This guide helps you migrate from the original codebase to the refactored version. The refactored code provides:
- ✅ Strong TypeScript typing - Better IDE support and compile-time error checking
- ✅ Centralized utilities - Shared logger, error handling, and constants
- ✅ Better error handling - Custom error classes with context
- ✅ Reduced duplication - Reusable transaction polling and validation
- ✅ Improved maintainability - Smaller, focused functions with clear responsibilities
- ✅ Bug fixes - Fixed undefined variable bugs and logic errors
Both old and refactored files coexist. Migrate scripts one at a time:
- Keep using original files (
*.ts) - New scripts use refactored versions (
*.refactored.ts) - Migrate existing scripts as needed
- Once all migrated, replace original files
Replace all original files at once (riskier):
- Backup current codebase
- Replace original files with refactored versions
- Update all import statements
- Test thoroughly

# Check TypeScript compilation
npx tsc --noEmit
# Should show no errors (or only existing errors)// Always test with small amounts on testnet
const transferAmount = 0.001; // Small test amount
const assetId = "ETH_TEST3"; // Use testnet# Run old version
ts-node old_script.ts > old_output.log 2>&1
# Run new version
ts-node new_script.ts > new_output.log 2>&1
# Compare (transaction IDs will differ, but flow should be similar)
diff old_output.log new_output.logSolution: Ensure TypeScript can resolve the shared module:
// tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"../shared/*": ["shared/*"]
}
}
}Or use relative imports:
import { Logger } from "../shared/logger";Solution: Update to use typed interfaces:
// Old
const params = { vaultId: 0, amount: 1 };
// New
import { TransferParams } from "../shared/types";
const params: TransferParams = {
vaultAccountId: "0",
amount: 1,
// ... other required fields
};Solution: Update config loading:
// Old
const { apiSecret, apiKey } = require('./config');
// New
import { loadConfig } from '../shared/config';

- Read the refactored files - Understand the new structure
- Start with one script - Migrate a simple script first
- Test thoroughly - Use testnet and small amounts
- Gradual rollout - Migrate one script at a time
- Update documentation - Document any custom patterns
Check the refactored source files for:
- Detailed JSDoc comments on all public functions
- Usage examples in function documentation
- Type definitions in
shared/types.ts
The refactored code is designed to be self-documenting!
