# Dify Component Refactoring Skill
Refactor high-complexity React components in the Dify frontend codebase with the patterns and workflow below.
> **Complexity Threshold**: Components with complexity > 50 (measured by `pnpm analyze-component`) should be refactored before testing.
## Quick Reference
### Commands (run from `web/`)
Use paths relative to `web/` (e.g., `app/components/...`).
Use `refactor-component` for refactoring prompts and `analyze-component` for testing prompts and metrics.
```bash
cd web
# Generate refactoring prompt
pnpm refactor-component <path>
# Output refactoring analysis as JSON
pnpm refactor-component <path> --json
# Generate testing prompt (after refactoring)
pnpm analyze-component <path>
# Output testing analysis as JSON
pnpm analyze-component <path> --json
```
### Complexity Analysis
```bash
# Analyze component complexity
pnpm analyze-component <path> --json
# Key metrics to check:
# - complexity: normalized score 0-100 (target < 50)
# - maxComplexity: highest single function complexity
# - lineCount: total lines (target < 300)
```
### Complexity Score Interpretation
| Score | Level | Action |
|-------|-------|--------|
| 0-25 | 🟢 Simple | Ready for testing |
| 26-50 | 🟡 Medium | Consider minor refactoring |
| 51-75 | 🟠 Complex | **Refactor before testing** |
| 76-100 | 🔴 Very Complex | **Must refactor** |
## 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`.
```typescript
// ❌ 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>
}
```
**Dify Examples**:
- `web/app/components/app/configuration/hooks/use-advanced-prompt-config.ts`
- `web/app/components/app/configuration/debug/hooks.tsx`
- `web/app/components/workflow/hooks/use-workflow.ts`
### Pattern 2: Extract Sub-Components
**When**: Single component has multiple UI sections, conditional rendering blocks, or repeated patterns.
**Dify Convention**: Place sub-components in subdirectories or as separate files in the same directory.
```typescript
// ❌ 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>
)
}
```
**Dify Examples**:
- `web/app/components/app/configuration/` directory structure
- `web/app/components/workflow/nodes/` per-node organization
### Pattern 3: Simplify Conditional Logic
**When**: Deep nesting (> 3 levels), complex ternaries, or multiple `if/else` chains.
```typescript
// ❌ Before: Deeply nested conditionals
const Template = useMemo(() => {
if (appDetail?.mode === AppModeEnum.CHAT) {
switch (locale) {
case LanguagesSupported[1]:
return <TemplateChatZh />
case LanguagesSupported[7]:
return <TemplateChatJa />
default:
return <TemplateChatEn />
}
}
if (appDetail?.mode === AppModeEnum.ADVANCED_CHAT) {
// Another 15 lines...
}
// More conditions...
}, [appDetail, locale])
// ✅ After: Use lookup tables + early returns
const TEMPLATE_MAP = {
[AppModeEnum.CHAT]: {
[LanguagesSupported[1]]: TemplateChatZh,
[LanguagesSupported[7]]: TemplateChatJa,
default: TemplateChatEn,
},
[AppModeEnum.ADVANCED_CHAT]: {
[LanguagesSupported[1]]: TemplateAdvancedChatZh,
// ...
},
}
const Template = useMemo(() => {
const modeTemplates = TEMPLATE_MAP[appDetail?.mode]
if (!modeTemplates) return null
const TemplateComponent = modeTemplates[locale] || modeTemplates.default
return <TemplateComponent appDetail={appDetail} />
}, [appDetail, locale])
```
### Pattern 4: Extract API/Data Logic
**When**: Component directly handles API calls, data transformation, or complex async operations.
**Dify Convention**: Use `@tanstack/react-query` hooks from `web/service/use-*.ts` or create custom data hooks.
```typescript
// ❌ Before: API logic in component
const MCPServiceCard = () => {
const [basicAppConfig, setBasicAppConfig] = useState({})
useEffect(() => {
if (isBasicApp && appId) {
(async () => {
const res = await fetchAppDetail({ url: '/apps', id: appId })
setBasicAppConfig(res?.model_config || {})
})()
}
}, [appId, isBasicApp])
// More API-related logic...
}
// ✅ After: Extract to data hook using React Query
// use-app-config.ts
import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query'
import { get } from '@/service/base'
const NAME_SPACE = 'appConfig'
export const useAppConfig = (appId: string, isBasicApp: boolean) => {
return useQuery({
enabled: isBasicApp && !!appId,
queryKey: [NAME_SPACE, 'detail', appId],
queryFn: () => get<AppDetailResponse>(`/apps/${appId}`),
select: data => data?.model_config || {},
})
}
// Component becomes cleaner
const MCPServiceCard = () => {
const { data: config, isLoading } = useAppConfig(appId, isBasicApp)
// UI only
}
```
**React Query Best Practices in Dify**:
- Define `NAME_SPACE` for query key organization
- Use `enabled` option for conditional fetching
- Use `select` for data transformation
- Export invalidation hooks: `useInvalidXxx`
**Dify Examples**:
- `web/service/use-workflow.ts`
- `web/service/use-common.ts`
- `web/service/knowledge/use-dataset.ts`
- `web/service/knowledge/use-document.ts`
### Pattern 5: Extract Modal/Dialog Management
**When**: Component manages multiple modals with complex open/close states.
**Dify Convention**: Modals should be extracted with their state management.
```typescript
// ❌ Before: Multiple modal states in component
const AppInfo = () => {
const [showEditModal, setShowEditModal] = useState(false)
const [showDuplicateModal, setShowDuplicateModal] = useState(false)
const [showConfirmDelete, setShowConfirmDelete] = useState(false)
const [showSwitchModal, setShowSwitchModal] = useState(false)
const [showImportDSLModal, setShowImportDSLModal] = useState(false)
// 5+ more modal states...
}
// ✅ After: Extract to modal management hook
type ModalType = 'edit' | 'duplicate' | 'delete' | 'switch' | 'import' | null
const useAppInfoModals = () => {
const [activeModal, setActiveModal] = useState<ModalType>(null)
const openModal = useCallback((type: ModalType) => setActiveModal(type), [])
const closeModal = useCallback(() => setActiveModal(null), [])
return {
activeModal,
openModal,
closeModal,
isOpen: (type: ModalType) => activeModal === type,
}
}
```
### Pattern 6: Extract Form Logic
**When**: Complex form validation, submission handling, or field transformation.
**Dify Convention**: Use `@tanstack/react-form` patterns from `web/app/components/base/form/`.
```typescript
// ✅ Use existing form infrastructure
import { useAppForm } from '@/app/components/base/form'
const ConfigForm = () => {
const form = useAppForm({
defaultValues: { name: '', description: '' },
onSubmit: handleSubmit,
})
return <form.Provider>...</form.Provider>
}
```
## Dify-Specific Refactoring Guidelines
### 1. Context Provider Extraction
**When**: Component provides complex context values with multiple states.
```typescript
// ❌ Before: Large context value object
const value = {
appId, isAPIKeySet, isTrailFinished, mode, modelModeType,
promptMode, isAdvancedMode, isAgent, isOpenAI, isFunctionCall,
// 50+ more properties...
}
return <ConfigContext.Provider value={value}>...</ConfigContext.Provider>
// ✅ After: Split into domain-specific contexts
<ModelConfigProvider value={modelConfigValue}>
<DatasetConfigProvider value={datasetConfigValue}>
<UIConfigProvider value={uiConfigValue}>
{children}
</UIConfigProvider>
</DatasetConfigProvider>
</ModelConfigProvider>
```
**Dify Reference**: `web/context/` directory structure
### 2. Workflow Node Components
**When**: Refactoring workflow node components (`web/app/components/workflow/nodes/`).
**Conventions**:
- Keep node logic in `use-interactions.ts`
- Extract panel UI to separate files
- Use `_base` components for common patterns
```
nodes/<node-type>/
├── index.tsx # Node registration
├── node.tsx # Node visual component
├── panel.tsx # Configuration panel
├── use-interactions.ts # Node-specific hooks
└── types.ts # Type definitions
```
### 3. Configuration Components
**When**: Refactoring app configuration components.
**Conventions**:
- Separate config sections into subdirectories
- Use existing patterns from `web/app/components/app/configuration/`
- Keep feature toggles in dedicated components
### 4. Tool/Plugin Components
**When**: Refactoring tool-related components (`web/app/components/tools/`).
**Conventions**:
- Follow existing modal patterns
- Use service hooks from `web/service/use-tools.ts`
- Keep provider-specific logic isolated
## Refactoring Workflow
### Step 1: Generate Refactoring Prompt
```bash
pnpm refactor-component <path>
```
This command will:
- Analyze component complexity and features
- Identify specific refactoring actions needed
- Generate a prompt for AI assistant (auto-copied to clipboard on macOS)
- Provide detailed requirements based on detected patterns
### Step 2: Analyze Details
```bash
pnpm analyze-component <path> --json
```
Identify:
- Total complexity score
- Max function complexity
- Line count
- Features detected (state, effects, API, etc.)
### Step 3: Plan
Create a refactoring plan based on detected features:
| Detected Feature | Refactoring Action |
|------------------|-------------------|
| `hasState: true` + `hasEffects: true` | Extract custom hook |
| `hasAPI: true` | Extract data/service hook |
| `hasEvents: true` (many) | Extract event handlers |
| `lineCount > 300` | Split into sub-components |
| `maxComplexity > 50` | Simplify conditional logic |
### Step 4: Execute Incrementally
1. **Extract one piece at a time**
2. **Run lint, type-check, and tests after each extraction**
3. **Verify functionality before next step**
```
For each extraction:
┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Extract code │
│ 2. Run: pnpm lint:fix │
│ 3. Run: pnpm type-check:tsgo │
│ 4. Run: pnpm test │
│ 5. Test functionality manually │
│ 6. PASS? → Next extraction │
│ FAIL? → Fix before continuing │
└────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Step 5: Verify
After refactoring:
```bash
# Re-run refactor command to verify improvements
pnpm refactor-component <path>
# If complexity < 25 and lines < 200, you'll see:
# ✅ COMPONENT IS WELL-STRUCTURED
# For detailed metrics:
pnpm analyze-component <path> --json
# Target metrics:
# - complexity < 50
# - lineCount < 300
# - maxComplexity < 30
```
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
### ❌ Over-Engineering
```typescript
// ❌ Too many tiny hooks
const useButtonText = () => useState('Click')
const useButtonDisabled = () => useState(false)
const useButtonLoading = () => useState(false)
// ✅ Cohesive hook with related state
const useButtonState = () => {
const [text, setText] = useState('Click')
const [disabled, setDisabled] = useState(false)
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false)
return { text, setText, disabled, setDisabled, loading, setLoading }
}
```
### ❌ Breaking Existing Patterns
- Follow existing directory structures
- Maintain naming conventions
- Preserve export patterns for compatibility
### ❌ Premature Abstraction
- Only extract when there's clear complexity benefit
- Don't create abstractions for single-use code
- Keep refactored code in the same domain area
