Migrate AngularJS to React — automatically
AngularJS 1.x has been officially unsupported since 2022, and every year on it adds security exposure and hiring pain. But its two-way binding, $scope inheritance, and directive lifecycle make manual migration notoriously treacherous — behavior hides in digest-cycle ordering.
CodeShift converts AngularJS applications to React 18 + TypeScript automatically. The engine maps modules, controllers, services, and directives, then rewrites them as function components with hooks and a predictable unidirectional data flow. Services become typed modules, directives become components, and $scope state becomes explicit props and state. Each file is verified for behavior parity and repaired automatically if verification fails.

How the migration engine works
Analyze
The whole repository is scanned: framework and version detected, every dependency mapped, risks flagged before a line is touched.
Plan
A dependency-aware migration plan orders files leaves-first, so everything a file imports is migrated before the file itself.
Rewrite
Each file is restructured into modern, idiomatic architecture — streamed live, with already-migrated symbols kept consistent across files.
Verify
Every file passes structural checks and an adversarial behavior-parity review; failures are repaired automatically before you see them.
AngularJS to React: frequently asked questions
Why migrate off AngularJS now?+
AngularJS reached end-of-life in January 2022 — no security patches, shrinking plugin ecosystem, and increasingly hard hiring. Every year of delay raises both the risk and the eventual migration cost.
Can AngularJS directives be converted to React components?+
Yes. CodeShift analyzes each directive's template, scope bindings, and link/controller logic and rewrites it as a typed React component with equivalent behavior, verified against the original.
What happens to $scope and two-way binding?+
Implicit $scope state becomes explicit React state and props with unidirectional flow. The engine traces where each scope value is read and written so nothing silently disappears in the rewrite.
Do I have to migrate everything at once?+
No — you choose the scope of each run. Many teams migrate a feature area at a time; the dependency-aware ordering keeps each batch internally consistent.
