    Remove the types, keep the formatting

  • [detype](https://github.com/cyco130/detype) is a command line tool and library to remove type annotations and other TypeScript specific syntax constructs and output vanilla JavaScript **without altering the source formatting** too much. It supports `.ts`, `.tsx`, as well as `.vue` extensions. The output is very close to hand-written JavaScript, especially if you were already using Prettier for formatting.

  • sucrase

    Super-fast alternative to Babel for when you can target modern JS runtimes

  • Hardly usable. Sucrase comes close but it doesn't remove comments attached to TS-only constructs (I collapsed repeated empty lines):

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
