From 7feca4d54bd2d2e32a896e17c19c8e9644699ee9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergei Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 11:44:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add debouncing for refresh buttons to prevent duplicate API calls MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implemented a reusable useDebounce hook to prevent rapid-fire clicks on refresh buttons throughout the application. Changes: - Created hooks/useDebounce.ts with configurable delay and leading/trailing edge options - Added comprehensive unit tests in hooks/__tests__/useDebounce.test.ts - Applied debouncing to dashboard WebView refresh button (app/(tabs)/dashboard.tsx) - Applied debouncing to beneficiary detail pull-to-refresh (app/(tabs)/beneficiaries/[id]/index.tsx) - Applied debouncing to equipment screen refresh (app/(tabs)/beneficiaries/[id]/equipment.tsx) - Applied debouncing to all error retry buttons (components/ui/ErrorMessage.tsx) - Fixed jest.setup.js to properly mock React Native modules - Added implementation documentation in docs/DEBOUNCE_IMPLEMENTATION.md Technical details: - Default 1-second debounce delay - Leading edge execution (immediate first call, then debounce) - Type-safe with TypeScript generics - Automatic cleanup on component unmount 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- app/(tabs)/beneficiaries/[id]/equipment.tsx | 5 +- app/(tabs)/beneficiaries/[id]/index.tsx | 5 +- app/(tabs)/dashboard.tsx | 6 +- components/ui/ErrorMessage.tsx | 9 +- docs/DEBOUNCE_IMPLEMENTATION.md | 159 +++++++++++++ hooks/__tests__/useDebounce.test.ts | 235 ++++++++++++++++++++ hooks/useDebounce.ts | 69 ++++++ jest.setup.js | 11 +- 8 files changed, 491 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/DEBOUNCE_IMPLEMENTATION.md create mode 100644 hooks/__tests__/useDebounce.test.ts create mode 100644 hooks/useDebounce.ts diff --git a/app/(tabs)/beneficiaries/[id]/equipment.tsx b/app/(tabs)/beneficiaries/[id]/equipment.tsx index b3c9722..88f2f11 100644 --- a/app/(tabs)/beneficiaries/[id]/equipment.tsx +++ b/app/(tabs)/beneficiaries/[id]/equipment.tsx @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ import { Shadows, } from '@/constants/theme';
