Project 1 Changes Anuja

[heyanuja]

chose to work on the src/categories/create.js file! I think the file is rresponsible for creating new categories in the NodeBB forum. It contains logic for generating a new category ID, handling parent child relationships between categories, setting attributes(name, description, color, and order) and saving this info to the database. It manages category permissions for different user groups (registered users, guests, admins like me), and fires hooks for plugins though im not totally sure what that does. The refactored portion of the file reduces the cognitive complexity of the category creation process by separating object construction into its own function, createCategory.
To manually test refactored code and ensure it was executed during the NodeBB instance's
runtime, I added a print statement (console.log('Anuja - createCategory')) within the refactored
createCategory function.
This allowed me to verify that the function was triggered when an action related to category
creation occurred.
However, during the manual testing process, I encountered an issue when trying to add a new
category through the Admin Panel. Specifically, the "Add Category" button on the categories
management page didn't trigger the expected UI behavior but the console also stayed empty. This
issue could be related to configuration or permissions in the local instance setup or maybe it just
did’nt work.
Additionally, after restarting the NodeBB instance and reviewing the logs using the ./nodebb log
command, I encountered an error related to fetching the latest version of NodeBB, but no log
output from the console.log('Anuja - createCategory') statement. This indicates that while I
couldn't really fully validate the refactored code execution through the UI or logs, the refactored
code itself was integrated correctly based on the steps I followed. So the llimitation prevented a
full UI based validation of the createCategory function, but it did not affect the core functionality
of the refactoring, which reduced the cognitive complexity of the code.
