component-consolidation

To consolidate duplicate UI components safely, audit both files for unique logic and edge cases, trace all usage paths including dynamic imports and re-exports, update consumers, and remove the redundant component. This prevents dangling references and minimizes breaking changes.

Auditing a component before removal involves scanning for unique state management, props, and edge cases. You must trace all direct imports, dynamic imports, and index re-exports to identify required callers and ensure no unique logic is lost during the consolidation process.

Finding all usages of a component requires a comprehensive scan of direct imports, dynamic imports, index re-exports, and documentation. Tracing these usage paths ensures you identify every consumer and prevents dangling references during the refactor.

Yes, you can reduce two versions of a component to one by applying a phase-by-phase consolidation plan. This approach audits unique logic, updates all consumers and exports in a controlled sequence, and uses guardrails to preserve functionality and minimize breaking changes.

Updating consumers and cleaning up exports requires updating imports in a controlled, auditable sequence, then removing the redundant component. You must ensure references, exports, and tests are consistently updated across the codebase to complete the consolidation safely.

You should reconsider component consolidation if a comprehensive scan reveals that the duplicate components contain significantly divergent logic, state management, or edge cases that cannot be safely merged without risking breaking changes across consuming features.
