { ...this.state, ...updates };
    this.notify();
  }

  subscribe(listener: (state: T) => void): () => void {
    this.listeners.add(listener);
    return () => this.listeners.delete(listener);
  }

  private notify(): void {
    this.listeners.forEach(listener => listener(this.current));
  }
}

API Service Pattern

// services/base-service.ts
export abstract class BaseService {
  protected baseURL: string;
  protected headers: HeadersInit;

  constructor(baseURL: string = '') {
    this.baseURL = baseURL;
    this.headers = {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    };
  }

  protected async request<T>(
    endpoint: string,
    options: RequestInit = {}
  ): Promise<T> {
    const url = `${this.baseURL}${endpoint}`;
    const config: RequestInit = {
      ...options,
      headers: { ...this.headers, ...options.headers }
    };

    const response = await fetch(url, config);

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    return response.json();
  }
}
