ToolVisualizer: 4-Phase Refactoring and Build Optimization

Session Date: 2025-11-17 Project: ToolVisualizer - Code Directory Visualization Tool Focus: Eliminate 27,424+ lines of duplicate code and implement incremental build caching Git Repository: git@github.com:aledlie/ToolVizualizer.git

Executive Summary

Successfully completed a comprehensive 4-phase refactoring of the ToolVisualizer HTML generation system, eliminating over 27,424 lines of duplicate code across 254 generated files and improving build performance by 54%. The refactoring transformed a monolithic generation system with extensive code duplication into a modern, modular architecture using Jinja2 templates, ES6 JavaScript modules, and SHA256-based incremental caching.

Key Results:

  • Code Reduction: 27,424+ duplicate lines eliminated
  • Build Performance: 2.16s → 1.00s (54% faster with cache)
  • Maintainability: Template changes now propagate to all 252 pages automatically
  • Architecture: Monolithic JavaScript → 5 focused ES6 modules
  • Test Coverage: Added 55 new tests (359 total passing)

Problem Statement

The ToolVisualizer project generates 252 HTML pages (126 directory pages + 126 mindmap pages) from JSON schemas. The original implementation had severe code duplication issues:

  1. Tracking Scripts Duplication: 254 copies of Meta Pixel, GTM, and GA4 tracking code
  2. Navbar Duplication: 254 copies of navigation bar HTML
  3. Mindmap Code Duplication: 10,360 lines of inline mindmap initialization code despite having a shared utility
  4. Monolithic JavaScript: Single large main.js file with no modularization
  5. Full Rebuilds: Every build regenerated all 252 files regardless of changes

Total Impact: ~27,424 lines of duplicate code making maintenance difficult and builds slow.

Implementation Details

Phase 1: Template-Based Generation System

Problem: 254 HTML files contained duplicated tracking scripts, navbar, and page structure.

Solution: Implemented Jinja2 template system with component-based architecture.

Files Created

public/templates/base.html - Base template with progressive enhancement

    <script nomodule src="{{ js_path }}"></script>
</body>
</html>

public/templates/directory.html - Directory page template

  • Extends base.html
  • Three-tabbed interface: Overview, Files, Mindmap
  • Uses template variables for stats and files content
  • Integrated Chart.js for visualizations

public/templates/components/tracking_scripts.html - Centralized tracking

  • Meta Pixel Code
  • Google Tag Manager
  • Google Analytics 4

public/templates/components/navbar.html - Centralized navigation

  • ToolVisualizer branding
  • Theme toggle button
  • Responsive design

generate_ui_pages_v2.py - Jinja2-based generator

from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader, select_autoescape

template_dir = Path('public/templates')
env = Environment(
    loader=FileSystemLoader(template_dir),
    autoescape=select_autoescape(['html', 'xml']),
    trim_blocks=True,
    lstrip_blocks=True
)

def generate_page_html(directory_name, schema_data, depth=0):
    context = {
        'directory_name': directory_name,
        'css_path': '../' * (depth + 1) + 'css/styles.css',
        'stats_cards': generate_stats_cards_html(statistics),
        'files_content': generate_files_content_html(has_part),
        # ... more context
    }
    template = env.get_template('directory.html')
    return template.render(**context)

Phase 1 Results

  • Tracking scripts: 254 copies → 1 component
  • Navbar: 254 copies → 1 component
  • Maintainability: Changes propagate automatically to all pages

Phase 2: Mindmap Utility Consolidation

Problem: public/shared/mindmap-utils.js existed but was never used. Each of 126 mindmap pages had inline initialization code (10,360+ duplicate lines).

Solution: Created mindmap template to use shared utility.

Files Created

public/templates/mindmap.html

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block extra_scripts %}
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vis-network/standalone/umd/vis-network.min.js"></script>
<script src="../shared/mindmap-utils.js"></script>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    const nodes = {{ mindmap_nodes }};
    const edges = {{ mindmap_edges }};
    initMindmap(nodes, edges, 'mindmap-container');
});
</script>
{% endblock %}

Files Modified

generate_ui_pages_v2.py - Added mindmap generation

def generate_mindmap_html(directory_name, schema_data, depth=0):
    context = {
        'directory_name': directory_name,
        'mindmap_nodes': json.dumps(generate_mindmap_nodes(directory_name, statistics)),
        'mindmap_edges': json.dumps(generate_mindmap_edges(statistics))
    }
    template = env.get_template('mindmap.html')
    return template.render(**context)

Phase 2 Results

  • Eliminated 10,360 lines of duplicate mindmap code
  • Mindmap pages reduced from 242 to 140 lines (42% smaller)
  • Single source of truth for mindmap visualization

Phase 3: JavaScript Modularization

Problem: Monolithic main.js with all functionality in one file, no code reuse.

Solution: Split into ES6 modules with progressive enhancement fallback.

Files Created

Module Structure:

public/js/
├── main.js (fallback for older browsers)
├── main-modular.js (ES6 entry point)
└── modules/
    ├── theme.js (21 lines)
    ├── loading.js (61 lines)
    ├── stats.js (125 lines)
    ├── search.js (140 lines)
    └── navigation.js (25 lines)

export function initThemeToggle() {
    const themeToggle = document.getElementById('theme-toggle');
    const currentTheme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light';
    document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', currentTheme);

    themeToggle.addEventListener('click', () => {
        const theme = document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-theme');
        const newTheme = theme === 'light' ? 'dark' : 'light';
        document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', newTheme);
        localStorage.setItem('theme', newTheme);
    });
}

import { showLoadingState, hideLoadingState, showErrorState } from './loading.js';

export async function loadStats() {
    try {
        showLoadingState();
        const stats = await window.apiClient.getStats();
        updateStatsDisplay(stats);
        hideLoadingState();
    } catch (error) {
        showErrorState(error);
    }
}

public/js/main-modular.js - ES6 module entry point

import { initThemeToggle } from './modules/theme.js';
import { initStatsLoading } from './modules/stats.js';
import { initDirectorySearch } from './modules/search.js';
import { initNavigation } from './modules/navigation.js';

initThemeToggle();
initStatsLoading();
initDirectorySearch();
initNavigation();

Progressive Enhancement in Templates

public/templates/base.html updated:

<!-- Modern browsers: ES6 modules -->
<script type="module" src="{{ js_path.replace('main.js', 'main-modular.js') }}"></script>

<!-- Legacy browsers: Fallback to bundled script -->
<script nomodule src="{{ js_path }}"></script>

Phase 3 Results

  • Better code organization with single responsibility modules
  • Modern browsers: ES6 modules with import/export
  • Legacy browsers: Fallback to bundled main.js
  • Easier testing and maintenance

Phase 4: Incremental Build Caching

Problem: Full rebuild of all 252 files took 2.16s even when nothing changed.

Solution: Implemented SHA256-based caching system.

Phase 4 Results

Performance Improvements:

  • Initial build: 2.16s (252 files rebuilt)
  • Cached build: 1.00s (252 files skipped) - 54% faster
  • Selective rebuild: Only rebuilds changed schemas + their mindmaps
  • Force rebuild: 2.72s (all files rebuilt)

Cache Features:

  • Content-based invalidation (SHA256 hashing, not timestamp)
  • Template change detection (rebuilds all if templates change)
  • Schema change detection (rebuilds only affected files)
  • Cache statistics: Shows entries and last build time
  • Cache management: Clear cache command

CLI Usage:

# Normal build (uses cache)
python3 generate_ui_pages_v2.py

# Force rebuild all files
python3 generate_ui_pages_v2.py --force

# View cache statistics
python3 generate_ui_pages_v2.py --cache-stats

# Clear cache
python3 generate_ui_pages_v2.py --clear-cache

Key Decisions and Trade-offs

Decision 1: Jinja2 vs Custom Templating

Chosen: Jinja2 Rationale:

  • Industry-standard Python templating engine
  • Excellent template inheritance and component inclusion
  • Auto-escaping for security
  • Better than building custom solution

Trade-off: Added Python dependency, but worth it for maintainability

Decision 2: ES6 Modules with Progressive Enhancement

Chosen: ES6 modules + nomodule fallback Rationale:

  • Modern module system for 95%+ of browsers
  • Better code organization and reusability
  • Graceful degradation for legacy browsers

Trade-off: Need to maintain two versions, but templates make this automatic

Decision 3: SHA256 Hashing vs Timestamps

Chosen: SHA256 content-based hashing Rationale:

  • More reliable than timestamps (handles git checkouts, file copies)
  • Detects actual content changes, not just time changes
  • Industry standard for content verification

Trade-off: Slightly slower hash calculation, but negligible for 252 files

Decision 4: Template Dependency Tracking

Chosen: Track all templates, rebuild all if any template changes Rationale:

  • Templates are shared across all pages
  • Any template change affects all output
  • Simple and safe approach

Alternative Considered: Fine-grained per-page template tracking Rejected: Too complex for minimal benefit (template changes are rare)


Challenges and Solutions

Challenge 1: Mindmap Utility Never Used

Problem: Discovered public/shared/mindmap-utils.js existed but 126 mindmap pages all had inline initialization code.

Root Cause: Original generator didn’t have template system, so copy-paste was easier.

Solution: Created mindmap.html template that properly uses shared utility.

Lesson: Always check for existing utilities before duplicating code.

Challenge 2: Progressive Enhancement Implementation

Problem: How to load ES6 modules with fallback for older browsers?

Investigation: Researched browser support for type="module" and nomodule attributes.

Solution:

<script type="module" src="main-modular.js"></script>
<script nomodule src="main.js"></script>

Result: Modern browsers load modular code, legacy browsers use bundled fallback.

Challenge 3: Cache Invalidation Logic

Problem: When should files be rebuilt?

Considerations:

  • Schema file changes → rebuild that schema only
  • Template changes → rebuild all (templates are shared)
  • Missing output files → rebuild
  • Force flag → rebuild all

Solution: Implemented hierarchical checking:

  1. Check if output exists (if not, rebuild)
  2. Check schema hash (if changed, rebuild)
  3. Check template hash (if changed, rebuild)
  4. Otherwise, use cache

Validation: Tested all scenarios successfully.


Performance Metrics

Build Time Comparison

Scenario Time Files Rebuilt Files Cached Improvement
Initial Build 2.16s 252 0 Baseline
Cached Build 1.00s 0 252 54% faster
Force Rebuild 2.72s 252 0 Slightly slower
Selective (1 file) ~1.02s 2 250 53% faster

Cache Hit Rate

  • First build: 0% (cache empty)
  • Subsequent builds: 100% (no changes)
  • After schema change: 99.2% (251/252 cached)
  • After template change: 0% (all invalidated)

Code Reduction

Metric Before After Reduction
Tracking Scripts Copies 254 1 -99.6%
Navbar Copies 254 1 -99.6%
Mindmap Init Lines 10,360 61 -99.4%
Total Duplicate Lines 27,424+ ~200 -99.3%

File Size Reduction

Page Type Before After Change
Directory Pages Variable Consistent More maintainable
Mindmap Pages 242 lines 140 lines -42%

Architecture Improvements

Before Refactoring

generate_ui_pages.py (monolithic)
    ↓
Inline HTML generation with f-strings
    ↓
254 HTML files with duplicate code
    ↓
Monolithic main.js loaded on every page

Problems:

  • Changes require editing generator and regenerating all files
  • No code reuse between pages
  • Difficult to maintain consistency
  • Slow builds (always full rebuild)

After Refactoring

generate_ui_pages_v2.py (template-based)
    ↓
Jinja2 Templates (base.html, components)
    ├── directory.html template
    ├── mindmap.html template
    └── Components (tracking_scripts.html, navbar.html)
    ↓
252 HTML files (generated from templates)
    ↓
ES6 Modules (progressive enhancement)
    ├── Modern browsers: main-modular.js + modules/
    └── Legacy browsers: main.js (fallback)
    ↓
Build Cache (SHA256-based)
    ├── Content-based invalidation
    └── Template dependency tracking

Benefits:

  • Template changes propagate automatically
  • Single source of truth for all components
  • Modular, testable JavaScript
  • Fast incremental builds
  • Maintainable architecture

Next Steps and Future Enhancements

Immediate Follow-ups

  • Monitor production build times with new caching system
  • Add build cache metrics to CI/CD pipeline
  • Consider adding cache warming for cold starts

Future Optimizations

  • Implement parallel file generation for faster builds
  • Add template pre-compilation for even faster rendering
  • Create build performance dashboard
  • Add cache analytics (hit rate, rebuild patterns)

Technical Debt Items

  • Consider migrating from Python to Node.js generator for consistency
  • Evaluate need for CSS modularization (similar to JavaScript)
  • Investigate WebAssembly for faster hashing
  • Add linting for Jinja2 templates

Feature Enhancements

  • Add watch mode for automatic rebuilds during development
  • Implement partial page updates (AJAX-based)
  • Add build progress indicators for large projects
  • Create template linting and validation

Lessons Learned

1. Always Check for Existing Utilities

The mindmap utility existed but was never used. A quick codebase search revealed the duplication before starting Phase 2.

Takeaway: Audit existing code before implementing new solutions.

2. Template Systems Eliminate Duplication

Jinja2’s component system turned 254 copies of tracking scripts into 1 reusable component.

Takeaway: Invest in proper templating early to avoid duplication.

3. Progressive Enhancement Works

ES6 modules with nomodule fallback provides modern code for 95%+ users while supporting legacy browsers.

Takeaway: Don’t abandon older browsers, use progressive enhancement.

4. Content-Based Caching is Superior

SHA256 hashing is more reliable than timestamps for cache invalidation.

Takeaway: Use content hashing for build caches, not file timestamps.

5. Test Coverage Drives Quality

Writing 55 new tests uncovered edge cases and validated all 4 phases.

Takeaway: Comprehensive tests catch issues before production.

6. Incremental Improvements Compound

Four focused phases were easier than one massive refactor.

Takeaway: Break large refactorings into phases with clear goals.

Summary

This 4-phase refactoring successfully transformed the ToolVisualizer HTML generation system from a monolithic, duplication-heavy implementation into a modern, modular architecture. The combination of Jinja2 templates, ES6 modules, and SHA256-based caching eliminated over 27,424 lines of duplicate code while improving build performance by 54%.

The refactoring demonstrates the value of systematic code improvements: each phase built on the previous one, and the final result is far more maintainable than the original implementation. Template changes now propagate automatically to all 252 pages, JavaScript is modular and testable, and builds are fast thanks to intelligent caching.

Total Impact:

  • 📉 27,424+ duplicate lines eliminated (99.3% reduction)
  • 54% faster builds with caching (2.16s → 1.00s)
  • 🧪 55 new tests added (359 total passing)
  • 📚 Single source of truth for all shared components
  • 🏗️ Modern architecture with templates, modules, and caching

The project is now positioned for continued growth with a solid, maintainable foundation.
