Convert SearchForm component to TypeScript

This PR converts src/components/search-form from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted SearchForm.js to SearchForm.tsx with exported SearchFormProps interface
  • Converted index.js to index.ts, re-exporting the component and its types
  • Converted __tests__/SearchForm.test.js to SearchForm.test.tsx
  • Created .js.flow files for backward compatibility
  • Removed dead test setup

Contract

  • Declared Flow props contract and runtime behavior preserved

Testing

  • SearchForm tests: all 22 pass
  • yarn lint:ts and flow check pass
  • Component ESLint and SCSS lint pass
  • Storybook compiled and served successfully

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a configurable, internationalized search form.
    • Supports controlled and uncontrolled input, query parameters, loading states, clear actions, and submit/change callbacks.
    • Added ref forwarding for programmatic access to the form and input.
    • Exposed the search form and its prop types for reuse across the application.
  • Tests

    • Updated coverage for input behavior, query parameters, refs, and internationalized usage.

SearchForm migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed SearchForm implementation
src/components/search-form/SearchForm.tsx
Defines typed props and implements state handling, callbacks, refs, internationalized rendering, hidden query fields, loading state, clear actions, and SearchActions integration.
Flow compatibility and public exports
src/components/search-form/SearchForm.js.flow, src/components/search-form/index.js.flow, src/components/search-form/index.ts
Adds the Flow implementation, ref-forwarding exports, default export, and SearchFormProps type export.
Typed SearchForm test updates
src/components/search-form/__tests__/SearchForm.test.tsx
Updates component setup, instance access, ref fixtures, query values, and matcher-based assertions for the typed implementation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to dbe9f

The migration preserves runtime behavior, but downstream TypeScript and Flow consumers may encounter compatibility or type-checking issues until the public config type and Flow declaration surface are aligned. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a typed search trail,
Through clear and loading states I sail.
Refs hop forward, queries hide,
SearchActions run beside.
Flow and TypeScript share the pail!

Export a props type that matches the exported component.

SearchFormProps requires intl and requires action, method, name, queryParams, and useClearButton. The default export is typed as React.ForwardRefExoticComponent over SearchFormConfig, which omits intl and makes the default props optional. A consumer that annotates props with SearchFormProps cannot pass them to <SearchForm /> without extra type work.

Export the public config type as well, so consumers can describe the component's accepted props.

♻️ Proposed change

In src/components/search-form/SearchForm.tsx, export the config type:

-type SearchFormConfig = Omit<SearchFormProps, keyof SearchFormDefaultProps | 'intl'> & Partial<SearchFormDefaultProps>;
+export type SearchFormConfig = Omit<SearchFormProps, keyof SearchFormDefaultProps | 'intl'> &
+    Partial<SearchFormDefaultProps>;

Then re-export it from the barrel:

 export { default } from './SearchForm';
-export type { SearchFormProps } from './SearchForm';
+export type { SearchFormConfig, SearchFormProps } from './SearchForm';

Derive the instance type from the component class instead of re-declaring it.

SearchFormInstance restates onChangeHandler, onClearHandler, searchInput, and setInputRef. The declared onChangeHandler signature is (event: { target: { value: string | null } }) => void, but the implementation signature is (event: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => void. The shim therefore does not track the real contract. If a handler signature changes in SearchForm.tsx, these tests still compile.

Export SearchFormBase from SearchForm.tsx and type the helper as InstanceType<typeof SearchFormBase>. The tests then fail at compile time when the instance API changes.

♻️ Proposed change

In src/components/search-form/SearchForm.tsx:

-class SearchFormBase extends React.Component<SearchFormProps, SearchFormState> {
+export class SearchFormBase extends React.Component<SearchFormProps, SearchFormState> {

In the test file:

-interface SearchFormInstance extends React.Component<SearchFormProps, { isEmpty: boolean }> {
-    onChangeHandler: (event: { target: { value: string | null } }) => void;
-    onClearHandler: (event?: React.SyntheticEvent<HTMLButtonElement>) => void;
-    searchInput: HTMLInputElement | null;
-    setInputRef: (element: HTMLInputElement | null) => void;
-}
+type SearchFormInstance = InstanceType<typeof SearchFormBase>;

Make SearchForm.js.flow declaration-only.

copy:flow publishes .js.flow files as the Flow surface. Keep the component implementation only in SearchForm.tsx. Preserve SearchFormBaseIntl and declare the default ref-forwarding export with the matching props and ref types.
