This document outlines the changes made in Phase 5 of the continue.html refactoring.
Building on the foundation established in previous phases, we've added unit tests and implemented performance optimizations.
-
Test Framework Setup
- Created a structured testing directory
- Added test documentation and examples
- Set up test helpers and mocks
-
Utility Function Tests (
/tests/unit/utils/helpers.test.ts)- Tests for the
generateUniqueIdfunction - Validates UUID format and uniqueness
- Tests for the
-
Form Validation Tests (
/tests/unit/modules/form-validator.test.ts)- Tests for the
validateFieldfunction - Validates different field types (email, URL, text)
- Tests required field validation
- Tests for the
-
Template Service Tests (
/tests/unit/services/templateService.test.ts)- Tests for the
renderTemplatefunction - Tests variable replacement
- Tests conditional processing
- Tests component inclusion
- Tests for the
-
Performance Module (
/public/js/modules/performance.js)- Lazy loading for images
- Deferred script loading
- Throttling and debouncing functions
- Performance monitoring
-
Lazy Image Component (
/views/components/ui/lazy-image.html)- Implements lazy loading for images
- Uses placeholder SVGs
- Supports native lazy loading
- Maintains accessibility
-
Throttled API Calls
- Implemented throttling for gallery refresh
- Prevents excessive API calls
- Improves responsiveness
-
Debounced Form Submissions
- Implemented debouncing for form submissions
- Prevents double submissions
- Improves user experience
-
Responsive UI Optimizations
- Added throttled window resize handler
- Adjusts UI for different screen sizes
- Improves performance on mobile devices
-
Enhanced Continue.js
- Added performance monitoring
- Implemented throttling and debouncing
- Improved error handling
- Added responsive UI adjustments
-
Enhanced Landing.js
- Added performance monitoring
- Implemented debounced form submissions
- Improved validation handling
- Improved Reliability: Unit tests ensure code correctness
- Better Performance: Lazy loading and throttling reduce resource usage
- Enhanced User Experience: Debouncing prevents double submissions
- Improved Mobile Experience: Responsive optimizations for different devices
- Better Debugging: Performance monitoring helps identify bottlenecks
- Reduced Server Load: Throttled API calls reduce server load
<img data-src="{{src}}" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 {{width}} {{height}}'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="{{alt}}" width="{{width}}" height="{{height}}" class="lazy-image {{classes}}" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="{{ariaDescribedby}}" />
// Load and render images with throttling to prevent excessive API calls
const throttledRefreshGallery = throttle(async function() {
try {
const images = await loadImages(submissionId);
updateImageCount(images.length);
if (images.length > 0) {
renderUploadcareGallery(
images,
'uploadcare-gallery',
submissionId,
throttledRefreshGallery
);
} else {
// Clear the file list container
fileListContainer.innerHTML = '<div class="uploadcare--text">No images uploaded yet</div>';
}
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error refreshing gallery:', error);
updateStatus(`Error: ${error.message}`, 'red');
}
}, 500);
// Handle form submission with debouncing to prevent double submissions
const debouncedSubmit = debounce(async (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
// Validate the form before submission
if (!validateForm(form)) {
return;
}
submitAdditionalInfo(form, submissionId, {
// Form submission logic...
});
}, 300);
form.addEventListener('submit', debouncedSubmit);
For future phases, we would:
- Implement end-to-end testing for critical user flows
- Add more comprehensive unit test coverage
- Implement code splitting for larger JavaScript files
- Add service worker for offline support
- Implement more sophisticated caching strategies
