⚡ Bolt: Optimize scroll event listeners with requestAnimationFrame and passive flag#118
Conversation
…d passive flag
Throttles continuous global `scroll` event listeners attached in layout components (`Layout.tsx`, `DynamicHeaderWrapper.tsx`) and floating action elements (`BackToTop.tsx`) using `requestAnimationFrame`. This defers state evaluation to the browser's paint cycle, significantly reducing main-thread CPU usage during fast scrolling. Additionally added the `{ passive: true }` flag to inform the browser that these listeners will not call `preventDefault`, allowing the browser to render scrolling immediately rather than waiting. Updated Jest tests to support `requestAnimationFrame`.

1. Minimal route listener leak 🐞 Bug ⛯ Reliability
DynamicHeaderWrapper can keep a scroll listener attached when navigating to a “minimal layout” route because isMinimalLayout changes do not trigger the effect cleanup, yet the component remains mounted and returns null. This leaves the global scroll handler running unnecessarily and can accumulate behavior differences across route transitions.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`DynamicHeaderWrapper` installs a document scroll listener, but when `isMinimalLayout` becomes true the listener may not be removed because the effect does not re-run/cleanup on `isMinimalLayout` changes.
### Issue Context
The component is rendered from Next.js layouts, so it may remain mounted across route transitions and render `null` for minimal routes while still having the listener attached.
### Fix Focus Areas
- components/layout/DynamicHeaderWrapper.tsx[21-43]
- app/(global)/layout.tsx[5-13]
- app/[year]/layout.tsx[4-14]
### Implementation notes
- Add `isMinimalLayout` (or `pathname`) to the effect dependency array and ensure the cleanup runs when toggling into minimal layout.
- Alternatively, always register the listener but early-return inside the handler when minimal; or always remove listener when minimal becomes true.

2. Uncanceled raf on unmount 🐞 Bug ⛯ Reliability
The scroll handlers schedule requestAnimationFrame callbacks that may execute after component unmount and call setState, which can trigger React warnings and leaks. None of the modified components store/cancel the scheduled frame during cleanup.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`requestAnimationFrame` callbacks scheduled by scroll handlers may run after unmount and call React state setters.
### Issue Context
The components add scroll listeners and schedule rAF work, but cleanup only removes the listener. The scheduled frame should be canceled on unmount.
### Fix Focus Areas
- components/elements/BackToTop.tsx[7-22]
- components/layout/Layout.tsx[80-103]
- components/layout/DynamicHeaderWrapper.tsx[21-43]
### Implementation notes
- Store the return value of `requestAnimationFrame` in a ref/closure variable.
- In the effect cleanup, call `cancelAnimationFrame(rafId)` if set.
- Optionally guard with an `isMounted` ref to avoid calling setState after unmount.

3. Test raf mock breaks strict ts 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness
The new test overrides window.requestAnimationFrame with a function whose callback parameter is implicitly any, which fails TypeScript strict mode when running npm run type-check. This can block CI even if Jest tests pass.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
TypeScript strict mode rejects the test rAF mock because the `callback` parameter is implicitly `any`.
### Issue Context
`tsconfig.json` is `strict: true` and includes all `**/*.ts(x)` files, including tests.
### Fix Focus Areas
- __tests__/components/layout/Layout.test.tsx[100-105]
- __tests__/components/layout/DynamicHeaderWrapper.test.tsx[56-61]
- tsconfig.json[1-28]
### Implementation notes
- Type the mock as `const rafMock: typeof window.requestAnimationFrame = (cb: FrameRequestCallback) => { cb(0); return 0; };`.
- Prefer `try/finally` to restore the original RAF even if an assertion throws.

💡 What:
Optimized the global window and document
scrollevent listeners used for scroll-tracking logic (e.g., dynamically showing the "Back To Top" button or updating headers).{ passive: true }to theaddEventListeneroptions so the browser doesn't block scrolling to wait for a possiblepreventDefault().requestAnimationFramethrottle around the state setters (setScroll,setHasScrolled) with a local mutable tracking object (const state = { isTicking: false };) to respect the project's strictno-restricted-syntaxlinting rule againstlet.🎯 Why:
Attaching a
scrollevent listener without throttling executes the callback synchronously on the main thread for every pixel scrolled. This can cause severe jank or delayed responsiveness since state evaluations constantly interrupt the browser.📊 Impact:
🔬 Measurement:
Load a layout with the "Back To Top" component (e.g., the homepage). Scroll up and down rapidly. Monitor the Performance tab in DevTools -> rendering should stay close to 60fps with fewer layout thrashing events compared to before. Run
