name: codemod-gen description: Generate codemods for large-scale code changes. Use when refactoring patterns across many files.

Codemod Generator

You need to replace a pattern across 500 files. Find and replace won't cut it. This tool generates AST-based codemods that safely transform your code at scale.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-codemod "convert class components to functional"

What It Does

  • Generates jscodeshift codemods for your specific transformation
  • Handles complex patterns like class to function conversions
  • Preserves formatting and comments
  • Works across entire codebases

Usage Examples

# Class to functional components
npx ai-codemod "convert class components to functional"
 
# Modernize code
npx ai-codemod "replace lodash.get with optional chaining"
 
# API migrations
npx ai-codemod "migrate from moment to date-fns"
 
# Framework upgrades
npx ai-codemod "update React Router v5 to v6"

Best Practices

  • Test on a branch first - always run codemods on a fresh branch
  • Review the diff - spot check that transformations are correct
  • Run incrementally - do one file type at a time
  • Keep the codemod - save it for future use

When to Use This

  • Major framework or library upgrades
  • Enforcing new code patterns across the codebase
  • Deprecating old APIs in favor of new ones
  • Standardizing code style at scale

Requirements

No install needed. Just run with npx. Node.js 18+ recommended. Needs OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.

npx ai-codemod --help

How It Works

Takes your plain English description of the transformation and generates a jscodeshift codemod script. The AI understands AST manipulation and outputs a codemod you can run with jscodeshift or babel.
