refactor: eliminate all 132 circular dependency cycles in cattool JS bundle#4530
Conversation
Add madge devDependency with a 132-cycle baseline snapshot and a check script that fails on regressions and reports new cycles introduced. Run: yarn check:circular-deps Update baseline after fixes: node check-circular-deps.js --update-baseline
…ring keys Introduce a modal registry pattern to break 51 circular dependency cycles (132→81). Actions now dispatch string keys instead of component references; ModalWindow resolves them via the registry at render time. - Extract TAB, ONBOARDING_STEP, COPY_SOURCE_COOKIE constants to dedicated files - Create ModalKeys constants and modalRegistry for component resolution - Update ModalsActions, CatToolActions, SegmentActions to use string keys - Backward compatible: components can still pass refs directly
…ibling files Break parent→child circular dependencies across 13 settingsPanel component families by extracting shared symbols (contexts, utility functions, constants) into dedicated sibling files. Children now import from leaf modules instead of their parent components. 81 → 40 circular dependency cycles (51% reduction, 70% total from 132).
…bilateral cycles Break 15 circular dependency cycles (40→25) via: - OnBoarding: extract context/socialUrls to OnBoardingContext.js (5 cycles) - ActivityLog: extract context/constants to sibling files (3 cycles) - SegmentFooterTabGlossary: extract icons/constants to GlossaryConstants.js (2 cycles) - UploadFile: extract getPrintableFileSize to UploadFileUtils.js (2 cycles) - SettingsPanel: move DEFAULT_ENGINE_MEMORY to SettingsPanelConstants.js (1 cycle) - DraftMatecatUtils: extract regexWordDelimiter to textConstants.js (3 cycles) Cumulative: 132→25 (81% reduction). Plugins verified clean.
…bilateral cycle Move getIdAttributeRegEx, unescapeHTMLinTags, and unescapeHTMLRecursive into a new htmlUtils.js file to eliminate the tagUtils → textUtils → tagUtils cycle. tagUtils re-exports for backward compatibility.

Replace static imports of CatToolActions, segment_filter, translationMatches, DraftMatecatUtils, setTranslationUtil, OfflineUtils, and SegmentUtils with lazy-require getters. Updates 58+ call sites.

- replace ratchet-based baseline comparison with zero-tolerance check - delete .madge-baseline.json as baseline tracking is no longer needed - script now fails if any circular dependency exists and prints all cycles
- replace dead re-export with direct import so TAB is bound in module scope

Pull request overview
Refactors the cattool frontend bundle to eliminate circular dependency cycles (as detected by madge), and adds a CI-style guard script to prevent regressions. This is achieved via a modal key registry, extraction of constants/contexts/utilities into sibling modules, and targeted lazy require() usage at call sites.
Changes:
- Add
check-circular-deps.js+yarn check:circular-depsand includemadgeas a dev dependency. - Introduce modal key registry (
MODAL_KEY+resolveModal) and update actions to reference modals by key instead of importing components. - Break remaining cycles by extracting shared constants/contexts/utils and replacing selected static imports with lazy
require().

setTimeout(getCatToolActions().updateFooterStatistics(), 2000) calls updateFooterStatistics() immediately and passes its return value to setTimeout, so the delay never applies. Wrap the call in a function (or pass a function reference) so it runs after 2s.

Same setTimeout issue here: setTimeout(getCatToolActions().updateFooterStatistics(), 2000) executes immediately instead of after 2 seconds. Pass a callback to setTimeout so the stats refresh is actually delayed.

This script invokes madge via npx. Since madge is already a devDependency, calling the local binary (e.g., ./node_modules/.bin/madge or resolving it programmatically) avoids any reliance on npx/npm being available and prevents accidental network fetches in constrained CI environments.

- Replace local createContext in TranslationMemoryGlossaryTab with import from extracted TranslationMemoryGlossaryTabContext module to ensure parent and children share the same context object - Fix QualityFrameworkTab test waitFor assertions that compared array to number (always true), making them actually wait for async API data to load - Add explicit ApplicationWrapperContext import to QualityFrameworkTab test to initialize window.eventHandler, previously loaded as side effect through ModalsActions transitive import chain - Remove dead re-exports of extracted context objects from both QualityFrameworkTab and TranslationMemoryGlossaryTab - Remove unused createContext imports
Summary
Eliminates all 132 circular dependency cycles detected by madge in the cattool JS bundle, bringing the count to 0. Adds a zero-tolerance checker (
yarn check:circular-deps) to prevent regressions.Motivation
Circular dependencies cause subtle bugs (modules evaluating to
undefinedat import time), make the dependency graph harder to reason about, and block future migration to Vite/ESM which enforces stricter module resolution.Approach
Four complementary techniques, applied in order of decreasing structural impact:
1. Modal Registry Pattern (132 → 81 cycles)
Actions were importing React components just to pass them to
ModalsActions.showModalComponent(). Replaced with a string-key registry — actions register component names, the modal root resolves them at render time. Zero runtime behaviour change.2. Sibling File Extractions (81 → 25 cycles)
Extracted constants, contexts, and utilities that were defined inside parent components but imported by children, creating parent→child→parent cycles:
SettingsPanel→ 13 new sibling files (contexts, utils, constants)DraftMatecatUtils/tagUtils→htmlUtils.jsSegmentConstants→SegmentTabConstants.js3. Lazy-Require Pattern (25 → 0 cycles)
For bilateral hub cycles (e.g.,
SegmentActions ↔ SegmentStore) where structural extraction wasn't practical, replaced staticimportwith deferredrequire()at the call site:Every lazy-require block has a comment explaining why
require()is used. madge (and future Vite) only traces staticimport— the cycle is broken for tooling while webpack still resolves the module correctly at runtime.4. CI Guard
check-circular-deps.js— runsmadge --circularand fails if any cycle is found. Invoked viayarn check:circular-deps. Zero-tolerance: no baseline file, no ratchet — any cycle is a failure.Files Changed
