Summary

Refactors EditCard.tsx to improve code organization and maintainability by extracting components and hooks into focused, single-responsibility modules, as proposed in CORE-1452.

Changes Made

1. AuthenticationGate Component (EditCard/AuthenticationGate.tsx)

  • Extracted authentication logic (LoginOrEdit, LoginConfirmation)
  • Separates authentication concern from editing logic
  • ~140 lines with comprehensive JSDoc comments

2. Business Logic Hooks (EditCard/hooks.ts)

  • Extracted useOnRemove - Handles highlight deletion
  • Extracted useOnColorChange - Manages color changes and creation
  • Extracted useSaveAnnotation - Handles annotation saving
  • ~220 lines with detailed documentation explaining each hook's purpose

3. Action Buttons (EditCard/ActionButtons.tsx)

  • Extracted SaveButton and CancelButton components
  • Makes buttons reusable and testable in isolation
  • ~125 lines with clear prop interfaces

4. Annotation Editor (EditCard/AnnotationEditor.tsx)

  • Extracted annotation textarea component
  • Handles focus, change tracking, and color initialization
  • ~150 lines with detailed comments

5. Main EditCard.tsx

  • Reduced from 527 to 424 lines (-19.5%)
  • Added comprehensive file-level and inline comments
  • Organized with clear section markers
  • Explains state management strategy, event flow, and focus behavior

SOLID Principles Applied

Single Responsibility Principle: Each file has one clear responsibility:

  • AuthenticationGate: Authentication only
  • hooks.ts: Business logic only
  • ActionButtons: Button UI only
  • AnnotationEditor: Annotation input only
  • EditCard.tsx: Component composition and coordination

Open/Closed Principle: Extracted hooks easier to extend without modifying core component

Interface Segregation Principle: Each extracted component has minimal, focused props interface

Impact

  • Main file reduced by 19.5% (527 → 424 lines)
  • 4 new focused modules with single responsibilities
  • ~635 lines of new JSDoc comments explaining intent
  • Improved testability through better separation of concerns
  • Enhanced reusability - hooks and components can be used elsewhere
  • No breaking changes - maintains existing API and behavior

Testing

  • All existing functionality preserved
  • No changes to public API
  • Maintains backward compatibility
  • Ready for existing test suite
