Description

Adds a lightweight NotePreview component that renders a truncated preview of note content with Tailwind line-clamping styles. The component safely defaults content to an empty string using nullish coalescing and slices content to props.maxLength when necessary. JSDoc was added for clarity.

Type of Change

  • New feature
  • Bug fix
  • Refactoring
  • Documentation update

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a new NotePreview React component and its TypeScript props interface. The component defaults missing content to an empty string, renders it inside a container with line-clamp-3 and text-base-content classes, and the maxLength prop is defined but not used in the component logic.

3-13: Add @example tag to JSDoc per coding guidelines.

The JSDoc comment is well-structured but missing the @example tag required by the coding guidelines. Adding an example improves documentation and shows typical usage patterns.

🔎 Suggested enhancement
 /**

Based on coding guidelines.


15-18: Consider adding ellipsis to indicate truncated content.

The truncation logic works correctly but doesn't append "..." to signal to users that the content has been cut off. This is a common UX pattern that improves clarity.

🔎 Suggested enhancement
     const contents = props.content ?? "";
     const previewText = contents.length > props.maxLength
-        ? contents.slice(0, props.maxLength)
+        ? contents.slice(0, props.maxLength) + "..."
         : contents;

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Resolve conflicting truncation strategies.

The component uses both character-based truncation (lines 16-18: slice(0, maxLength)) and CSS line-clamping (line-clamp-3). These two approaches can conflict:

  • Character slicing truncates at an exact character count, potentially mid-word
  • Line clamping truncates at line boundaries after 3 lines of text

If maxLength allows text that spans more than 3 lines, both truncations apply, which may produce unexpected results. Conversely, if maxLength produces only 1-2 lines, line-clamp-3 is redundant.

Choose one truncation strategy:

  • Option 1: Keep only line-clamp-3 for visual line-based truncation (remove maxLength prop and slicing logic)
  • Option 2: Keep only character slicing (remove line-clamp-3 class)
  • Option 3: If both are intentional, clarify the behavior in JSDoc
🔎 Example fix for Option 1 (line-based only)

In NotePreviewProps.ts:

 export interface NotePreviewProps {
     content?: string;
-    maxLength: number;
 }

In NotePreview.tsx:

-    const contents = props.content ?? "";
-    const previewText = contents.length > props.maxLength
-        ? contents.slice(0, props.maxLength)
-        : contents;
+    const previewText = props.content ?? "";

     return (
         <div className="line-clamp-3 text-base-content">

@Arnab-Mandal1, good progress! The conflicting truncation strategies have been resolved—the component now uses only CSS line-clamping (line-clamp-3), and the character-based slicing logic has been removed. ✅

However, there's a cleanup issue remaining:

The maxLength prop is still declared in NotePreviewProps but is no longer used in the component.

This creates confusion for anyone using this component, as they'll see maxLength as a required prop but it won't have any effect. Additionally, the JSDoc still documents @param props.maxLength, which is now misleading.

To complete the fix:

  1. Remove maxLength from NotePreviewProps.ts:
export interface NotePreviewProps {
    content?: string;
}
  1. Remove the @param props.maxLength line from the JSDoc in NotePreview.tsx:
/**
 * Renders a preview of the note content.
 *
 * This component processes the note content by wrapping it in a container 
 * with line-clamping styles to ensure it fits within the UI.
 *
 * `@param` props - The component properties.
 * `@param` props.content - The text content of the note. Defaults to an empty string if null or undefined.
 * `@returns` The rendered note preview element.
 */

Would you like me to create an issue to track this cleanup, or will you address it in this PR?

1-4: LGTM! The type mismatch has been resolved.

The content property is now correctly defined as optional (content?: string), which aligns perfectly with the component's use of nullish coalescing (props.content ?? ""). This resolves the inconsistency flagged in the previous review.


Optional: Consider adding JSDoc for documentation.

While not critical, adding JSDoc comments would improve developer experience and maintainability.

💡 Example JSDoc addition
+/**
+ * Props for the NotePreview component.
+ */
 export interface NotePreviewProps {
+    /** The note content to preview. Defaults to empty string if not provided. */
     content?: string;
+    /** Maximum number of characters to display before truncation. */
     maxLength: number;
 }
