Description

This fixes a minor issue with the code in the Numerical Input problem editor answer validation.

Specifically, the code isInvalid={!data?.isValid ?? true}

If you think about it:

  • if isValid is true, then this evaluates to {!true ?? true} which is {false ?? true} which is false.
  • if isValid is false, then this evaluates to {!false ?? true} which is {true ?? true} which is true.
  • if isValid is undefined, then this evaluates to {!undefined ?? true} which is {true ?? true} which is true.

In any case, the ?? true has absolutely no effect. And oxlint actually warns about this:

  ⚠ eslint(no-constant-binary-expression): Unexpected constant nullishness on the left-hand side of a "??" expression
    ╭─[src/editors/containers/ProblemEditor/components/EditProblemView/AnswerWidget/AnswerOption.jsx:92:13]
 91 │           />
 92 │           {(!data?.isValid ?? true) && (
    ·             ──────────────────────
 93 │           <Form.Control.Feedback type="invalid">
    ╰────
  help: This expression always evaluates to the constant on the left-hand side

As it says, "this expression always evaluates to the constant on the left-hand side", so there is no need for the right-hand side.

I also added a type definition for the validation data.

Supporting information

This follows #2615 and is part of the work to test oxlint in this repo - #2559

Testing instructions

Test that validation of numerical input answers is working the same as it was before.

Other information

Include anything else that will help reviewers and consumers understand the change.

  • Does this change depend on other changes elsewhere?
  • Any special concerns or limitations? For example: deprecations, migrations, security, or accessibility.

Best Practices Checklist

We're trying to move away from some deprecated patterns in this codebase. Please
check if your PR meets these recommendations before asking for a review:

  • Any new files are using TypeScript (.ts, .tsx).
  • Avoid propTypes and defaultProps in any new or modified code.
  • Tests should use the helpers in src/testUtils.tsx (specifically initializeMocks)
  • Do not add new fields to the Redux state/store. Use React Context to share state among multiple components.
  • Use React Query to load data from REST APIs. See any apiHooks.ts in this repo for examples.
  • All new i18n messages in messages.ts files have a description for translators to use.
  • Avoid using ../ in import paths. To import from parent folders, use @src, e.g. import { initializeMocks } from '@src/testUtils'; instead of from '../../../../testUtils'

Looks good! 👍 I found a bug that is not related to this PR: https://www.loom.com/share/9bfd9025aa944afa8ffc4c1780e9624a

  • I tested this: I verified that the numerical verification works
  • I read through the code and considered the security, stability and performance implications of the changes.
