Improving Code Review Efficiency with Husky

During code review, code style is one of the review criteria. Reviewing code style involves a certain amount of work.

To reduce the workload of code review, why not standardize code style before committing?

This way we can save a lot of time during code review and spend it on more meaningful things.

Git Hooks

Git provides hooks — mechanisms to trigger other programs when operations like code commit, push, etc. occur.

Three Keys to Maintaining Code Review Habits in Your Team

Fri, 30 Nov 2018 14:00:00 +0000

We’ve talked about code review before. Maintaining a code review habit in a team is quite difficult. We need proper processes, tools, and institutional support to ensure the efficiency and quality of our code reviews.

Process Support: Gitflow

We’ve introduced the Gitflow workflow before.

It roughly goes like this:

Developers create a dedicated branch in the local repository to develop features.
Developers push branch changes to the public Git repository.
Developers initiate a Merge Request through Git.
Other team members review the code, discuss, and make changes.
The project maintainer merges the feature into the official repository and closes the Merge Request.

Tool Support

Enforce ESLint

Use ESLint strictly. Before code is committed, use tools like husky to enforce ESLint checks. Ensure that all submitted code passes ESLint first.

As teams grow, unifying coding standards and improving code quality becomes increasingly important. Code review, as one of the effective ways to improve code quality, is worth implementing within the company. Help the team develop a code review habit, improve code quality, and avoid unnecessary problems in advance.

For more efficient code review, a code review tool is needed. Hence this usage report.

Below are some tools I’ve tried, along with evaluations and summaries.

No dedicated person responsible for code review
Tracking changes after code review
Incentive mechanism for reviewers and fixers
Cross-team resource allocation can lead to excessive code

Solutions

Integrate Merge Request Workflow

To do code review on GitLab, we need to add Merge Request to our existing Git workflow.
