name: fec-refactoring-control
description: Use when behavior-preserving frontend refactoring focuses on conditional complexity, repeated branches, guards, special cases, or internal invariants, and the selected technique needs family-specific mechanics, risks, and JavaScript/TypeScript/React/Vue adaptation.

Conditional Logic Refactorings

Overview

Use this family after evidence identifies a fitting structural transformation. Apply one primary technique at a time and verify immediately.

Procedure

1. Confirm the selected technique and its preconditions in [Conditional Logic Refactorings](references/conditional-refactorings.md). 2. Record affected behavior and a diff budget. 3. Apply only the selected technique's smallest viable step. 4. Verify the step before composing another transformation. 5. Stop and reassess when public contracts, lifecycle, state identity, or actual scope exceed expectations.

Quick Reference

The family reference contains 6 canonical techniques with intent, signals, avoid conditions, mechanics, preservation checkpoints, smell links, composition hints, JavaScript/TypeScript notes, React/Vue notes, adaptation guidance, and original frontend examples.

Common Mistakes

• Choosing a technique by name without checking its preconditions.
• Combining several structural intentions in one diff.
• Assuming a classical class-based form is mandatory in modern frontend code.
• Treating passing tests as proof when the relevant behavior is not covered.
