Refactor Ts

npx refactor-ts move-file src/game/Player.ts src/game/entities/Player.ts

2. Move Symbol (refactor-ts move-symbol)

Moves a symbol from one file to another, updating imports and copying dependencies.

npx refactor-ts move-symbol <file> <symbol> <destination>

Supported symbols: classes, functions, variables, interfaces, enums, type aliases

Example:

npx refactor-ts move-symbol src/game/Player.ts PlayerState src/game/state/PlayerState.ts

3. Rename Symbol (refactor-ts move-symbol)

Renames a symbol and updates all references across the codebase. This uses the same move-symbol command - when the destination is a name rather than a file path, it performs a rename.

npx refactor-ts move-symbol <file> <oldName> <newName>

Supported symbols: classes, functions, variables, interfaces, enums, type aliases

Example:

npx refactor-ts move-symbol src/game/Player.ts Player GamePlayer

Process

1. Identify the operation type based on what the user wants to do
2. Determine the arguments needed for the command
3. Run the appropriate command with the correct arguments
4. Verify the changes by checking that TypeScript compiles without errors

Common Patterns

• Extracting a class to its own file: Use move-symbol to move the class, which will create the destination file if needed
• Reorganizing into subdirectories: Use move-file to relocate files while keeping imports valid
• Renaming for consistency: Use move-symbol with a new name (not a file path) to rename throughout the codebase
