Integrate TypeScript

[younes-dro]

Integrate TypeScript into the existing React WordPress boilerplate to improve code quality, developer experience, and scalability for complex projects.

Tasks:

1. Install Dependencies:

Add TypeScript, Babel TypeScript preset, and React type definitions (typescript, @babel/preset-typescript, @types/react, @types/react-dom).

2. Update Webpack Configuration:

Modify webpack.config.js to support .ts and .tsx files.
Add @babel/preset-typescript to Babel configuration.

3. Add TypeScript Configuration:

Create a tsconfig.json file with appropriate TypeScript settings for React and ES6+.

4. Rename Files:

Rename .js and .jsx files to .ts and .tsx.
Update imports and add type annotations where applicable.

5. Test Compatibility:

Ensure existing features (e.g., dynamic component loading, Context API, and config management) work seamlessly with TypeScript.

6. Documentation:

Update the README file to include instructions for setting up TypeScript and guidelines for using it in the boilerplate.
