Walkthrough

The cycle list item component was simplified by removing unused hook variables. Two new date formatting functions were added to the utilities module, providing standardized payload formatting and a safe user-friendly formatter with fallback support.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
web/core/components/cycles/list/cycle-list-item-action.tsx Removed unused imports and hook variables; simplified destructuring.
packages/utils/src/datetime.ts Added renderFormattedPayloadDate and renderSafeFormattedDate functions for standardized and safe date formatting.

Poem

A rabbit hops through fields of time,
Dates now formatted, looking sublime.
With helpers new, the code is neat,
No more invalid dates to greet!
So raise your paws, let’s celebrate—
Refactored dates now look first-rate!

479-512: LGTM! Robust implementation with comprehensive fallback handling.

The function effectively addresses the timezone conversion issues mentioned in the PR objectives by leveraging the existing renderFormattedPayloadDate and getDate utilities that handle timezone-safe parsing. The defensive programming approach with multiple validation layers and try-catch error handling ensures reliable date formatting.

Consider this minor optimization to reduce the double conversion overhead:

export const renderSafeFormattedDate = (
  date: Date | string | undefined | null,
  formatToken: string = "MMM dd, yyyy",
  fallback: string = "Invalid date"
): string => {
  if (!date) return fallback;

-  // Use renderFormattedPayloadDate to get a properly formatted payload date
-  const payloadDate = renderFormattedPayloadDate(date);
-
-  // If renderFormattedPayloadDate returns undefined/null, return fallback
-  if (!payloadDate) return fallback;
-
  try {
-    // Parse and format the payload date
-    const parsedDate = getDate(payloadDate);
+    // Parse the date directly using the timezone-safe getDate function
+    const parsedDate = getDate(date);
    if (!parsedDate || !isValid(parsedDate)) return fallback;

    return format(parsedDate, formatToken);
  } catch (error) {
    // Return fallback if any error occurs during formatting
    return fallback;
  }
};

However, the current implementation ensures maximum consistency with the existing payload date normalization pipeline.

26-26: LGTM! Correct import of the new safe date formatter.

The import correctly includes the new renderSafeFormattedDate helper function.


233-238: Excellent improvement! Safe date formatting with proper fallback handling.

The replacement of direct format(parseISO(...), "MMM dd, yyyy") calls with renderSafeFormattedDate provides several benefits:

  1. Error resilience: Handles invalid or undefined dates gracefully instead of throwing errors
  2. Timezone safety: Leverages the timezone-safe parsing pipeline via getDate function
  3. Consistent fallback: Shows "Invalid date" for problematic dates instead of crashing
  4. Maintained format: Preserves the existing "MMM dd, yyyy" display format

This directly addresses the PR objective of fixing timezone conversion issues for cycle dates.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Refactor to eliminate double parsing and improve efficiency.

The current implementation parses and validates the date twice - once in renderFormattedPayloadDate and again in this function. This is inefficient and unnecessarily complex.

Consider this simplified implementation that eliminates double parsing:

-export const renderSafeFormattedDate = (
-  date: Date | string | undefined | null,
-  formatToken: string = "MMM dd, yyyy",
-  fallback: string = "Invalid date"
-): string => {
-  if (!date) return fallback;
-
-  // Use renderFormattedPayloadDate to get a properly formatted payload date
-  const payloadDate = renderFormattedPayloadDate(date);
-
-  // If renderFormattedPayloadDate returns undefined/null, return fallback
-  if (!payloadDate) return fallback;
-
-  try {
-    // Parse and format the payload date
-    const parsedDate = getDate(payloadDate);
-    if (!parsedDate || !isValid(parsedDate)) return fallback;
-
-    return format(parsedDate, formatToken);
-  } catch (error) {
-    // Return fallback if any error occurs during formatting
-    return fallback;
-  }
-};
+export const renderSafeFormattedDate = (
+  date: Date | string | undefined | null,
+  formatToken: string = "MMM dd, yyyy",
+  fallback: string = "Invalid date"
+): string => {
+  if (!date) return fallback;
+
+  try {
+    // Parse the date once
+    const parsedDate = getDate(date);
+    if (!parsedDate || !isValid(parsedDate)) return fallback;
+
+    return format(parsedDate, formatToken);
+  } catch (error) {
+    // Return fallback if any error occurs during formatting
+    return fallback;
+  }
+};

This approach:

  • Eliminates the unnecessary intermediate payload format step
  • Reduces parsing from twice to once
  • Simplifies the logic while maintaining the same safety guarantees
  • Is more performant and easier to understand

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In packages/utils/src/datetime.ts lines 355 to 388, the function
renderSafeFormattedDate currently parses and validates the date twice, once
inside renderFormattedPayloadDate and again in this function, causing
inefficiency. Refactor the function to parse and validate the date only once by
removing the call to renderFormattedPayloadDate and directly parsing the input
date, then validating and formatting it. This will simplify the logic, improve
performance, and maintain the same safety guarantees.
