Refactor questions/[id].tsx - 527-line monolith combining 8 responsibilities #164

Description

@amaydixit11

Issue

src/pages/questions/[id].tsx is 527 lines of JSX + TypeScript combining:

  • Data fetching (Firestore getDoc for problem)
  • Code execution (API call to execute code)
  • Codeforces submission verification
  • AI Hint generation and display
  • Comment section
  • Streak tracking
  • State management for 15+ useState hooks

Problems

  1. Hard to test - This component cannot be unit tested in isolation
  2. Performance - Every state change re-renders the entire page
  3. Maintainability - Adding a new feature (like hints) required touching 400+ lines of existing code

Suggestion

Extract into composable hooks and components:

  • useProblem(questionId) - Fetches and caches problem data
  • useCodeExecution(language, code, testCases) - handles run/submit
  • useAiHints(questionId) - handles hint fetching and coin deduction
  • <ProblemDescription> - Left panel with problem text
  • <CodeEditor> - IDE-like component
  • <SubmissionHistory> - Past submissions list
  • <CommentsSection> - Threaded discussion
