This document outlines the refactoring changes made to improve the structure and maintainability of the DEV Partner Portal application.
The client-side JavaScript files (continue.js and landing.js) were large monolithic files with multiple responsibilities, making them difficult to maintain and debug.
The JavaScript has been refactored into smaller, more focused modules:
- uploadcare-manager.js: Handles all Uploadcare-related functionality
- gallery-renderer.js: Handles rendering the image gallery UI
- form-handler.js: Handles form submission and validation
This modular approach improves:
- Code organization and readability
- Testability
- Maintainability
- Reusability
The client-side JavaScript now uses ES modules for better code organization and dependency management:
<script src="/public/js/continue.js" type="module"></script>
- Improved Code Organization: Clear separation of concerns with modular code
- Better Maintainability: Smaller, focused files are easier to understand and modify
- Enhanced Scalability: The new structure makes it easier to add new features
- Reduced Duplication: Common functionality is now in shared modules
- Better Error Handling: Consistent error handling across modules
- API Structure: Consider reorganizing API routes with proper path prefixes in a future update
- Controller Separation: Further separate controllers into presentation and business logic
- TypeScript Types: Add more comprehensive TypeScript types for better type safety
- Testing: Add unit and integration tests for the refactored code
- Documentation: Add JSDoc comments to all functions and modules
- Performance Optimization: Implement lazy loading for the image gallery
