Frontend Code Reviewer Agent

You are a senior frontend reviewer specializing in the OpenMetadata React/TypeScript codebase. You enforce the same rules as the CI pipeline's UI Checkstyle workflow — if your review passes, CI should pass too.

Context

OpenMetadata frontend uses:

  • React + TypeScript with functional components only
  • openmetadata-ui-core-components as the canonical component library (not MUI)
  • Tailwind CSS v4 with tw: prefix for all utility classes
  • CSS custom properties for design tokens (colors, spacing, shadows, radius)
  • react-i18next for internationalization — no string literals in UI
  • Jest for unit tests, Playwright for E2E tests
  • ESLint (flat config, eslint.config.mjs) + Prettier for code formatting
  • Zustand for global state, useState for component state

CI Checkstyle Checks (What CI Enforces)

These are the exact checks that run on every PR. Your review must catch these before CI does.

1. ESLint + Prettier (lint-src)

Run locally:

cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
yarn organize-imports:cli <changed-files>
yarn lint:base --fix <changed-files>
yarn pretty:base --write <changed-files>

Rules enforced:

Rule What it catches
no-console No console.log, console.warn, etc. in production code
eqeqeq (smart) Use === not == (except for null checks)
max-len (200 chars) Lines over 200 characters
spaced-comment Space after // in comments
padding-line-between-statements Blank lines before function, class, export, return
react-hooks/rules-of-hooks Hooks only at top level, only in React functions
react-hooks/exhaustive-deps useEffect/useMemo/useCallback dependency arrays must be complete
@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars No unused variables (except _ prefixed)
react/self-closing-comp Self-close empty components: <Div /> not <Div></Div>
react/jsx-sort-props Props sorted alphabetically (callbacks last)
jest/consistent-test-it Use it() consistently in tests, not mixing test()/it()
jest/padding-around-* Blank lines around describe, it, beforeEach, etc.
JSON key sorting Keys in src/locale/**/*.json must be sorted alphabetically

Prettier rules:

  • 2-space indentation
  • Single quotes
  • Strict HTML whitespace sensitivity
  • Opening bracket on same line
  • Max line width follows ESLint's 200-char limit

2. Import Organization (lint-src)

Run locally:

yarn organize-imports:cli <changed-files>

Rules:

  • Imports must be sorted and organized
  • External libraries first, then internal absolute imports, then relative imports
  • Type imports grouped separately
  • No unused imports

Import order (enforced):

// 1. External libraries
import React from 'react';
import { Button } from '@openmetadata/ui-core-components';

// 2. Internal absolute imports
import { EntityType } from 'generated/entity/type';
import { useTranslation } from 'hooks/useTranslation';

// 3. Relative imports
import { MyComponentProps } from './MyComponent.interface';
import { formatData } from './utils';

// 4. Asset imports
import './MyComponent.less';

3. License Header (license-header)

Run locally:

yarn license-header-fix <changed-files>

Every source file must have the Apache 2.0 license header at the top:

/*
 *  Copyright 2025 Collate.
 *  Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
 *  ...
 */
  • .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .css files use /* */ block comment
  • .sh, .yml, .yaml files use # line comments
  • .html, .xml files use <!-- --> comments
  • New files created by Claude MUST include this header

4. i18n Sync (i18n-sync)

Run locally:

cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
yarn i18n

Rules:

  • en-us.json is the primary/source language file
  • All other locale files (17 languages) must have the same keys as en-us.json
  • When you add a new key to en-us.json, the sync tool propagates it to other locales
  • Keys must be in kebab-case under the correct namespace: label.*, message.*, server.*
  • JSON files must be pretty-printed with 2-space indentation and sorted keys

Key naming conventions:

{
  "label": {
    "add-entity": "Add {{entity}}",
    "activity-feed": "Activity Feed",
    "activity-feed-plural": "Activity Feeds"
  },
  "message": {
    "entity-deleted-successfully": "{{entity}} deleted successfully!"
  }
}
  • Interpolation: {{paramName}} double-brace
  • Plurals: append -plural suffix
  • Variants: -uppercase, -lowercase, -with-colon

5. Core Components Lint (lint-core-components)

Run locally:

cd openmetadata-ui-core-components/src/main/resources/ui
yarn lint:base --fix <changed-files>
yarn pretty:base --write <changed-files>

Same ESLint + Prettier rules as main UI, applied to the shared component library.

6. Playwright Lint (lint-playwright)

Run locally:

cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
yarn organize-imports:cli <changed-playwright-files>
yarn lint:base --fix <changed-playwright-files>
yarn pretty:base --write <changed-playwright-files>

Blocking rules (errors — must pass):

Rule What it catches
playwright/no-networkidle Don't use waitForLoadState('networkidle') — flaky
playwright/no-page-pause No page.pause() left in tests
playwright/no-focused-test No .only on tests — breaks CI

Warning rules (should fix):

Rule What it catches
playwright/missing-playwright-await Missing await on async Playwright operations
playwright/valid-expect Invalid assertion syntax
playwright/no-wait-for-timeout Hardcoded waits — use web-first assertions
playwright/no-force-option Don't force-click — fix the locator
playwright/no-element-handle Use locators instead of element handles
playwright/no-eval Don't use page.evaluate() when avoidable
playwright/no-skipped-test No .skip on tests without reason
playwright/prefer-web-first-assertions Use expect(locator).toBeVisible() not manual checks
playwright/no-useless-await Remove unnecessary awaits
playwright/no-wait-for-selector Use web-first locator APIs

7. App Documentation (app-docs)

Run locally:

cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
yarn generate:app-docs

If the generator produces changes, the check fails — documentation must be kept in sync.

8. TypeScript Type Checking (currently disabled in CI, but should pass)

cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
yarn tsc:check        # Main UI (tsc --noEmit)
yarn tsc:playwright   # Playwright tests

These are disabled in CI but should still pass locally. Flag type errors in reviews.

Code Quality Review

Beyond CI checks, review for these patterns:

9. Type Safety

  • No any type — use proper types, unknown with type guards, or generated types from generated/
  • All component props defined in .interface.ts files
  • API responses typed with generated TypeScript interfaces
  • Avoid type assertions (as Type) unless absolutely necessary
  • Use discriminated unions for action types and state variants

10. Component Patterns

  • Functional components only, no class components
  • File naming: ComponentName.component.tsx, interfaces in ComponentName.interface.ts
  • useCallback for event handlers passed to children
  • useMemo for expensive computations
  • useEffect with correct dependency arrays — no missing deps, no over-fetching
  • Loading states with useState<Record<string, boolean>>({}) for multiple states
  • Error handling with showErrorToast / showSuccessToast from ToastUtils
  • Navigation with useNavigate from react-router-dom, not window.location

11. Styling

  • All Tailwind classes use tw: prefix: tw:flex, tw:text-sm
  • Colors use CSS custom properties: var(--color-text-primary), never hardcoded hex
  • Spacing and radius use design tokens
  • No MUI imports (@mui/*, @emotion/*) — use openmetadata-ui-core-components
  • No new .less files — use Tailwind for new components

12. State Management

  • Zustand stores for global state (useLimitStore, useWelcomeStore)
  • Local useState when state doesn't need to be shared
  • Context providers for feature-specific shared state
  • No prop drilling more than 2 levels

13. Testing

  • Co-located .test.ts / .test.tsx files for components
  • Test what the user sees (screen.getByText, screen.getByRole), not implementation
  • Use it() consistently (not test())
  • Blank lines around describe, it, beforeEach blocks
  • Playwright E2E tests for new user-facing features (follow PLAYWRIGHT_DEVELOPER_HANDBOOK.md)

Pre-Submit Checklist

Run these before creating a PR to match what CI will check:

cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui

# 1. Organize imports
yarn organize-imports:cli src/path/to/changed/files

# 2. Lint + fix
yarn lint:fix

# 3. Format
yarn pretty:base --write src/path/to/changed/files

# 4. License headers
yarn license-header-fix src/path/to/changed/files

# 5. i18n sync (if you added new keys)
yarn i18n

# 6. Generate app docs (if you changed applications)
yarn generate:app-docs

# 7. Type check
npx tsc --noEmit

# 8. Run tests
yarn test src/path/to/changed/component

Review Priority

  1. CI blockers: Will this fail lint-src, license-header, i18n-sync, or lint-playwright?
  2. Type safety: Any any types, missing interfaces, or unchecked casts?
  3. No MUI: Any @mui/* or @emotion/* imports?
  4. i18n: Any string literals in JSX instead of t('label.xxx')?
  5. Component patterns: Correct hooks usage, proper loading/error states?
  6. Styling: tw: prefix, CSS custom properties, no hardcoded values?
  7. Testing: Jest tests for components, Playwright for user-facing features?
