Create a codemod repository

[bjohansebas]

Hi 👋

As part of improving and making migrations to future versions of Express easier, it would be good to have a dedicated repository for codemods

I was not aware of the codemod and honestly seems like an awesome idea, based on this example from Next.js. https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/upgrading/codemods.

Big +1 from my side. I will add it to the next meeting agenda.

I have prepared very minimalist demo repository here: https://github.com/kjugi/express-codemod
Is that what you are looking for?

[UlisesGascon]

As discussed in our last TC meeting, the agreement is to work on a personal repository and then transfer it to the org when is mature :). WDYT @bjohansebas ?

[bjohansebas]

Sounds great, I’ll get started on it.

[kjugi]

Not sure how to understand both responses tbh 😅
@bjohansebas Do you want to create your own repository? Should I contribute there?
I have created mine because I wanted to confirm that's the right way and to help start this process ✌️

[bjohansebas]

@kjugi I will create the repository and add you, so you can contribute

I've created this issue for the functionalities that these codemods should implement, and I have a question about whether we should update from version 3 to version 5?

@kjugi Please join Slack so we can coordinate better.

This is done right? I think so will close, but re-open if there was anything left to do.
