From 5ba86621f250826df1451f2f6dac801cde3ff642 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ammar Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 10:55:24 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] =?UTF-8?q?=F0=9F=A4=96=20refactor:=20deduplicate=20Ma?= =?UTF-8?q?p/Record=20identity=20stabilization=20pattern?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Extract common pattern from useUnreadTracking and useWorkspaceAggregators into a reusable hook with comparator utilities. Changes: - Add useStableReference hook to manage identity stabilization - Add compareMaps, compareRecords, compareArrays utility functions - Comprehensive tests for all comparator functions - Refactor useUnreadTracking to use useStableReference + compareMaps - Refactor useWorkspaceAggregators to use useStableReference + compareRecords Benefits: - DRY - single implementation of the stabilization pattern - Type-safe - generics preserve types throughout - Testable - comparator functions are independently tested - Reusable - easy to apply to new cases (e.g., arrays, custom objects) - Maintainable - clear separation of comparison logic The pattern maintains reference identity when deep values haven't changed, preventing unnecessary re-renders in React components that depend on reference equality. --- src/hooks/useStableReference.test.ts | 138 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/hooks/useStableReference.ts | 134 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/hooks/useUnreadTracking.ts | 65 ++++++------- src/hooks/useWorkspaceAggregators.ts | 37 +++---- 4 files changed, 313 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/hooks/useStableReference.test.ts create mode 100644 src/hooks/useStableReference.ts diff --git a/src/hooks/useStableReference.test.ts b/src/hooks/useStableReference.test.ts new file mode 100644 index 000000000..1d4546306 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/hooks/useStableReference.test.ts @@ -0,0 +1,138 @@ +/** + * Tests for stable reference utilities. + * + * Note: Hook tests (useStableReference) are omitted because they require jsdom setup. + * The comparator functions are the critical logic and are thoroughly tested here. + * The hook itself is a thin wrapper around useMemo and useRef with manual testing. + */ +import { compareMaps, compareRecords, compareArrays } from "./useStableReference";
