Summary

This pull request represents a significant enhancement to the Texty component by migrating its codebase to TypeScript. This migration, coupled with a comprehensive refactor, aims to improve the component's type safety, readability, and maintainability. The refactor includes detailed commenting, optimization of React hooks, and streamlined event handling, all while preserving the original styling approach.

Key Changes

1. Migration to TypeScript:

   • The most notable change in this pull request is the migration of the Texty component from JavaScript to TypeScript. This migration enhances the component's code by introducing type safety, which helps in catching errors at compile time, improving the development workflow, and ensuring more robust code.

2. Enhanced Documentation with TypeScript:

   • With the migration to TypeScript, each property within the TextyProps interface now includes detailed TypeScript comments. These comments not only clarify the purpose and expected type of each prop but also leverage TypeScript's type-checking features to enforce proper usage of the component's API.

3. Optimization of React Hooks:

   • The useEffect hook managing event listeners for scroll events has been optimized for better performance and readability. The cleanup function now more effectively removes event listeners, addressing potential memory leaks and ensuring cleaner code.

4. Streamlined Event Handling:

   • Event handlers for mouse enter and leave events have been refined to ensure tooltips are shown and hidden as expected. The logic for preventing event propagation during tooltip interactions has been simplified, contributing to the component's enhanced usability.

5. General Code Clean-up:

   • The refactor includes general code clean-up activities such as removing unused variables, ensuring consistent formatting, and simplifying complex expressions where possible. These changes contribute to the overall maintainability of the code and leverage TypeScript's capabilities for cleaner, more expressive code.

Testing and Compatibility

• Comprehensive testing has been conducted to ensure that the TypeScript-refactored Texty component behaves as expected across all supported browsers and frameworks.
• The changes are backward compatible, ensuring that existing implementations of the Texty component will not be affected by the migration to TypeScript.

Conclusion

The migration of the Texty component to TypeScript, combined with a thorough refactor, significantly enhances its usability, maintainability, and type safety. This pull request aims to provide a better developer experience by leveraging TypeScript's features to ensure that Texty remains a reliable and easy-to-use solution for displaying tooltips.
