SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Safe refactoring patterns for Pact 5 modules — rename, extract, inline, and restructure while preserving behavior and maintaining cross-module compatibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extract Function: Refactor inline logic into a standalone function to improve readability and reusability across modules.
  • Rename (Cross-Module): Update function names across dependent modules without breaking interfaces.
  • Constraints: Adhere to non-breaking changes, preserve API compatibility, and maintain module dependencies.

Quick Start

Follow the Safe Refactoring Protocol before modifying any module to ensure behavior remains intact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely rename a function across dependent Pact 5 modules?▼

To safely rename functions across dependent Pact 5 modules, apply cross-module renaming patterns that update function names without breaking interfaces or module dependencies. This preserves API compatibility and ensures cross-module compatibility throughout the refactoring process.

What is the best way to extract inline logic into a reusable function in Pact 5?▼

Extracting functions in Pact 5 involves refactoring inline logic into a standalone function to improve readability and reusability across modules. This technique restructures module layouts while maintaining non-breaking changes and preserving behavior.

Does refactoring Pact 5 modules require maintaining existing tests during modifications?▼

Yes, refactoring Pact 5 modules requires maintaining tests and validating behavior after modifications. Following a safe refactoring protocol ensures that extracted functions, renamed interfaces, and restructured layouts preserve the original behavior.

What constraints apply when restructuring module layouts in Pact 5?▼

Restructuring Pact 5 module layouts must adhere to constraints of non-breaking changes and API compatibility. You must preserve module dependencies, document changes, and validate behavior to ensure cross-module compatibility is not broken.

Can I inline helper functions while preserving API compatibility in Pact 5?▼

Yes, you can inline helpers in Pact 5 while preserving API compatibility. Inlining functions is a supported refactoring pattern that safely restructures module layouts without breaking dependent module interfaces or existing behavior.
