majiayu000 Import and Reference Updater
This guide is for updating all module references after moving or renaming files, including import statements, string paths, and configuration references.
Core workflow:
- Map old paths → new paths
- Find ALL references (imports, strings, configs, docs)
- Update systematically by type
- Verify paths exist and imports resolve
- Report changes made
Reference types updated:
- Import statements (Python/TS/JS)
- String-based paths
- Configuration files
- Documentation examples
Quick example
Moving utilities to /utils:
1. Find old utility imports
2. Update to /utils imports
3. Update string references
4. Update docs
→ Report: 23 files, 45 imports updated
Best practices:
- Verify paths exist before updating
- Preserve import style (absolute vs relative)
- Process in batches for large refactorings
- Test after major changes
