DEV Partner Portal Refactoring

This document outlines the refactoring changes made to improve the structure and maintainability of the DEV Partner Portal application.

JavaScript Modularization

Before

The client-side JavaScript files (continue.js and landing.js) were large monolithic files with multiple responsibilities, making them difficult to maintain and debug.

After

The JavaScript has been refactored into smaller, more focused modules:

  1. uploadcare-manager.js: Handles all Uploadcare-related functionality
  2. gallery-renderer.js: Handles rendering the image gallery UI
  3. form-handler.js: Handles form submission and validation

This modular approach improves:

  • Code organization and readability
  • Testability
  • Maintainability
  • Reusability

ES Modules Support

The client-side JavaScript now uses ES modules for better code organization and dependency management:

<script src="/public/js/continue.js" type="module"></script>

Benefits of the Refactoring

  1. Improved Code Organization: Clear separation of concerns with modular code
  2. Better Maintainability: Smaller, focused files are easier to understand and modify
  3. Enhanced Scalability: The new structure makes it easier to add new features
  4. Reduced Duplication: Common functionality is now in shared modules
  5. Better Error Handling: Consistent error handling across modules

Future Improvements

  1. API Structure: Consider reorganizing API routes with proper path prefixes in a future update
  2. Controller Separation: Further separate controllers into presentation and business logic
  3. TypeScript Types: Add more comprehensive TypeScript types for better type safety
  4. Testing: Add unit and integration tests for the refactored code
  5. Documentation: Add JSDoc comments to all functions and modules
  6. Performance Optimization: Implement lazy loading for the image gallery
