Description

Refactored the OurProjects component from a prop-based to a data-driven architecture using JSON configuration. This enhancement improves maintainability, scalability, and developer experience while maintaining full backward compatibility. The component now loads project data directly from a structured JSON file instead of requiring external props, making it easier to add, remove, and manage projects without touching code.

Fixes # (issue)

Type of Change

  •  New feature (e.g., new page, component, or functionality)

  •  Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

  •  UI/UX improvement (design, layout, or styling updates)

  •  Performance optimization (e.g., code splitting, caching)

  •  Documentation update (README, contribution guidelines, etc.)

  •  Other (please specify): Code refactoring and architecture improvement

Changes Made

Core Refactoring

  • Data-driven architecture: Migrated from prop-based to JSON-driven project data loading

  • Enhanced data structure: Added comprehensive project metadata including descriptions, URLs, and tags

  • Self-contained component: OurProjects now imports data directly, eliminating external dependencies

  • Backward compatibility: Legacy prop interface maintained for smooth migration

New Files Created

  • projects.json - Structured project data with enhanced metadata

  • types.ts - TypeScript interfaces for type safety

  • global.d.ts - Comprehensive type declarations for better IDE support

  • REFACTORING_NOTES.md - Detailed technical documentation

Files Modified

  • ourProjects.tsx - Refactored to use JSON data with type conversion logic

  • index.tsx - Updated component usage to remove data prop dependency

  • tsconfig.json - Enhanced configuration for better TypeScript compatibility

Type Safety Improvements

  • Added comprehensive TypeScript interfaces for all project data

  • Enhanced type declarations for Docusaurus modules and CSS imports

  • Implemented proper type conversion between legacy and new data formats

  • Fixed all TypeScript compilation errors in affected files

Developer Experience Enhancements

  • Easy project management: Add/remove projects by editing JSON file

  • Rich metadata support: Projects now include descriptions, GitHub URLs, live URLs, and tags

  • Better documentation: Comprehensive inline comments and separate documentation files

  • IDE support: Enhanced autocomplete and type checking

Dependencies

  • No new runtime dependencies - Uses existing React, TypeScript, and Docusaurus ecosystem

  • Enhanced TypeScript configuration - Updated tsconfig.json for better compatibility

  • Type declarations - Added comprehensive module declarations for better IDE support

Configuration Updates

  • Updated moduleResolution to bundler for modern module resolution

  • Added skipLibCheck: true for faster compilation

  • Enhanced include/exclude patterns for better project coverage

Checklist

  •  My code follows the style guidelines of this project.

  •  I have tested my changes across major browsers and devices

  •  My changes do not generate new console warnings or errors.

  •  I ran npm run build and attached screenshot(s) in this PR.

  •  This is already assigned Issue to me, not an unassigned issue.

Additional Validation

  •  All TypeScript errors in modified files resolved

  •  Backward compatibility maintained - component works with both old and new data formats

  •  UI/UX preserved - identical visual appearance and functionality

  •  Performance improved - reduced bundle size and faster builds

  •  Documentation comprehensive - includes migration guide and API reference

Technical Benefits

  • Maintainability: 🔥 Easier to manage projects without code changes

  • Scalability: 🚀 Ready for future enhancements like filtering and search

  • Type Safety: 💪 Full TypeScript support with comprehensive interfaces

  • Developer Experience: ✨ Better IDE support and development workflow

  • Architecture: 🏗️ Clean separation of data and presentation logic

Migration Path: The refactoring includes a smooth migration strategy where the component automatically detects and converts legacy data formats, ensuring zero breaking changes during deployment.

Missing hyphen in 'beginner friendly' - should be 'beginner-friendly'. Also, 'opensource' should be 'open source' (two words).
