Implementation Methodology for Code Refactoring and Performance Optimization
Helix provides a professional-grade code optimization toolchain:
- Structural ScanningGenerate visual reports using the "Analyze Project" feature to show code complexity, duplication rate and other metrics (HTML export support).
- intelligent reconfiguration: Press Ctrl+Shift+R after selecting the code to trigger the refactoring command, you can choose to: 1) Extract the duplicate code as a function 2) Simplify the conditional expression 3) Convert it to a design pattern (e.g., Factory Pattern)
- performance enhancement: Use the "Optimize Performance" feature for algorithmic code, which automatically performs a time complexity analysis and provides an optimized version (e.g., an implementation that changes from O(n²) to O(n)).
- Compatibility Check: Configure the target runtime environment (e.g., Node.js version) in the settings to avoid incompatible syntax features when refactoring.
Recommended Optimization Workflow: 1) Scan the whole project to identify hot files 2) Optimize the critical path code layer by layer 3) Compare the performance difference before and after optimization by "Benchmark" function. Special Note: Before large-scale refactoring, be sure to use "Checkpoint" to save the state and "Generate Documentation" to automatically update the annotation document.
