Frontend Refactors

This section documents frontend refactor work: why it was needed, what changed, and how the changes improve maintainability, readability, and long-term stability.

What is a code refactor?

Code refactoring is the process of improving the internal structure of existing code without changing its expected behavior.

Typical refactor goals include:

  • reducing duplicated logic
  • improving naming and readability
  • simplifying complex components and hooks
  • separating responsibilities to make testing and debugging easier
  • making future feature work safer and faster

When should refactor happen?

Refactor should be considered when one or more of the following are true:

  • a component or hook has become difficult to understand or modify
  • repeated logic appears in multiple places
  • bug fixes are taking too long because code is tightly coupled
  • adding a small feature requires changes in many unrelated files
  • test coverage is hard to add because the code is not modular

As a rule of thumb, refactor incrementally and in small, reviewable steps, preferably alongside feature work or bug fixes in the same area.
