💡 What:

  1. Replaced the deep recursive GraphQL tree query in server/api/apps.ts with a faster directory fetching query followed by a targeted batched alias query to fetch specific file contents (appinfo.spixi, icon.png, icon.svg).
  2. Optimized the string parsing logic in parseAppInfo to use .indexOf('=') and .substring() instead of .split('=') and .join('=').

🎯 Why:
The previous GraphQL implementation was extremely inefficient because it requested the full text content of every single file within the app directories, including massive binary image files (icon.png). This resulted in massive payload sizes, wasted bandwidth, and degraded API performance. The new implementation precisely targets only the data it needs (appinfo.spixi text and oids for images). Additionally, avoiding unnecessary array allocations during the parsing of appinfo.spixi reduces garbage collection pressure when processing multiple apps.

📊 Impact:
Drastically reduces the size of the payload fetched from the GitHub GraphQL API, improving the responsiveness and memory footprint of the /api/apps endpoint. The parsing optimization slightly reduces CPU time and memory allocation during app processing.

🔬 Measurement:
Verified by running pnpm install && pnpm build, ensuring that the TypeScript compilation passes and the Nuxt application builds successfully without errors. The structural output of the API remains unchanged.
