FYI: If you want to change jsx to tsx also, the command would become as follows
find app/src -name "*.jsx" -exec sh -c 'mv "$0" "${0%.jsx}.tsx"' {} \;

How to rename .ts to .js?

Nice!

I needed to pre-filter to only certain folders using globs:

find **/background/**/*.js -name "*.js" -exec sh -c 'mv "$0" "${0%.js}.ts"' {} \;

Run a test first with just the find:

find **/background/**/*.js

This is great. How could I make it so it will only change .js files that begin with capital letters or follow a certain regex pattern?

find . -path ./node_modules -prune -o -name "*.js" -exec sh -c 'mv "$0" "${0%.js}.ts"' {} \;

if your sources are in ./ and you must skip node_modules
