Dave 426bcb188a feat(duplicate-orders): refine duplicate order detection logic and UI enhancements
- Improved the `DuplicateOrdersDialog` component with better tab navigation for order number and line aggregate views.
- Enhanced the data structure for duplicate records to include `totalQuantity` and `totalSellingPrice` for more accurate detection.
- Implemented auto-flipping logic to ensure users see relevant content without encountering empty views.
- Expanded test coverage for the `findDuplicateOrders` function to validate new matching logic.
- Updated documentation to clarify duplicate identification criteria.

Use useTransition Over Manual Loading States

Use useTransition instead of manual useState for loading states. This provides built-in isPending state and automatically manages transitions.

Incorrect (manual loading state):

function SearchResults() {
  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
  const [results, setResults] = useState([])
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false)

  const handleSearch = async (value: string) => {
    setIsLoading(true)
    setQuery(value)
    const data = await fetchResults(value)
    setResults(data)
    setIsLoading(false)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <input onChange={(e) => handleSearch(e.target.value)} />
      {isLoading && <Spinner />}
      <ResultsList results={results} />
    </>
  )
}

Correct (useTransition with built-in pending state):

import { useTransition, useState } from 'react'

function SearchResults() {
  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
  const [results, setResults] = useState([])
  const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition()

  const handleSearch = (value: string) => {
    setQuery(value) // Update input immediately

    startTransition(async () => {
      // Fetch and update results
      const data = await fetchResults(value)
      setResults(data)
    })
  }

  return (
    <>
      <input onChange={(e) => handleSearch(e.target.value)} />
      {isPending && <Spinner />}
      <ResultsList results={results} />
    </>
  )
}

Benefits:

  • Automatic pending state: No need to manually manage setIsLoading(true/false)
  • Error resilience: Pending state correctly resets even if the transition throws
  • Better responsiveness: Keeps the UI responsive during updates
  • Interrupt handling: New transitions automatically cancel pending ones
