Convert TabView components to TypeScript

This PR converts src/components/tab-view from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted Tab, TabView, and TabViewPrimitive to TypeScript with exported props interfaces
  • Converted the index, Storybook stories, and unit tests to TypeScript
  • Created .js.flow files for backward compatibility
  • Removed stale suppressions and improved test typings

Contract

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

Testing

  • All 47 tests for src/components/tab-view pass
  • yarn lint, yarn lint:ts, and flow check pass
  • Manually verified Components/TabView in Storybook

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an accessible tab interface with selectable tabs and associated content panels.
    • Added keyboard navigation, focus indicators, and support for button- or link-based tabs.
    • Added optional dynamic layouts with scrolling and tab visibility controls.
    • Added callbacks for tracking tab selection and configurable default selections.
    • Exposed tab components and their property types for reuse.
  • Tests

    • Improved coverage and assertions for tab selection, rendering, focus, and keyboard behavior.

Walkthrough

This change adds TypeScript implementations for Tab, TabView, and TabViewPrimitive. It adds typed exports, Flow declarations, tab navigation, accessibility attributes, dynamic scrolling, and stronger TypeScript test typing.

Changes

Tab view TypeScript migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Public contracts and exports
src/components/tab-view/Tab.*, src/components/tab-view/TabView.*, src/components/tab-view/TabViewPrimitive.tsx, src/components/tab-view/index.*
Adds typed props, Flow declarations, accessibility constants, and component/type barrel exports.
Primitive tab behavior
src/components/tab-view/TabViewPrimitive.*
Implements tab and panel rendering, selection, focus, keyboard navigation, dynamic scrolling, navigation arrows, link-backed tabs, and ARIA attributes.
TabView orchestration
src/components/tab-view/TabView.*
Tracks selected and focused indices, resets state when the default index changes, handles keyboard focus, invokes callbacks, and delegates rendering to TabViewPrimitive.
Typed validation and stories
src/components/tab-view/__tests__/*, src/components/tab-view/TabView.stories.tsx
Adds TypeScript wrapper and callback types, Jest mocks, stronger assertions, and a numeric story callback annotation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 87b9e

This change migrates TabView to TypeScript while preserving its existing behavior and contracts; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit checks each tab in line,
Typed props keep the paths aligned.
Arrows move and panels show,
Focus follows where tabs go.
Flow and TypeScript share the burrow.

3-11: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Both test files alias an Enzyme wrapper type to ReactWrapper while rendering with shallow. Enzyme returns ShallowWrapper from shallow and ReactWrapper from mount. ShallowWrapper is not assignable to ReactWrapper, so any declaration that holds a shallow result with these aliases does not type-check.

  • src/components/tab-view/__tests__/TabViewPrimitive.test.tsx#L3-L11: change TabViewPrimitiveWrapper to ShallowWrapper<any, any, any> if the tests in this file use shallow, and import ShallowWrapper as a type.
  • src/components/tab-view/__tests__/TabView.test.tsx#L3-L11: apply the same change to TabViewWrapper, or define separate aliases if the file mixes shallow and mount.

In `@src/components/tab-view/TabViewPrimitive.tsx`:
- Around line 347-359: Update the panel id generation in the tab-panels mapping
of TabViewPrimitive so each panel uses the same one-based index as the
corresponding tab’s aria-controls value. Keep the existing tabviewID prefix and
other panel attributes unchanged.
- Around line 230-246: Restore the
jsx-a11y/no-noninteractive-element-to-interactive-role suppression around
renderTabs() in TabViewPrimitive, covering the tabs div that uses role="tablist"
and tabIndex={0}; do not change the component behavior or broader lint
configuration.
- Around line 16-33: Guard nullable entries in the tab-ref handling used by
getLastElementsAnchorPoint, scrollToTab, and focusOnTabElement before reading
their properties or invoking focus(). Preserve the existing behavior for valid
elements while safely skipping or handling entries assigned null by ref
callbacks.
