Looking at this Product List with Cart project, here are the specific areas where I'd appreciate feedback or help:
Performance & Optimization Areas:
-
State Management Architecture
The current global cart array and direct DOM manipulation pattern works but could be more scalable. Should I implement a more structured state management pattern like a reducer or observer pattern for better predictability?
-
Event Listener Memory Management
I'm re-attaching event listeners every time addProductEventListeners()
runs after re-rendering. Is there a more efficient way to handle dynamic event delegation without potential memory leaks?
-
Image Loading Strategy
Currently using responsive <picture>
elements, but with 9 products each having 4 image variants (36 images total), should I implement lazy loading or image preloading strategies for better performance?
Accessibility & UX Concerns:
-
Screen Reader Experience
The cart quantity updates use aria-live="polite" but I'm unsure if the screen reader experience is optimal when rapidly changing quantities. Should I debounce the announcements?
-
Focus Management in Modal
Basic focus trapping is implemented, but should I add more sophisticated focus management like cycling through focusable elements with Tab/Shift+Tab?
Code Quality Questions...
6. Error Handling Robustness
The fetch for data.json has basic error handling, but should I add retry logic, loading states, or more graceful fallbacks for network failures?
- CSS Grid Responsiveness:
The layout works well from mobile to desktop, but should I add more intermediate breakpoints or use container queries for better adaptation to various screen sizes?
Specific Code Review Request:
I'd particularly appreciate feedback on the updateCartDisplay()
and renderCartItems()
functions - are they doing too much work and should they be split into smaller, more focused functions?
These are the areas where I feel the implementation could be improved for better maintainability, performance, and user experience.
