Convert TextInput component to TypeScript

This PR converts src/components/form-elements/text-input from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted TextInput.js to TextInput.tsx with exported TextInputProps interface
  • Introduced exported TextInputValidationError for custom validation return values
  • Converted index.js to index.ts, re-exporting the component and its types
  • Converted TextInput.stories.js to TextInput.stories.tsx
  • Converted __tests__/TextInput.test.js to TextInput.test.tsx
  • Created .js.flow files for backward compatibility

Contract

  • Declared Flow props contract preserved (requiredness, accepted values, defaults, exports)

Testing

  • Ran tests for src/components/form-elements/text-input; all 21 pass
  • yarn lint:ts and flow check pass

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a typed TextInput component with configurable labels, tooltips, focus management, loading, read-only, disabled, and accessibility options.
    • Added native and custom validation with localized error messages, custom validity handling, and revalidation while editing or on blur.
    • Added public exports for the component, props, and validation-error types.
  • Tests

    • Updated TextInput tests for TypeScript compatibility and modern assertion patterns.

Some valid callbacks fail type checking, and Flow consumers cannot import the promised validation type. Both compatibility issues are localized and straightforward to fix.

Narrow the union with the in operator instead of double casts.

'valid' in error narrows the union without assertions. The current casts bypass the checker, so a future change to either union member stays undetected.

Prefer @ts-expect-error over @ts-ignore for the Flow imports.

@ts-expect-error fails the build when the imported module gains types. @ts-ignore stays silent forever and hides later regressions. Both messages and FormInput become any, so the mapping from messages.*() to TextInputValidationError at Lines 126-138 is unchecked.

Correct the stale validation doc comment.

The comment states that validation returns an error string, or a Promise for server validation. The implementation reads error.code at Line 159 and error.message at Line 197, so it expects an object with code and message. It never awaits the result. Align this comment with the TS doc comment in TextInput.tsx Line 50.

Export TextInputValidationError from the Flow declaration and barrel.

TextInput.js.flow keeps the type private, so direct Flow imports fail. index.js.flow exports only the default, so package-level Flow imports cannot access the type.

Include false in both validation callback return types. The TextInput documentation states that validation returns an error when invalid or a falsy value when valid. The runtime checks the callback result by truthiness and therefore accepts false as a successful validation result. The TypeScript and Flow declarations exclude false, so existing callbacks that return false fail type checking.

  • src/components/form-elements/text-input/TextInput.tsx#L49-L49: include false in the return type.
