# WeChat Mini Program → uni-app + Vue3 + TypeScript Conversion
Convert a native WeChat Mini Program project into a complete, runnable uni-app + Vue3 + TypeScript project.
## Triggers
Triggers when user mentions converting, migrating, or porting a WeChat miniprogram / 微信小程序 to uni-app, or provides a miniprogram project path and asks to transform it. Also triggers for related tasks like analyzing a miniprogram project structure for conversion,or generating uni-app code from WXML/WXSS/JS source files.
## Conversion Flow
```
1. Analyze source project
↓
2. Initialize uni-app project skeleton (TypeScript)
↓
3. Convert config (app.json → pages.json + manifest.json)
↓
4. Convert pages (wxml/js/wxss → Vue3 SFC, <script setup lang="ts">)
↓
5. Convert components (Component() → Vue3 <script setup lang="ts">)
↓
6. Convert utils & API calls (wx.* → uni.*, .js → .ts)
↓
7. Finalize & verify
```
**Before starting**, ask the user:
- Source project root path
- Target output directory (default: `./output-uni-app` or adjacent to source)
- Whether to keep WeChat-only features (conditional compilation) or drop them
---
## Step 1: Analyze Source Project
Read these files to understand the project:
1. **`app.json`** — pages list, subPackages, tabBar, window config, globalStyle, usingComponents
2. **`project.config.json`** — appid, compile settings (reference only)
3. **`package.json`** (if exists) — npm dependencies, identify which can carry over
4. **All page directories** under `pages/` — each needs 1 .wxml + 1 .js + 1 .wxss (1 .json optional)
5. **All component directories** under `components/` or custom paths
6. **`utils/`** and any custom JS modules (utils, api wrappers, configs)
7. **`app.js`** — global logic, globalData, onLaunch/onShow lifecycle
8. **`app.wxss`** — global styles
**Output a structured catalog:**
```
Pages (N): pages/index/index, pages/detail/detail, ...
Components (M): components/star/star, components/list-item/list-item, ...
Utils (K): utils/request.js, utils/util.js, utils/config.js, ...
SubPackages (optional): pkgA/pages/...
TabBar: yes/no, N tabs
Dependencies: [list from package.json]
Cloud: yes/no (wx.cloud usage detected)
Custom processing (WXS, plugins, workers): [list]
```
This catalog drives all subsequent steps.
---
## Step 2: Initialize uni-app Project Skeleton (TypeScript)
Create an empty uni-app project with the standard structure:
```
<output-dir>/
├── pages/
├── components/
├── utils/
├── types/
│ └── global.d.ts
├── static/
│ └── images/
├── App.vue
├── main.ts
├── manifest.json
├── pages.json
├── tsconfig.json
└── uni.scss
```
### tsconfig.json
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "esnext",
"module": "esnext",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"strict": true,
"jsx": "preserve",
"sourceMap": true,
"resolveJsonModule": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"lib": ["esnext", "dom"],
"types": ["@dcloudio/types"],
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./*"]
},
"skipLibCheck": true
},
"include": [
"*.vue",
"**/*.ts",
"**/*.tsx",
"**/*.vue"
],
"exclude": ["node_modules", "unpackage", "dist"]
}
```
### types/global.d.ts
```ts
/// <reference types="@dcloudio/types" />
declare module '*.vue' {
import { DefineComponent } from 'vue'
const component: DefineComponent<{}, {}, any>
export default component
}
// Extend App global properties
declare module '@vue/runtime-core' {
interface ComponentCustomProperties {
$globalData: Record<string, any>
}
}
export {}
```
### App.vue
```vue
<script lang="ts">
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
export default defineComponent({
onLaunch() {
console.log('App Launch')
},
onShow() {
console.log('App Show')
},
onHide() {
console.log('App Hide')
}
})
</script>
<style>
/* Global styles from original app.wxss go here */
</style>
```
### main.ts
```ts
import { createSSRApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
export function createApp() {
const app = createSSRApp(App)
return { app }
}
```
### uni.scss
```scss
/* uni-app global style variables */
@import '@/uni.scss';
```
### manifest.json
Generate minimal manifest with WeChat mini program appid from `project.config.json`:
```json
{
"name": "",
"appid": "",
"description": "",
"versionName": "1.0.0",
"versionCode": "100",
"transformPx": false,
"mp-weixin": {
"appid": "<from-project.config.json>",
"setting": {
"urlCheck": false
},
"usingComponents": true
}
}
```
---
## Step 3: Convert Configuration Files
### 3.1 app.json → pages.json
Map each field using the reference table in [mappings.md](references/mappings.md#1-配置文件映射-appjson--pagesjsonmanifestjson).
**Key rules:**
- `pages` array: first entry is the home page. Convert path `pages/index/index` to `pages/index/index`.
- `subPackages`: preserve structure, prefix paths correctly.
- `window` → `globalStyle`: flatten all `window.*` fields into `globalStyle.*`.
- `tabBar`: copy verbatim (uni-app compatible). Append `.selectedIconPath` entries if missing.
- **Per-page config**: each page's `.json` file → `pages[n].style`. If page has `usingComponents`, map to page-level component registration.
### 3.2 app.js → App.vue
- `App({ onLaunch, onShow, onHide, globalData, ... })` → `App.vue <script lang="ts">` with equivalent lifecycle methods using `defineComponent`.
- `globalData` → typed reactive object exported from a shared module `utils/globalData.ts`, or use `getApp().globalData`.
- Any initial API calls in `onLaunch` carry over.
### 3.3 app.wxss → App.vue `<style>`
- Copy content into `App.vue` `<style>` block (no scoped).
- Convert WXSS-only syntax:
- Remove `@import` statements, convert to CSS `@import` in `<style>`.
- Keep `rpx` as-is (uni-app supports it).
---
## Step 4: Convert Pages (WXML/JS/WXSS → Vue SFC + TypeScript)
For each page `pages/foo/foo.{wxml,js,wxss,json}`:
### 4.1 Create `pages/foo/foo.vue`
Template structure:
```vue
<template>
<view class="page-foo">
<!-- converted WXML content -->
</view>
</template>
<script setup lang="ts">
// converted JS content, fully typed
</script>
<style scoped>
/* converted WXSS content */
</style>
```
### 4.2 WXML → `<template>`
Use mappings from [mappings.md](references/mappings.md#3-wxml--vue-template-语法映射):
- `wx:if` → `v-if`; `wx:else` → `v-else`; `wx:elif` → `v-else-if`
- `wx:for="{{list}}"` → `v-for="(item, index) in list"`; `wx:key="id"` → `:key="item.id"`
- `bind:tap="fn"` → `@tap="fn"`; `catch:tap="fn"` → `@tap.stop="fn"`
- `hidden="{{v}}"` → **`v-show="!v"`** (semantic inversion)
- `data-xxx="{{v}}"` → `:data-xxx="v"` or `data-xxx="v"` for static strings
- `<block>` → `<template>` or remove (Vue fragment behavior)
- `{{ }}` interpolation → keep as `{{ }}` (same)
- `import src` / `include src` → Vue component imports
### 4.3 JS → `<script setup lang="ts">`
Convert `Page({ data, onLoad, methods, ... })`:
```js
// Source (page.js) — JavaScript, untyped:
Page({
data: {
count: 0,
list: [],
userInfo: null,
loading: false
},
onLoad(options) {
this.fetchData()
},
onShow() { /* ... */ },
onPullDownRefresh() {
this.fetchData()
},
increment() {
this.setData({ count: this.data.count + 1 })
},
fetchData() {
this.setData({ loading: true })
wx.request({
url: 'https://api.example.com/list',
success: (res) => {
this.setData({ list: res.data, loading: false })
}
})
}
})
```
```vue
<!-- Target (page.vue) — TypeScript -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref, type Ref } from 'vue'
// --- Type definitions ---
interface ListItem {
id: number
title: string
coverUrl: string
createdAt: string
}
interface UserInfo {
nickName: string
avatarUrl: string
}
// --- Reactive state (typed) ---
const count = ref<number>(0)
const list = ref<ListItem[]>([])
const userInfo = ref<UserInfo | null>(null)
const loading = ref<boolean>(false)
// --- Lifecycle ---
onLoad((options?: AnyObject) => {
fetchData()
})
onShow(() => {
// ...
})
onPullDownRefresh(() => {
fetchData()
})
// --- Methods ---
const increment = (): void => {
count.value++
}
const fetchData = async (): Promise<void> => {
loading.value = true
try {
const res = await uni.request<ListItem[]>({
url: 'https://api.example.com/list'
})
list.value = res.data as ListItem[]
} catch (err) {
uni.showToast({ title: '加载失败', icon: 'none' })
console.error('fetchData error:', err)
} finally {
loading.value = false
uni.stopPullDownRefresh()
}
}
</script>
```
**Rules:**
- `data` fields → `ref<T>(initialValue)` with explicit generic types
- `this.setData({ k: v })` → direct assignment `data.value = v` (Vue reactivity handles updates)
- `this.data.k` → `data.value`
- Lifecycle hooks: import from `@dcloudio/uni-app` — `onLoad`, `onShow`, `onReady`, `onHide`, `onUnload`, `onPullDownRefresh`, `onReachBottom`, `onPageScroll`, `onShareAppMessage`, `onShareTimeline`
- Callbacks → `async` functions with `Promise<T>` return types
- Define interfaces/types at the top of `<script setup>` for all data structures
- `onShareAppMessage` returns `{ title, path, imageUrl }` (same format)
### 4.4 WXSS → `<style scoped>`
- Copy content into `<style scoped>` block.
- Change `lang` to `scss` if original uses SCSS-style nesting.
- `rpx` stays as-is.
- Convert `@import "xxx.wxss"` to `@import "xxx.css"` or drop (styles are scoped per-component).
### 4.5 Page-level JSON → pages.json per-page style
If a page has `foo.json` with `{ navigationBarTitleText, usingComponents, ... }`, migrate:
- `navigationBarTitleText` etc. → `pages.json` > `pages[n].style`
- `usingComponents` → page-level component registration (or rely on easycom)
---
## Step 5: Convert Components (Component() → Vue3 SFC + TypeScript)
For each component `components/foo/foo.{wxml,js,wxss,json}`:
### 5.1 Component JS → `<script setup lang="ts">`
```js
// Source — JavaScript Component():
Component({
properties: {
title: String,
count: { type: Number, value: 0 },
list: { type: Array, value: [] }
},
data: {
internalState: false,
expanded: false
},
methods: {
onTap() {
this.setData({ internalState: true })
this.triggerEvent('change', { value: 1 })
},
toggleExpand() {
this.setData({ expanded: !this.data.expanded })
}
},
observers: {
'count'(val) {
this.handleCountChange(val)
}
},
lifetimes: {
attached() {
this.loadData()
},
detached() {
this.cleanup()
}
}
})
```
```vue
<!-- Target — TypeScript -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref, watch, onMounted, onUnmounted, type Ref } from 'vue'
// --- Typed Props ---
interface Props {
title: string
count?: number
list?: string[]
}
const props = withDefaults(defineProps<Props>(), {
count: 0,
list: () => []
})
// --- Typed Emits ---
const emit = defineEmits<{
change: [value: number]
}>()
// --- Internal state ---
const internalState = ref<boolean>(false)
const expanded = ref<boolean>(false)
// --- Methods ---
const onTap = (): void => {
internalState.value = true
emit('change', 1)
}
const toggleExpand = (): void => {
expanded.value = !expanded.value
}
const handleCountChange = (val: number | undefined): void => {
console.log('count changed to', val)
}
const loadData = (): void => {
// init logic
}
const cleanup = (): void => {
// cleanup logic
}
// --- Watchers (was observers) ---
watch(() => props.count, (val: number | undefined) => {
handleCountChange(val)
})
// --- Lifecycle (was lifetimes) ---
onMounted(() => {
loadData()
})
onUnmounted(() => {
cleanup()
})
</script>
```
**Rules (see [mappings.md §5](references/mappings.md#5-生命周期映射)):**
- `properties` → `defineProps<Interface>()` with interface, or `defineProps({...})` for runtime validation. Use `withDefaults(defineProps<>(), {...})` for defaults.
- `data` → `ref<T>()` / `reactive<T>()`
- `methods` → typed functions (`(): void => {...}`)
- `this.triggerEvent(name, detail)` → `emit(name, value)` with typed `defineEmits<{ event: [payloadType] }>()`
- `observers` → `watch()` / `watchEffect()`
- `behaviors` → typed composables (`use*.ts`)
- `lifetimes.created` → code in `<script setup lang="ts">` top-level
- `lifetimes.attached` → `onMounted()`
- `lifetimes.detached` → `onUnmounted()`
- `this.selectComponent(id)` → template refs with `ref<InstanceType<typeof Comp>>()`
- `externalClasses` → props-based class passing + `:deep()` selectors
- `relations` → typed `provide`/`inject` with injection keys
### 5.2 WXML / WXSS
Same as page conversion (Step 4), with this key difference:
- WXML slot: `<slot>` → `<slot>` (same in Vue)
- Multiple named slots: `<slot name="header">` → `<slot name="header">` (same)
### 5.3 Component Registration
uni-app auto-registers components placed in `components/` via easycom. Ensure component filename matches its usage name:
```
components/star/star.vue → <star /> (auto-registered)
```
If using custom paths, register explicitly in `pages.json` > `globalStyle.usingComponents` or page-level style.
---
## Step 6: Convert Utils & API Calls (JS → TypeScript)
### 6.1 File Migration: `.js` → `.ts`
Rename all utility files and add type annotations:
```ts
// utils/request.ts (was utils/request.js)
interface RequestConfig {
url: string
method?: 'GET' | 'POST' | 'PUT' | 'DELETE'
data?: Record<string, any>
header?: Record<string, string>
}
interface RequestResponse<T = any> {
code: number
data: T
message: string
}
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.example.com'
export const request = <T = any>(config: RequestConfig): Promise<RequestResponse<T>> => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
uni.request({
url: BASE_URL + config.url,
method: config.method || 'GET',
data: config.data,
header: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
...config.header
},
success: (res) => {
const data = res.data as RequestResponse<T>
if (data.code === 0) {
resolve(data)
} else {
uni.showToast({ title: data.message || '请求失败', icon: 'none' })
reject(data)
}
},
fail: (err) => {
uni.showToast({ title: '网络异常', icon: 'none' })
reject(err)
}
})
})
}
```
```ts
// utils/config.ts (was utils/config.js)
export interface AppConfig {
baseUrl: string
version: string
debug: boolean
}
export const config: AppConfig = {
baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
version: '1.0.0',
debug: false
}
```
### 6.2 Global `wx.*` → `uni.*` Replacement
Use the API mapping table in [mappings.md §6](references/mappings.md#6-api-映射-wx--uni). Most APIs are a direct namespace swap.
Walk through every file and replace:
- `wx.setStorageSync` → `uni.setStorageSync`
- `wx.request` → `uni.request`
- `wx.navigateTo` → `uni.navigateTo`
- `wx.showToast` → `uni.showToast`
- (all 100+ commonly used APIs)
For APIs that don't have a uni-app equivalent, keep them inside conditional compilation:
```ts
// #ifdef MP-WEIXIN
wx.cloud.init()
const db = wx.cloud.database()
// #endif
```
### 6.3 Promise + TypeScript
Convert callbacks to async/await with types:
```ts
// Before:
wx.getSystemInfo({
success(res: WechatMiniprogram.SystemInfo) {
console.log(res.screenWidth)
}
})
// After:
const info = await uni.getSystemInfo()
console.log(info.screenWidth)
// With explicit type:
const info = await uni.getSystemInfo() as UniApp.GetSystemInfoResult
console.log(info.windowWidth)
```
### 6.4 getApp() and getCurrentPages()
These work identically in uni-app. No changes needed unless accessing WeChat-specific fields.
For typed access:
```ts
const app = getApp<{ globalData: { userId: string; token: string } }>()
console.log(app.globalData.userId)
```
### 6.5 WXS Scripts → TypeScript
WXS has no direct Vue equivalent. For each `.wxs` file:
- **Simple data formatting** → TypeScript utility functions with explicit types, imported into `<script setup lang="ts">`, used in `computed` or template expressions
- **Event handlers in WXS** → move to Vue methods (typed)
- **Complex WXS logic** → extract as a standalone `.ts` module, import where needed
```ts
// utils/format.ts (was utils/filter.wxs)
export const formatPrice = (price: number): string => {
return `¥${price.toFixed(2)}`
}
export const formatTime = (timestamp: number, fmt: string = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'): string => {
const d = new Date(timestamp)
const pad = (n: number): string => n.toString().padStart(2, '0')
return fmt
.replace('YYYY', d.getFullYear().toString())
.replace('MM', pad(d.getMonth() + 1))
.replace('DD', pad(d.getDate()))
.replace('HH', pad(d.getHours()))
.replace('mm', pad(d.getMinutes()))
.replace('ss', pad(d.getSeconds()))
}
```
### 6.6 Dependencies
Check `package.json` dependencies:
- 3rd-party miniprogram components: find uni-app equivalents or keep inside `#ifdef MP-WEIXIN`
- Utility libs (lodash, dayjs, etc.): carry over directly — install with `@types/*` packages for TypeScript support
- WeChat-specific SDKs: conditional compilation
---
## Step 7: Finalize & Verify
### 7.1 Write the Complete Project
Write all converted files to the output directory. For **every text file write**, use the `scripts/write_file.py` script from the `qclaw-text-file` skill to ensure correct encoding and line endings.
### 7.2 Verification Checklist
Run through this checklist:
- [ ] `pages.json` has correct first page and all pages listed
- [ ] All page `.vue` files exist with `<script setup lang="ts">`
- [ ] All component `.vue` files exist with typed `defineProps<>()` / `defineEmits<>()`
- [ ] No `setData()` calls remain (replaced with direct `.value` assignment)
- [ ] No untyped `ref()` calls — all use `ref<T>(...)` with explicit generics
- [ ] No `wx.xxx` calls remain unhandled (mapped to `uni.xxx` or conditional compilation)
- [ ] All `bind:` → `@`, `catch:` → `@.stop`, `wx:if` → `v-if`
- [ ] `hidden` attributes inverted for `v-show`
- [ ] Page lifecycles use correct imports from `@dcloudio/uni-app`
- [ ] WXS logic extracted to typed `.ts` modules
- [ ] WeChat-specific features wrapped in `#ifdef MP-WEIXIN`
- [ ] Static assets (images, fonts) copied to `static/`
- [ ] `manifest.json` has WeChat appid set
- [ ] `App.vue` uses `<script lang="ts">` with `defineComponent`
- [ ] `tsconfig.json` present with correct paths and strict mode
- [ ] `types/global.d.ts` present with `.vue` module declaration
- [ ] All `.js` utils renamed to `.ts` with interfaces and type annotations
### 7.3 Report Summary
Output a summary table:
```
Total pages converted: N (<script setup lang="ts">)
Total components converted: M (defineProps<>() / defineEmits<>())
Total utils converted: K (.js → .ts with types)
Custom interfaces/types defined: X
Wx.* → uni.* replacements: Y
Conditional-compilation blocks added: Z
Lines of WXS converted to TS utils: W
Pending manual review items: [list]
```
### 7.4 Manual Review Items
Flag these for manual review:
- `wx.cloud` calls (needs uniCloud migration or conditional compile)
- Custom `getApp().globalData` patterns — add type assertions
- Third-party miniprogram UI libraries (see if uni-app alternatives exist)
- Complex animation logic (`wx.createAnimation`) — types may need manual adjustment
- `requirePlugin` usages — no TypeScript types available
- Canvas API uses (API signatures may differ slightly)
- Complex selectors or DOM manipulation that may not translate cleanly
- Any inferred `any` types that need explicit annotation
---
## Post-Conversion: Run the Project
After conversion, tell the user to:
```bash
cd <output-dir>
npm install
npm install -D @dcloudio/types @types/node
# Run in HBuilderX or with CLI:
npx @dcloudio/uvm
npm run dev:mp-weixin
```
Import `dist/dev/mp-weixin` into WeChat DevTools to test.
