add-key-to-component-array

[jasquat]

This fixes a bug where navigating between task show pages would cause items on the page go out of order. It sets a key to each element in the array so react can properly monitor what enters and leaves the array and render items properly.

Walkthrough

The update introduces a new function, renderElementsForArray, to efficiently manage the rendering of array elements in React components, ensuring each has a unique key. This function is added to the helpers.tsx file and utilized in TaskShow.tsx, where the handling of page elements is refined to store objects comprising keys and components, enhancing React's ability to track and update elements efficiently.

Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
  • Generate unit-tests for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit tests for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.
  • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit tests.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

spiffworkflow-frontend/src/interfaces.ts (1)

• 502-504: The ElementForArray interface is well-defined, with key as a string and component as a ReactElement or null. This structure supports the changes made in helpers.tsx for rendering elements with keys. It's crucial that the key property is unique to each element to ensure proper rendering and re-rendering behavior in React. This addition aligns with the PR's objective to improve UI consistency and reliability.

spiffworkflow-frontend/src/routes/TaskShow.tsx (2)

• 13-13: The addition of renderElementsForArray to the import statement from ../helpers indicates that this function will be used within this file to render elements for an array with unique keys. This is a crucial step in addressing the bug related to the ordering of items on task show pages. It's important to ensure that this function is implemented correctly in helpers.tsx and is used appropriately within this file.
• 18-18: The introduction of the ElementForArray interface in the import statement suggests that this interface is used to define the structure of elements within the pageElements array. This is a good practice as it helps to ensure type safety and clarity in the code, making it easier to understand and maintain. It's essential to review the definition of this interface to ensure it meets the requirements and is used consistently throughout the file.
