Convert SlideCarousel components to TypeScript

This PR converts src/components/slide-carousel from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted all carousel components to .tsx with exported, documented props interfaces
  • Converted index.js to index.ts, preserving runtime exports and exporting public types
  • Converted seven test files to .test.tsx
  • Created .js.flow files for backward compatibility
  • Removed stale undeclared props and dead test setup

Contract

  • Declared Flow props contract and runtime behavior are preserved

Testing

  • Carousel tests: 45 passed across 7 suites
  • yarn lint, yarn lint:ts, and yarn flow check pass
  • Storybook production build completed successfully

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a reusable slide carousel with configurable titles, content height, styling, and initial slide selection.
    • Added slide panels and navigation controls with selection state and generated accessibility relationships.
    • Added keyboard navigation using left and right arrow keys, including wraparound behavior and focus management.
    • Added support for custom slide content, button interactions, and forwarded HTML properties.
  • Tests

    • Expanded and updated coverage for carousel rendering, selection, IDs, accessibility, and keyboard navigation.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds TypeScript implementations for the slide-carousel components while retaining Flow declarations. It adds typed carousel state, accessible slide navigation, keyboard handling, tests, and public exports for Slide and SlideCarousel.

Adds typed header, slide, and tab-button components. Components render carousel markup, merge classes, forward properties, and expose selection and ref behavior.
Panel and navigator interactions
src/components/slide-carousel/SlideNavigator.*, src/components/slide-carousel/SlidePanels.*, src/components/slide-carousel/__tests__/SlideNavigator.test.tsx, src/components/slide-carousel/__tests__/SlidePanels.test.tsx
Adds typed panel and navigator components with ARIA relationships, focus management, cyclic arrow-key navigation, selection callbacks, and updated assertions.
Carousel composition and state
src/components/slide-carousel/SlideCarousel.*, src/components/slide-carousel/SlideCarouselPrimitive.*, src/components/slide-carousel/__tests__/SlideCarousel.test.tsx, src/components/slide-carousel/__tests__/SlideCarouselPrimitive.test.tsx, src/components/slide-carousel/index.*
Adds typed carousel state and composition, bounds selected indexes, generates IDs, composes headers, panels, and navigation, updates tests, and exports components with prop types.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 18867

The migration preserves normal carousel behavior, but an empty carousel can currently emit an invalid selection value and the public props type rejects a callback that runtime behavior supports omitting. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for these bounded issues.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with tabs in a row,
Arrow keys make the slide panels go.
Typed props hop cleanly through the display,
IDs guide each button’s way.
“Merge,” I whisper, and wiggle my nose.

Make onSelection optional in SlideCarouselPrimitiveProps.

The component defaults an omitted onSelection prop to noop, but the exported interface requires it. The public type should match this supported runtime behavior.

Prevent invalid selection for a childless carousel.

When there are no slides, both handlers calculate modulo zero and call the selection callback with NaN. Return before calculating the next index when the option count is zero.

  • src/components/slide-carousel/SlidePanels.tsx#L27-L50: return when React.Children.count(children) === 0.
  • src/components/slide-carousel/SlideNavigator.tsx#L30-L49: return when numOptions === 0.
