Refactor Review.vue Component

[berntpopp]

Description

The Review.vue component is currently too complex, making it difficult to maintain and extend. This issue aims to refactor the component by breaking it down into reusable components and improving the code structure.

Steps to Refactor

1. Extract Modals into Separate Components:

   • Create reusable components for the review, status, submit, and approve modals.
   • Each modal component should handle its own state and events.

2. Implement a Generic Table Component:

   • Create a GenericTable component that can be reused across different views.
   • Ensure that the GenericTable component supports custom columns, sorting, filtering, and pagination.

3. Move Common Logic to Mixins:

   • Extract common methods (e.g., data fetching, form handling) into mixins.
   • Ensure the mixins are reusable and cover functionalities like loading data, form validation, etc.

4. Simplify Data Fetching and State Management:

   • Use Vuex for state management to handle data fetching and state updates.
   • Ensure that the component's state is clean and minimal.

5. Improve Template Structure:

   • Refactor the template to use the new reusable components.
   • Ensure that the template is clean and easy to read.

6. Update Styles:

   • Ensure styles are scoped and applied correctly to the new components.
   • Maintain consistency in design and layout.

Proposed Components

1. Modals:

   • ReviewModal.vue
   • StatusModal.vue
   • SubmitModal.vue
   • ApproveModal.vue

2. Generic Table:

   • GenericTable.vue

3. Mixins:

   • dataFetchingMixin.js
   • formHandlingMixin.js

Implementation Plan

1. Create Modal Components:

   • Move the modal templates and related logic from Review.vue to their respective components.
   • Ensure each modal component has props and emits events for actions like save, submit, and cancel.

2. Develop GenericTable Component:

   • Create a flexible table component that accepts items, fields, and customization options as props.
   • Implement slot-based rendering for custom cell content.

3. Extract Mixins:

   • Identify common logic in Review.vue and extract it into mixins.
   • Ensure mixins are generic and reusable across different components.

4. Integrate New Components and Mixins:

   • Replace the existing table and modals in Review.vue with the new components.
   • Use the extracted mixins for data fetching and form handling.

5. Test and Validate:

   • Test the refactored component to ensure all functionalities work as expected.
   • Validate the design consistency and performance improvements.

Additional Notes

• Ensure proper documentation and comments are added to the new components and mixins.
• Consider the possibility of further breaking down components if they grow too complex.

By following these steps, the Review.vue component will be more maintainable, reusable, and easier to extend in the future.
