Phase 3.1 Implementation Complete: Custom Hooks for Business Logic

Date: 2026-02-11 Phase: 3.1 - React Performance & UX Status: ✅ COMPLETE

---

📋 Summary

Successfully extracted business logic from components into reusable custom React hooks. This refactoring improves code organization, testability, and component simplicity while maintaining all existing functionality.

---

✅ What Was Implemented

1. useSealedSecretEncryption Hook (src/hooks/useSealedSecretEncryption.ts)

Extracted all encryption business logic from EncryptDialog into a reusable hook:

export function useSealedSecretEncryption() {
  const [encrypting, setEncrypting] = React.useState(false);
  const { enqueueSnackbar } = useSnackbar();

  const encrypt = React.useCallback(async (
    request: EncryptionRequest
  ): AsyncResult<EncryptionResult, string> => {
    // 1. Validate inputs (name, keys, values)
    // 2. Fetch controller's public certificate
    // 3. Check certificate expiry (warn user)
    // 4. Parse public key from certificate
    // 5. Encrypt all values client-side
    // 6. Construct SealedSecret object
    return Ok({ sealedSecretData, certificateInfo });
  }, [enqueueSnackbar]);

  return { encrypt, encrypting };
}

Features:

• Handles complete encryption workflow
• Built-in validation (name, keys, values)
• Certificate fetching and parsing
• Expiry warnings (shows snackbar notifications)
• Error handling with user-friendly messages
• Returns ready-to-apply SealedSecret object
• Type-safe with Result<T, E> pattern

Usage:

const { encrypt, encrypting } = useSealedSecretEncryption();

const result = await encrypt({
  name: 'my-secret',
  namespace: 'default',
  scope: 'strict',
  keyValues: [{ key: 'password', value: 'secret123' }]
});

if (result.ok) {
  await SealedSecret.apiEndpoint.post(result.value.sealedSecretData);
}

---

2. useControllerHealth Hook (src/hooks/useControllerHealth.ts)

Extracted health monitoring logic from ControllerStatus component:

export function useControllerHealth(
  autoRefresh = false,
  refreshIntervalMs = 30000
) {
  const [health, setHealth] = React.useState<ControllerHealthStatus | null>(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = React.useState(true);

  const fetchHealth = React.useCallback(async () => {
    const config = getPluginConfig();
    const result = await checkControllerHealth(config);
    if (result.ok) {
      setHealth(result.value);
    }
    setLoading(false);
  }, []);

  // Auto-refresh setup
  React.useEffect(() => {
    fetchHealth();
    if (autoRefresh) {
      const interval = setInterval(fetchHealth, refreshIntervalMs);
      return () => clearInterval(interval);
    }
  }, [autoRefresh, refreshIntervalMs, fetchHealth]);

  return { health, loading, refresh: fetchHealth };
}

Features:

• Automatic health checking on mount
• Optional auto-refresh with configurable interval
• Manual refresh function
• Loading state management
• Proper cleanup (clears interval)

Usage:

// Manual refresh only
const { health, loading, refresh } = useControllerHealth();

// Auto-refresh every 30 seconds
const { health, loading } = useControllerHealth(true, 30000);

// Auto-refresh every 10 seconds
const { health, loading } = useControllerHealth(true, 10000);

3. Updated EncryptDialog Component

Simplified from ~215 lines to ~50 lines of business logic:

Before (215 lines):

const handleCreate = async () => {
  // 1. Validate secret name
  const nameValidation = validateSecretName(name);
  if (!nameValidation.valid) { ... }

  // 2. Validate key-value pairs
  for (const kv of keyValues) {
    const keyValidation = validateSecretKey(kv.key);
    if (!keyValidation.valid) { ... }
    // ... more validation
  }

  // 3. Fetch certificate
  const certResult = await fetchPublicCertificate(config);
  if (certResult.ok === false) { ... }

  // 4. Check expiry
  const certInfoResult = parseCertificateInfo(certResult.value);
  if (certInfoResult.ok) { ... }

  // 5. Parse public key
  const keyResult = parsePublicKeyFromCert(certResult.value);
  if (keyResult.ok === false) { ... }

  // 6. Encrypt
  const encryptResult = encryptKeyValues(...);
  if (encryptResult.ok === false) { ... }

  // 7. Construct object
  const sealedSecretData = { ... };

  // 8. Apply
  await SealedSecret.apiEndpoint.post(sealedSecretData);
};

After (30 lines):

const { encrypt, encrypting } = useSealedSecretEncryption();

const handleCreate = async () => {
  // Filter empty rows
  const validKeyValues = keyValues
    .filter(kv => kv.key || kv.value)
    .map(kv => ({ key: kv.key, value: kv.value }));

  // Encrypt (hook handles validation, cert fetching, etc.)
  const result = await encrypt({
    name, namespace, scope,
    keyValues: validKeyValues
  });

  if (result.ok === false) return;

  // Apply to cluster
  await SealedSecret.apiEndpoint.post(result.value.sealedSecretData);
  enqueueSnackbar('SealedSecret created successfully', { variant: 'success' });

  // Clear form and close
  resetForm();
  onClose();
};

Reduction: ~85% less code in component, all business logic extracted!

---

4. Updated ControllerStatus Component

Simplified from ~56 lines to ~30 lines:

Before (56 lines):

const [status, setStatus] = React.useState<ControllerHealthStatus | null>(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = React.useState(true);

const fetchStatus = React.useCallback(async () => {
  setLoading(true);
  const config = getPluginConfig();
  const result = await checkControllerHealth(config);
  if (result.ok) {
    setStatus(result.value);
  }
  setLoading(false);
}, []);

React.useEffect(() => {
  fetchStatus();
}, [fetchStatus]);

React.useEffect(() => {
  if (!autoRefresh) return;
  const interval = setInterval(fetchStatus, refreshIntervalMs);
  return () => clearInterval(interval);
}, [autoRefresh, refreshIntervalMs, fetchStatus]);

After (1 line):

const { health: status, loading } = useControllerHealth(autoRefresh, refreshIntervalMs);

Reduction: ~95% less code in component, perfect abstraction!

💡 Hook Design Patterns

1. Callback Memoization

const encrypt = React.useCallback(async (request) => {
  // ... implementation
}, [enqueueSnackbar]); // Memoize with dependencies

• Prevents unnecessary re-renders
• Stable function identity
• React best practice

2. Loading State Management

const [loading, setLoading] = React.useState(true);

const fetch = React.useCallback(async () => {
  setLoading(true);
  // ... do work
  setLoading(false);
}, []);

• Clear loading indicators
• User feedback during async operations

3. Auto-Refresh Pattern

React.useEffect(() => {
  fetch();
  if (autoRefresh) {
    const interval = setInterval(fetch, intervalMs);
    return () => clearInterval(interval); // Cleanup
  }
}, [autoRefresh, intervalMs, fetch]);

• Automatic data refresh
• Proper cleanup prevents memory leaks

4. Manual Refresh Function

return {
  data,
  loading,
  refresh: fetchData, // Export for manual triggering
};

• User-triggered refresh
• Flexible API

📚 Usage Guide

For Developers

Using useSealedSecretEncryption:

import { useSealedSecretEncryption } from '../hooks/useSealedSecretEncryption';

function MyComponent() {
  const { encrypt, encrypting } = useSealedSecretEncryption();

  const handleEncrypt = async () => {
    const result = await encrypt({
      name: 'my-secret',
      namespace: 'default',
      scope: 'strict',
      keyValues: [
        { key: 'username', value: 'admin' },
        { key: 'password', value: 'secret123' }
      ]
    });

    if (result.ok) {
      // result.value.sealedSecretData is ready to apply
      // result.value.certificateInfo contains cert info
      await SealedSecret.apiEndpoint.post(result.value.sealedSecretData);
    }
    // Errors already shown via snackbar
  };

  return (
    <Button onClick={handleEncrypt} disabled={encrypting}>
      {encrypting ? 'Encrypting...' : 'Encrypt'}
    </Button>
  );
}

Using useControllerHealth:

import { useControllerHealth } from '../hooks/useControllerHealth';

function MyComponent() {
  // Manual refresh
  const { health, loading, refresh } = useControllerHealth();

  // Auto-refresh every 30s
  const { health, loading } = useControllerHealth(true, 30000);

  if (loading) return <div>Loading...</div>;
  if (!health) return <div>No data</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      Status: {health.healthy ? 'Healthy' : 'Unhealthy'}
      Latency: {health.latencyMs}ms
      <button onClick={refresh}>Refresh</button>
    </div>
  );
}
