FontSizePicker: Use components instead of helper functions #44891

noisysocks · 2022-10-12T06:05:18Z

What?

Simplify how FontSizePicker is implemented by using nested components for the CustomSelectControl and ToggleGroupControl logic instead of helper functions.

Why?

While adding types to FontSizePicker in #44449 I ran into difficulty typing getFontSizeOptions as its return type depends on the runtime value of useSelectControl. See #44449 (comment) for some relevant discussion there.

The end result is lots of yucky as casts scattered throughout the component:

gutenberg/packages/components/src/font-size-picker/index.tsx

Line 218 in 3983fee

options={ options as FontSizeSelectOption[] }

In addition to being difficult to type, it's just plain confusing. @ramonjd learned this the other day when trying to make a simple change to FontSizePicker in #44791. He only needed to change one line but the design of this component tricked him into thinking it was more complicated than it was. (Sorry to pick on you @ramonjd.)

To do away with all of this, I've settled on embracing that FontSizePicker works differently depending on if there are more than 5 font sizes or not. I've split out the CustomSelectControl (>5 font sizes) and ToggleGroupControl (≤5 font sizes) into their own components. Now each component can do whatever it needs to do without having to worry about the other. We can then remove the difficult-to-type helper functions altogether.

How?

New FontSizePickerSelect component: this contains the CustomSelectControl and logic for when there are > 5 font sizes.
New FontSizePickerToggleGroup component: this contains the ToggleGroupControl and logic for when there are ≤5 font sizes.
Removed no-longer-necessary helpers from utils.ts.

Testing Instructions

Either:

Look at FontSizePicker in Storybook, or;
Go to Site Editor → Global Styles → Typography → Text → Size.

The font size picker should work exactly as it does in trunk and tests should pass.

Simplify how FontSizePicker is implemented by using nested components instead of helper functions. Components are easier to reason about and much easier to type.

Thank you for working on this, @noisysocks !

This has been a much deeper review than anticipated 😅

Apart from the inline comments, could we also rename:

toggle-group.tsx to font-size-picker-toggle-group.tsx
select.tsx to font-size-picker-select.tsx

The following observations are also present on trunk, but I thought I'd mention them anyway:

I noticed that the user can still enter a custom value even if disableCustomFontSizes is set to true, when withSlider is also set to true
The logic around fallbackFontSize, withReset and withSlider is very confusing and should be reviewed.
The component can get into a weird state if:
i. Click on the toggle to show the custom font size controls
ii. Change the disableCustomFontSizes to true
iii. The UI disappears and the user is stuck

Thanks for the feedback @ciampo!

I think #44598 should accidentally fix this!

The whole component is very confusing 😂. I'd be keen to deprecate withReset. fallbackFontSize is named poorly (suggestion: defaultSliderValue) but probably needs to be there.

Feedback addressed or responded to! Thanks again.

ciampo · 2022-10-13T09:22:48Z

Thank you! I will try to have another look at this before EOW

ciampo

There's a couple of comments still in need of addressing, but in the meantime I gave the component a look on Storybook and it looks fine!

I still think that we could add more tests to FontSizePicker, given its complexity and the number of edge cases (an example of the need for more coverage is that my manual code review flagged at least 3 instances in which the original logic was not refactored correctly). It would be a good investment , since from what I understand this component will be changed/improved further in the upcoming weeks.

(ps: for the same reasons, more manual testing is welcome too!)

noisysocks · 2022-10-25T05:33:51Z

I rebased this and addressed all the inline feedback. I'll improve the FontSizePicker tests tomorrow in a seperate PR so that we can merge that one first.

I stacked this PR onto #45298.

noisysocks · 2022-11-01T06:31:29Z

Cool, the unit tests added in #45298 pass! That should reassure us that this refactor doesn't break FontSizePicker. How are you feeling @ciampo?

ciampo

How are you feeling @ciampo?

Feeling pretty good about this change and the newly added test — they definitely give us more confidence when making changes moving forward!

Although I still found some discrepancies between this PR and trunk, which I outlined in one of the inline conversations. I believe that once that's solved, we'll be ready to merge!

Nice catch @ciampo, I've fixed that and added regression tests.

I tricked myself, I think :)

Heads up, it's possible that I'll need this again for #44967

Maybe not. Either way, it's going to be a gnarly rebase if this goes in first.

🐎

Oh wait, I can probably use selectedFontSize or something similar. Never mind me.

Yeah selectedFontSize should work. Or you can fontSizes.find(). Happy to help you with the rebase if it's too gnarly.

LGTM 🚀

Great, great work here. Thank you so much!
