Make a Final Cleanup Pass

Make a Final Cleanup Pass

The last step is not to add more features. It is to remove confusion from the code you already wrote.

Check src/App.jsx for:

  • unused imports
  • old starter-only state or constants that are no longer needed
  • handlers that are defined but never passed to a component
  • repeated logic that can stay in one helper

Check the components for:

  • props that are no longer used
  • buttons that do not have the expected event handler
  • temporary preview behavior left over from the starter
  • misleading names

Do not refactor working code just for the sake of making it shorter. Prefer clear names and responsibilities over clever abstractions.

Checkpoint

Run the development server and the production build after cleanup. If both complete without errors and the main workflow still works, the cleanup has not changed the application’s behavior.
