Currently, the Indicator.tsx component directly accesses localStorage to retrieve and manage the OS version. This approach can lead to code that is harder to test and maintain. To improve the codebase, we should abstract the localStorage interactions into a custom hook.
Proposed Solution
Create a custom hook, useOsVersion, to encapsulate the logic for accessing and updating the OS version from localStorage. This hook will manage the state and side effects related to localStorage, making the Indicator.tsx component cleaner and more focused on its primary responsibilities.
Benefits
Improved Code Readability: The Indicator.tsx component will be more focused and easier to understand.
Better Testability: The logic for managing localStorage will be isolated, making it easier to write unit tests.
Reusability: The useOsVersion hook can be reused in other components if needed.
Additional Notes
Edge Cases: Ensure that the hook handles any edge cases, such as localStorage being unavailable in certain environments (e.g., server-side rendering).
Error Handling: Consider adding error handling within the hook to manage potential issues with localStorage, such as quota exceeded errors or JSON parsing errors.
By abstracting the localStorage usage into a custom hook, we can enhance the maintainability and scalability of our codebase. This approach also promotes the separation of concerns, making each component and hook responsible for a single aspect of the application's functionality.
