Day 11 – The Day I Had to Restart 💀

Day 11 was going to be pretty straightforward.

It ended up not being that easy.

I set out to implement the Codebase Search feature in CodeAtlas, but somehow it turned into an experience where errors occurred and I had to delete the whole code written in Day 11, to build it all again from scratch.

That’s what I did.

I deleted everything, went back to the previous day’s code, and rebuilt Day 11 again by adding one feature at a time and testing it after each major update.

This time around, it worked like a charm.

What I actually built today
*Implemented Codebase Search to allow searching of repository files.
*Implemented searchable file results that filter live.
*Linked search results to dependency graph.
🕸️ Clicking a file highlights the selected node and its dependencies.
Updated architecture insights integration,
*🧹 Cleaned up App.tsx code and fixed multiple state/integration bugs. AAAnndd,
*✅ Preserved existing repository explorer, dependency analysis and atlas graph functionalities.

The most important lesson that I learned today, did not concern React or TypeScript, But the fact that,

“Sometimes, it’s better to start coding a certain feature from scratch instead of wasting hours on fixing an incorrect implementation of it.”

Today, my progress took longer than I thought, but I think that CodeAtlas became a more robust app thanks to that experience.

11/14 days donee Yoooo!!!! 🥳
