Component Refactoring Skill

Refactor high-complexity React components with the patterns and workflow below.

Core Refactoring Patterns

Pattern 1: Extract Custom Hooks

When: Component has complex state management, multiple useState/useEffect, or business logic mixed with UI.

Dify Convention: Place hooks in a hooks/ subdirectory or alongside the component as use-<feature>.ts.

// ❌ Before: Complex state logic in component
const Configuration: FC = () => {
  const [modelConfig, setModelConfig] = useState<ModelConfig>(...)
  const [datasetConfigs, setDatasetConfigs] = useState<DatasetConfigs>(...)
  const [completionParams, setCompletionParams] = useState<FormValue>({})

  // 50+ lines of state management logic...

  return <div>...</div>
}

// ✅ After: Extract to custom hook
// hooks/use-model-config.ts
export const useModelConfig = (appId: string) => {
  const [modelConfig, setModelConfig] = useState<ModelConfig>(...)
  const [completionParams, setCompletionParams] = useState<FormValue>({})

  // Related state management logic here

  return { modelConfig, setModelConfig, completionParams, setCompletionParams }
}

// Component becomes cleaner
const Configuration: FC = () => {
  const { modelConfig, setModelConfig } = useModelConfig(appId)
  return <div>...</div>
}

Pattern 2: Extract Sub-Components

When: Single component has multiple UI sections, conditional rendering blocks, or repeated patterns.

// ❌ Before: Monolithic JSX with multiple sections
const AppInfo = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* 100 lines of header UI */}
      {/* 100 lines of operations UI */}
      {/* 100 lines of modals */}
    </div>
  )
}

// ✅ After: Split into focused components
// app-info/
//   ├── index.tsx           (orchestration only)
//   ├── app-header.tsx      (header UI)
//   ├── app-operations.tsx  (operations UI)
//   └── app-modals.tsx      (modal management)

const AppInfo = () => {
  const { showModal, setShowModal } = useAppInfoModals()

  return (
    <div>
      <AppHeader appDetail={appDetail} />
      <AppOperations onAction={handleAction} />
      <AppModals show={showModal} onClose={() => setShowModal(null)} />
    </div>
  )
}
