Feature/1484 modal to encourage starring the repo #1517
Conversation
WalkthroughThe pull request introduces a new feature in the Sidebar component that adds a promotional section encouraging users to star the project on GitHub. The implementation uses React state and local storage to manage the visibility of this promotional box. When the sidebar loads, it checks local storage to determine whether the star repository prompt should be displayed. Users can dismiss the prompt, which will prevent it from reappearing in future sessions. Changes

525-586: Promotional Box: A Rap for the Repos
- The container’s styling and text stand tall like a champion on stage.
- Crisp theming calls from MUI keep your code sweet and consistent.
- The link to the GitHub repo, coupled with the star badge, encourages more eyes on the project—like throwing your hands up in the front row.
- IconButton to close stands out with no distractions, letting your star promotional shine until the user decides otherwise.
All that said, a friendly note: watch for potential performance hits if there are many sidebars or repeated
useStatesdown the line. Still, no sweaty palms needed here—this approach is performing well.

Auto Pull Request Review from LlamaPReview
1. Overview
1.1 PR Summary
- Business value and requirements alignment: The PR aims to encourage users to star the repository by adding a modal to the sidebar. This aligns with the business requirement of increasing the project's visibility and community engagement.
- Key components modified: The PR modifies the
Client/src/Components/Sidebar/index.jsxfile, which is responsible for rendering the sidebar component in the application. - Impact assessment: The PR has a low impact on the system, as it only modifies the client-side application. However, it may affect the user interface and user experience (UI/UX) of the application.
- System dependencies and integration impacts: The PR does not introduce any new dependencies or integrations. However, it does use local storage to remember the user's preference not to show the modal again, which could lead to data consistency concerns if not handled properly.
2. Detailed Technical Analysis
2.1 Code Logic Deep-Dive
Core Logic Changes
-
Client/src/Components/Sidebar/index.jsx -
handleCloseStarRepofunction- Submitted PR Code:
const handleCloseStarRepo = () => { setShowStarRepo(false); localStorage.setItem("starRepoClosed", "true"); };
- Analysis:
- The
handleCloseStarRepofunction is responsible for closing the star repo modal and storing the user's preference not to show the modal again using local storage. - The current logic is straightforward and should work as expected. However, it does not handle any edge cases, such as what happens if the user has already closed the modal and tries to close it again, or if the local storage operation fails.
- The use of local storage for this purpose is generally acceptable, but it could lead to data inconsistencies if the user clears their browser cache or uses multiple devices.
- The
- LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:
const handleCloseStarRepo = async () => { setShowStarRepo(false); try { await localStorage.setItem("starRepoClosed", "true"); } catch (error) { console.error("Failed to store user preference:", error); // Consider showing an error message to the user or taking other appropriate action } };
- Improvement rationale:
- Adding
asyncto the function signature allows us to useawaitwithlocalStorage.setItem, which makes the code more readable and easier to reason about. - Wrapping the local storage operation in a try-catch block ensures that any errors are properly handled and do not cause the function to fail silently.
- Logging the error to the console allows us to debug any issues that may arise. Additionally, showing an error message to the user or taking other appropriate action can help ensure that the user is aware of the issue and can take appropriate action.

useEffecthook for showing the star repo modal- Submitted PR Code:
useEffect(() => { const hasClosed = localStorage.getItem("starRepoClosed"); if (hasClosed) { setShowStarRepo(false); } }, []);
- Analysis:
- The
useEffecthook is responsible for checking if the user has previously closed the star repo modal and, if so, not showing it again. - The current logic is straightforward and should work as expected. However, it does not handle any edge cases, such as what happens if the local storage operation fails or if the local storage item has an unexpected value.
- The use of an empty dependency array (
[]) means that this effect will only run once, when the component mounts. This is generally acceptable for this use case.
- The
- LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:
useEffect(() => { const showModal = async () => { try { const hasClosed = await localStorage.getItem("starRepoClosed"); if (hasClosed === "true") { setShowStarRepo(false); } } catch (error) { console.error("Failed to retrieve user preference:", error); // Consider showing an error message to the user or taking other appropriate action } }; showModal(); }, []);
- Improvement rationale:
- Wrapping the local storage operation in a try-catch block ensures that any errors are properly handled and do not cause the function to fail silently.
- Logging the error to the console allows us to debug any issues that may arise. Additionally, showing an error message to the user or taking other appropriate action can help ensure that the user is aware of the issue and can take appropriate action.
- Naming the function
showModalmakes the code more self-documenting and easier to understand.
- Submitted PR Code:
-
Client/src/Components/Sidebar/index.jsx -
showStarRepostate variable- Submitted PR Code:
const [showStarRepo, setShowStarRepo] = useState(true);
- Analysis:
- The
showStarRepostate variable is responsible for determining whether the star repo modal is shown or not. - The initial value of
truemeans that the modal will be shown by default. This is generally acceptable, but it could be improved by making the initial value configurable or based on some other criteria.
- The
- LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:
const [showStarRepo, setShowStarRepo] = useState(() => { const hasClosed = localStorage.getItem("starRepoClosed"); return hasClosed !== "true"; });
- Improvement rationale:
- Using a function as the initial value for the state allows us to make the initial value configurable or based on some other criteria. In this case, we use local storage to check if the user has previously closed the modal and, if so, do not show it again.
- This approach ensures that the modal is only shown if the user has not previously closed it, without the need for an additional
useEffecthook.
- Submitted PR Code:

useEffecthook for resetting theshowStarRepostate- Submitted PR Code:
useEffect(() => { return () => { localStorage.removeItem("starRepoClosed"); }; }, []);
- Analysis:
- The
useEffecthook is responsible for resetting thestarRepoClosedlocal storage item when the component unmounts. This ensures that the user's preference not to show the modal again is not persisted between sessions. - The current logic is straightforward and should work as expected. However, it does not handle any edge cases, such as what happens if the local storage operation fails.
- The use of an empty dependency array (
[]) means that this effect will only run once, when the component unmounts. This is generally acceptable for this use case.

2.2 Implementation Quality
- The PR follows best practices for React component implementation, using functional components and hooks.
- The use of Material-UI (MUI) components for the modal and its functionality is generally acceptable, but it could introduce additional dependencies and potential security risks if the MUI library is not properly secured or updated.
- The use of local storage for user preferences is generally acceptable, but it could lead to data inconsistencies if the user clears their browser cache or uses multiple devices.
3. Critical Findings

Visually the addition looks good to me, thanks for putting in the work!
I have some concerns with regards to the use of theme, and specifically with overriding values that are set in the theme.
Please confirm with the frontend team, sepcifically @marcelluscaio , but I don't believe that's the best approach here.
Aside from that the solution to flagging whether or not the user has closed the modal is incomplete and will need a bit more work to be complete.

This is an insufficient solution for whether or not a user has closed the star repo modal. If the user uses a different device/browser or clears their browser data the repo will show again.
A complete solution would require a server side implementation, ie storing a flag in the User model in the database, and persisting that state in the Redux store on the front end with the rest of the user data.
update
For the purposes of this PR we can accept this solution, please add a TODO comment noting that the solution is incomplete and will eventually need to be addressed. Thank you!

Spacing seems an semantically incorrect value to use for height. It would also probably be ideal to use a relative height here as well.

Is there some reason not to use the defined font sizes?
const typographyLevels = {
base: typographyBase,
xs: `${(typographyBase - 4) / 16}rem`,
s: `${(typographyBase - 2) / 16}rem`,
m: `${typographyBase / 16}rem`,
l: `${(typographyBase + 2) / 16}rem`,
xl: `${(typographyBase + 10) / 16}rem`,
};
Why are we overriding the theme typography levels? This appears to be an anti-pattern to me, to first have sizes set in the theme and then override them?

@dikjain the credentials haven't changed, you should be able to login. But we require each developer to deploy it locally and test it themselves and not rely on the demo server. If you haven't done so, make sure you run the application first locally. |
