Scheduling Component Refactoring Summary

Overview

The Scheduling.tsx file (originally 1832 lines) has been refactored into a modular structure with reusable components, hooks, and better organization.

New Structure

scheduling-remote/src/components/
├── Scheduling.tsx                          # Backward compatibility re-export
└── scheduling/
    ├── types.ts                            # Shared types and interfaces
    ├── Scheduling.tsx                      # Main router component (~100 lines)
    ├── AvailabilityCalendar.tsx            # Availability calendar component
    ├── ui/                                 # Reusable UI components
    │   ├── BackButton.tsx                 # Back navigation button
    │   ├── SchedulingCard.tsx             # Card component for main view
    │   ├── TimeSlotModal.tsx              # Modal for adding time slots
    │   └── DropdownCurtain.tsx             # Reusable dropdown/accordion
    ├── views/                              # Main view components
    │   ├── ViewSchedule.tsx                # View schedule component
    │   ├── IndicateAvailability.tsx        # Indicate availability view
    │   └── ScheduleExperimentImpl.tsx      # Temporary wrapper (TODO: further refactor)
    └── hooks/                              # Custom hooks
        └── useConductors.ts                # Conductor management hook

What Was Extracted

1. Shared Types (types.ts)

• CalendarEvent interface
• SchedulingProps interface
• SchedulingView type
• ScheduledRepetition interface
• Re-exports of service types

2. Reusable UI Components (ui/)

• BackButton: Consistent back navigation
• SchedulingCard: Reusable card component for the main scheduling view
• TimeSlotModal: Modal for adding/editing time slots
• DropdownCurtain: Reusable accordion/dropdown component

3. View Components (views/)

• ViewSchedule: Complete schedule view (simplified, placeholder)
• IndicateAvailability: Wrapper for availability calendar
• ScheduleExperimentImpl: Temporary wrapper (original implementation still in old file)

4. Custom Hooks (hooks/)

• useConductors: Manages conductor data, selection, colors, and availability

5. Main Components

• Scheduling.tsx: Main router component (reduced from ~220 lines to ~100 lines)
• AvailabilityCalendar.tsx: Extracted availability calendar (moved from inline component)

Benefits

1. Maintainability: Each component has a single, clear responsibility
2. Reusability: UI components can be reused across different views
3. Testability: Smaller units are easier to test in isolation
4. Readability: Easier to understand and navigate the codebase
5. Organization: Clear separation of concerns

File Size Reduction

• Original Scheduling.tsx: 1832 lines
• New main Scheduling.tsx: ~100 lines (95% reduction)
• Total new structure: Better organized across multiple focused files

Backward Compatibility

The original Scheduling.tsx file is maintained for backward compatibility and re-exports the new modular component. The ScheduleExperiment function is still exported from the original file location.

TODO / Future Improvements

1. Further refactor ScheduleExperiment:

   • Extract into smaller subcomponents (ConductorPanel, ExperimentPhasePanel, etc.)
   • Create additional hooks (useExperimentPhases, useScheduling, useCalendarEvents)
   • Move implementation from old file to new structure

2. Additional reusable components:

   • Experiment item component
   • Repetition item component
   • Calendar controls component

3. Testing:

   • Add unit tests for extracted components
   • Add integration tests for hooks

Migration Notes

• All imports from ./components/Scheduling continue to work
• The new structure is in ./components/scheduling/
• No breaking changes to the public API
