In this session, we dive into the transformative power of codemod tools like jscodeshift to automate the tedious aspects of refactoring, easing the journey from legacy code to modern standards. We'll explore how to craft custom codemods tailored to your codebase's nuances, enabling seamless upgrades and refactoring.

Attendees will learn:

- The fundamentals of codemod tools in the javascript ecosystem and how they streamline refactoring and updating processes.
- Case studies of using popular codemod libraries provided by frameworks like React and Next.js for version upgrades. Demonstration how we used jscodeshift to upgrade a legacy react-native v0.64 codebase
- Leveraging AI to generate complex codemod transforms with tools like codemod.com

Discover how harnessing codemod tools and AI can elevate your development workflow, making complex refactoring and updates more manageable and less error-prone. Whether you're grappling with a sprawling legacy codebase or planning a strategic upgrade, this session equips you with the tools and insights to refactor faster and upgrade smarter in React and React Native projects.
