centralize-config

To centralize hardcoded configuration values across TypeScript files, you map each scattered occurrence, validate its context interactively, and replace it with a shared constant import. This refactoring process ends with a grep check and test execution to verify no syntax broke.

The safest way to refactor duplicated strings into a single config source is a detect-to-map-to-centralize-to-replace flow. It requires interactive confirmation before substituting hardcoded values with constants, ensuring only truly equivalent configs are centralized without breaking syntax.

Yes, you can use grep and test verification to check config refactoring. After replacing hardcoded values with a centralized constant, grep confirms the original literals are completely gone, and running the test suite ensures the changes did not break existing behavior.

Config centralization works without breaking syntax in JavaScript codebases by replacing occurrences one by one with imports of a constant. It maps and validates nearby context for each match before changing anything, preventing incorrect substitutions.

You need to centralize duplicated config into a single source when hardcoded values or repeated constants cause configuration sprawl across your codebase. This prevents inconsistent behavior and missed updates by migrating values into a canonical source of truth.
