🔴 The Legacy Problem

The Monolith

The component (let's call it LegacyComponent.tsx) had evolved into a 2000-line monolith:

export const LegacyComponent: FC<Props> = ({ entityId, ...50MoreProps }) => {
  // 50+ useState hooks
  const [content, setContent] = useState('');
  const [items, setItems] = useState([]);
  const [selectedItem, setSelectedItem] = useState(null);
  // ... 47 more useState hooks

  // Multiple data fetching hooks
  const { data: mainData } = useQuery(...);
  const { data: relatedData } = useQuery(...);
  const { data: metadata } = useQuery(...);
  // ... 5 more queries

  // Scattered business logic and rendering (300+ lines)
  return (
    <Container>
      {mainData.items.map((item) => {
        // Complex conditional rendering logic
        if (item.type === 'typeA') {
          return <ComponentA {...allProps} />;
        }
        if (item.type === 'typeB' && item.status === 'active') {
          return <ComponentB {...allProps} />;
        }
        if (item.type === 'typeC' && someCondition) {
          return <ComponentC {...allProps} />;
        }
        // ... 20+ more conditions
      })}
    </Container>
  );
};

The Pain

🏗️ Phase 1: AI-Driven Architecture Design

Step 1: Problem Analysis

My Prompt:

Analyze this large component and identify:
1. All responsibilities it handles
2. Coupling points and dependencies
3. Conditional rendering patterns
4. State management issues
5. Architectural problems
6. Performance bottlenecks

AI's Analysis:

• 50+ useState hooks identified
• 7 distinct data fetching patterns
• 23 different conditional rendering branches
• 4 major responsibility violations (data, logic, rendering, events)
• 15 performance bottlenecks

Key AI Insight: Discovered implicit classification system in the conditional logic that wasn't explicitly defined—this became the foundation for the new architecture.

Step 2: Architecture Proposals

My Prompt:

Propose 3 architectural approaches:
1. Minimal change
2. Moderate refactor
3. Complete redesign

Include diagrams, pros/cons, risk assessment.

AI Generated 3 Detailed Proposals:

I chose Approach 2: Layered Architecture based on AI's risk/reward analysis.

Step 3: Component Hierarchy Design

AI's Proposed Hierarchy:

PageComponent (Route)
    ↓
DataProvider (Data Layer)
    ├─ Data fetching hooks
    ├─ Mutation hooks
    └─ Derived data
    ↓
SmartContainer (Orchestration)
    ├─ Context consumption
    ├─ Local UI state
    └─ Event handlers
    ↓
PresentationComponent (Presentation)
    └─ Pure rendering
    ↓
ItemRouter (Routing/Classification)
    ├─ Item type classification
    └─ Component selection
    ↓
[Specialized Item Components]

Human Validation: Reviewed against existing patterns, approved with minor modifications.

Step 4: Type System Generation

My Prompt:

Create TypeScript enum for item types that:
1. Captures all the different types found in conditional logic
2. Supports hierarchical classification (if applicable)
3. Is extensible for future types
4. Includes a configuration object for each type

AI's Generated Code:

export enum ItemType {
  // CATEGORY A
  TYPE_A_VARIANT_1 = 'type_a_variant_1',
  TYPE_A_VARIANT_2 = 'type_a_variant_2',

  // CATEGORY B
  TYPE_B_VARIANT_1 = 'type_b_variant_1',
  TYPE_B_VARIANT_2 = 'type_b_variant_2',

  // CATEGORY C
  TYPE_C_VARIANT_1 = 'type_c_variant_1',
  TYPE_C_VARIANT_2 = 'type_c_variant_2',
}

export interface ItemTypeConfig {
  component: React.ComponentType<any>;
  category: string;
  features: string[];
  description: string;
}

export const ITEM_TYPE_CONFIG: Record<ItemType, ItemTypeConfig> = {
  [ItemType.TYPE_A_VARIANT_1]: {
    component: ComponentA1,
    category: 'categoryA',
    features: ['Feature1', 'Feature2'],
    description: 'Type A variant 1',
  },
  // ... AI generated all configurations
};

Result: 95% of AI-generated code used as-is after naming convention adjustments.

🔍 Phase 2: AI-Assisted Code Analysis

Dependency Mapping

My Prompt:

Analyze all dependencies:
1. Map imports and usage
2. Identify circular dependencies
3. Find unused imports
4. Suggest injection points

AI's Findings:

• 32 direct imports
• 3 circular dependencies (I didn't know these existed!)
• 7 unused imports
• 12 tightly coupled dependencies

Example AI Detection:

CIRCULAR DEPENDENCY DETECTED:
LegacyComponent → UtilityModule → HelperModule → LegacyComponent

RECOMMENDATION: Extract shared types/interfaces to separate file
IMPACT: Breaking this cycle will improve testability and reduce coupling

State Management Analysis

My Prompt:

Analyze all state management:
1. List all hooks
2. Identify state that should be lifted
3. Identify local state
4. Find performance issues

AI's Report:

useState: 52 total
├─ Provider layer: 18
├─ Container layer: 15
├─ Presentation layer: 12
└─ Remove (derived): 7

useEffect: 23 total
├─ Missing dependencies: 8 ⚠️
├─ Infinite loop risks: 3 🔴
├─ Provider layer: 12
└─ Container layer: 8

Performance Issues:
├─ Unstable functions: 15
├─ Missing memoization: 22
└─ Unnecessary re-renders: 8

Human Action: Fixed 3 infinite loop risks immediately, planned state migration.

Classification Logic Extraction

My Prompt:

Extract all conditional rendering logic into a pure classification function.
Input: item data and context
Output: ItemType enum value
Make it testable and maintainable.

AI's Generated Function:

export function classifyItemType(
  item: Item,
  context: Context,
  additionalFlags?: Flags,
): ItemType {
  // Primary classification based on item type
  const category = determineCategory(item);

  // Secondary classification based on state/context
  if (category === 'categoryA') {
    if (additionalFlags?.isActive && item.status === 'processing') {
      return ItemType.TYPE_A_VARIANT_1;
    }
    if (item.status === 'completed') {
      return ItemType.TYPE_A_VARIANT_2;
    }
    return ItemType.TYPE_A_VARIANT_1; // default
  } else if (category === 'categoryB') {
    if (additionalFlags?.isSpecial) {
      return ItemType.TYPE_B_VARIANT_2;
    }
    return ItemType.TYPE_B_VARIANT_1;
  } else {
    // categoryC
    if (context.mode === 'advanced') {
      return ItemType.TYPE_C_VARIANT_2;
    }
    return ItemType.TYPE_C_VARIANT_1;
  }
}

Validation: Tested against existing logic, matched 98% of cases, fixed 2% edge cases.

⚙️ Phase 3: AI-Powered Refactoring

Provider Layer (800+ lines generated)

My Prompt:

Create a DataProvider component that:
1. Handles all data fetching for this feature
2. Manages mutations (create, update, delete operations)
3. Provides derived/computed data
4. Uses React Query for caching
5. Exposes data via context
6. Implements proper memoization to prevent re-renders

AI Generated Complete Provider:

export const DataProvider: FC<Props> = ({
  entityId,
  children,
  pollingInterval = 10000,
}) => {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();

  // QUERIES - Fetch all required data
  const { data: mainData, isLoading, refetch } = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['mainData', entityId],
    queryFn: () => fetchMainData(entityId),
    refetchInterval: pollingInterval,
  });

  const relatedId = mainData?.relatedEntity?.id;
  const { data: relatedData } = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['relatedData', relatedId],
    queryFn: () => relatedId ? fetchRelatedData(relatedId) : undefined,
    enabled: !!relatedId,
  });

  // MUTATIONS - Handle data modifications
  const updateMutation = useMutation(updateEntity, {
    onSuccess: () => {
      queryClient.invalidateQueries(['mainData', entityId]);
    },
  });

  // DERIVED DATA - Compute values from fetched data
  const items = useMemo(() => mainData?.items || [], [mainData?.items]);
  const filteredItems = useMemo(
    () => items.filter((item, i) => shouldShowItem(mainData!, item, i)),
    [items, mainData]
  );

  // CONTEXT VALUE - Memoize to prevent unnecessary re-renders
  const value = useMemo(() => ({
    mainData,
    items,
    filteredItems,
    relatedData: relatedData || [],
    isLoading,
    updateEntity: updateMutation.mutateAsync,
    refetch,
  }), [mainData, items, filteredItems, relatedData, isLoading, updateMutation, refetch]);

  return (
    <DataContext.Provider value={value}>
      {children}
    </DataContext.Provider>
  );
};

Human Review: Added optimistic updates, error handling, tested with APIs.

Result: 95% AI code used as-is.

Container Layer (400+ lines generated)

AI Generated Container:

export const SmartContainer: FC<Props> = ({
  entityId,
  viewMode,
}) => {
  // CONSUME PROVIDER - Get data from context
  const { mainData, items, updateEntity, isLoading } = useDataContext();

  // LOCAL UI STATE - Component-specific state
  const [selectedItemId, setSelectedItemId] = useState<string | null>(null);
  const [formData, setFormData] = useState({});

  // EVENT HANDLERS - Handle user interactions
  const handleItemUpdate = useCallback(async (data: UpdateData) => {
    await updateEntity({ entityId, data });
    setFormData({});
  }, [entityId, updateEntity]);

  const handleItemSelect = useCallback((itemId: string) => {
    setSelectedItemId(itemId);
  }, []);

  // LOADING STATE
  if (isLoading) return <LoadingSkeleton />;

  // RENDER PRESENTATION COMPONENT
  return (
    <PresentationComponent
      mainData={mainData}
      items={items}
      selectedItemId={selectedItemId}
      formData={formData}
      onItemUpdate={handleItemUpdate}
      onItemSelect={handleItemSelect}
      onFormDataChange={setFormData}
    />
  );
};

Item Router Component

AI Generated Router:

export const ItemRouter: FC<Props> = ({
  item,
  context,
  additionalFlags,
  ...props
}) => {
  // CLASSIFY ITEM TYPE
  const itemType = useMemo(
    () => classifyItemType(item, context, additionalFlags),
    [item, context, additionalFlags]
  );

  // GET COMPONENT CONFIG
  const config = ITEM_TYPE_CONFIG[itemType];
  if (!config) {
    console.error(`No config found for item type: ${itemType}`);
    return null;
  }

  // RENDER APPROPRIATE COMPONENT
  const Component = config.component;
  return <Component item={item} context={context} {...props} />;
};

Test Generation (600+ lines)

My Prompt:

Generate comprehensive tests for:
1. classifyItemType function (all scenarios)
2. ItemRouter component (all types)
3. DataProvider (data fetching, mutations)
Include edge cases and error scenarios.

AI Generated Complete Test Suite:

describe('classifyItemType', () => {
  it('classifies type A variant 1', () => {
    const item = { type: 'typeA', status: 'processing' };
    const context = { mode: 'standard' };
    const flags = { isActive: true };

    expect(classifyItemType(item, context, flags))
      .toBe(ItemType.TYPE_A_VARIANT_1);
  });

  it('classifies type B variant 2 with special flag', () => {
    const item = { type: 'typeB', status: 'active' };
    const context = { mode: 'standard' };
    const flags = { isSpecial: true };

    expect(classifyItemType(item, context, flags))
      .toBe(ItemType.TYPE_B_VARIANT_2);
  });

  it('handles edge case with missing context', () => {
    const item = { type: 'typeC' };
    const context = {};

    expect(classifyItemType(item, context))
      .toBe(ItemType.TYPE_C_VARIANT_1); // default
  });

  // ... 40+ more test cases covering all branches
});

describe('ItemRouter', () => {
  it('renders correct component for type A', () => {
    const props = {
      item: { type: 'typeA', status: 'processing' },
      context: { mode: 'standard' },
    };

    const wrapper = shallow(<ItemRouter {...props} />);
    expect(wrapper.find('ComponentA1')).toExist();
  });

  // ... 30+ more component tests
});

Result: Test coverage went from 30% → 85%.
