Walkthrough

A ScrollToTop React component was added and mounted in App.tsx inside the AuthProvider/Router tree. It shows a floating button after 300px scroll, renders a circular progress ring reflecting page scroll percentage, and smooth-scrolls to top when clicked.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
New Scroll-To-Top Component
Frontend/src/components/ui/scroll-to-top.tsx
Adds a React component that: tracks scroll position (visible after 300px), computes scroll progress, updates via requestAnimationFrame, renders a circular SVG progress ring with gradient/button UI and hover tooltip, and scrolls to top smoothly on click. Cleans up listeners/animation frame on unmount.
App Integration
Frontend/src/App.tsx
Imports and renders ScrollToTop within the AuthProvider/Router tree to enable global scroll-to-top behavior across routes.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Pay attention to event listener lifecycle and RAF cancellation in Frontend/src/components/ui/scroll-to-top.tsx.
  • Verify scroll progress calculation across short and long pages and correct SVG dash-offset mapping.
  • Check keyboard accessibility and ARIA attributes on the button.
  • Confirm styling (Tailwind classes/gradients) matches existing design tokens if required.

🐇✨ I hopped in code with ears held high,
A glowing ring to mark the sky,
When pages stretch and journeys long,
I sing a tiny carrot song—
Tap my paw and up you fly!

49-51: Consider CSS custom property for dynamic shadow.

The inline style prop with a template literal recalculates on every render. Moving this to a CSS custom property can improve performance slightly by reducing JavaScript string concatenation overhead.

Apply this diff to use a CSS custom property:

         onClick={scrollToTop}
-        className="group relative p-4 rounded-full bg-gradient-to-br from-purple-600 via-purple-700 to-indigo-600 text-white shadow-2xl hover:shadow-purple-500/50 transition-all duration-300 hover:scale-110 focus:outline-none focus:ring-4 focus:ring-purple-500/50 active:scale-95 backdrop-blur-sm"
+        className="group relative p-4 rounded-full bg-gradient-to-br from-purple-600 via-purple-700 to-indigo-600 text-white shadow-2xl hover:shadow-purple-500/50 transition-all duration-300 hover:scale-110 focus:outline-none focus:ring-4 focus:ring-purple-500/50 active:scale-95 backdrop-blur-sm [box-shadow:0_10px_40px_rgba(147,51,234,var(--shadow-alpha))]"
         aria-label="Scroll to top"
         style={{
-          boxShadow: `0 10px 40px rgba(147, 51, 234, ${scrollProgress / 200})`,
+          '--shadow-alpha': scrollProgress / 200,
+        } as React.CSSProperties}
-        }}
       >

45-91: Link tooltip to button for screen readers.

The tooltip (Lines 88–91) is purely visual and not announced to screen readers. Adding aria-describedby on the button would properly associate the tooltip text with the control, improving accessibility for users relying on assistive technology.

Apply this diff to link the tooltip:

       <button
         onClick={scrollToTop}
         className="group relative p-4 rounded-full bg-gradient-to-br from-purple-600 via-purple-700 to-indigo-600 text-white shadow-2xl hover:shadow-purple-500/50 transition-all duration-300 hover:scale-110 focus:outline-none focus:ring-4 focus:ring-purple-500/50 active:scale-95 backdrop-blur-sm"
         aria-label="Scroll to top"
+        aria-describedby="scroll-to-top-tooltip"
         style={{
           boxShadow: `0 10px 40px rgba(147, 51, 234, ${scrollProgress / 200})`,
         }}
       >
         {/* ... button content ... */}

23-23: LGTM: Clean integration of ScrollToTop component.

The import and placement are correct. Rendering the component inside the Router context but outside individual Routes ensures it's available globally across all pages while maintaining proper React context access.

Also applies to: 49-49

Frontend/src/components/ui/scroll-to-top.tsx (1)

32-37: LGTM: Clean scroll-to-top implementation.

The function correctly uses window.scrollTo with behavior: "smooth" for a smooth scrolling experience. The implementation is straightforward and appropriate for this use case.

- Add requestAnimationFrame throttling for scroll events
- Fix division by zero on non-scrollable pages
- Calculate SVG radius dynamically to match rendered size
- Add proper cleanup and accessibility attributes

44-59: Percentage-based radius still mismatches pixel-based circumference calculation.

Although circleRadius is now computed dynamically (Lines 44-59), the SVG circles at Lines 96-107 still use r="45%", which references the SVG's coordinate system, while the circumference calculation at Lines 68-69 uses a pixel value derived from getBoundingClientRect. If the SVG has non-square dimensions, padding, or any coordinate-system discrepancies, the progress ring will not align correctly with the actual circle radius.

The previous review recommended using a fixed-pixel radius consistently or defining a fixed viewBox to eliminate this mismatch.

Apply this diff to use a fixed pixel radius consistently:

         <svg 
           ref={svgRef}
           className="absolute inset-0 w-full h-full -rotate-90" 
+          viewBox="0 0 56 56"
           style={{ filter: 'drop-shadow(0 0 8px rgba(168, 85, 247, 0.4))' }}
         >
           <circle
-            cx="50%"
-            cy="50%"
-            r="45%"
+            cx="28"
+            cy="28"
+            r="24"
             fill="none"
             stroke="rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)"
             strokeWidth="2"
           />
           <circle
-            cx="50%"
-            cy="50%"
-            r="45%"
+            cx="28"
+            cy="28"
+            r="24"
             fill="none"
             stroke="white"
             strokeWidth="2"
             strokeDasharray={circumference}
             strokeDashoffset={offset}
             strokeLinecap="round"
             className="transition-all duration-300"
           />
         </svg>

Then update the radius calculation to use the fixed value:

   useEffect(() => {
     const updateCircleRadius = () => {
-      if (svgRef.current) {
-        const svgRect = svgRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
-        const computedRadius = (Math.min(svgRect.width, svgRect.height) / 2) * 0.45;
-        setCircleRadius(Math.max(computedRadius, 1));
-      }
+      setCircleRadius(24);
     };
 
     updateCircleRadius();
-    window.addEventListener("resize", updateCircleRadius, { passive: true });
 
     return () => {
-      window.removeEventListener("resize", updateCircleRadius);
     };
   }, []);

Also applies to: 96-115

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
Frontend/src/components/ui/scroll-to-top.tsx (2)

68-69: Consider memoizing circumference calculations.

The circumference and offset calculations run on every render. While the arithmetic is inexpensive, wrapping them in useMemo would follow React best practices and avoid redundant computation.

+  const circumference = useMemo(() => 2 * Math.PI * circleRadius, [circleRadius]);
+  const offset = useMemo(() => circumference * (1 - scrollProgress / 100), [circumference, scrollProgress]);
-  const circumference = 2 * Math.PI * circleRadius;
-  const offset = circumference * (1 - scrollProgress / 100);

44-59: Consider throttling the resize listener.

The scroll handler correctly uses requestAnimationFrame throttling, but the resize listener does not. Resize events can fire frequently during window resizing, causing multiple DOM reads and state updates. Applying the same RAF throttling pattern would improve consistency and performance.

   useEffect(() => {
+    let resizeRafId: number | null = null;
+
     const updateCircleRadius = () => {
       if (svgRef.current) {
         const svgRect = svgRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
         const computedRadius = (Math.min(svgRect.width, svgRect.height) / 2) * 0.45;
         setCircleRadius(Math.max(computedRadius, 1));
       }
+      resizeRafId = null;
     };
 
+    const handleResize = () => {
+      if (resizeRafId === null) {
+        resizeRafId = requestAnimationFrame(updateCircleRadius);
+      }
+    };
+
     updateCircleRadius();
-    window.addEventListener("resize", updateCircleRadius, { passive: true });
+    window.addEventListener("resize", handleResize, { passive: true });
 
     return () => {
-      window.removeEventListener("resize", updateCircleRadius);
+      window.removeEventListener("resize", handleResize);
+      if (resizeRafId !== null) {
+        cancelAnimationFrame(resizeRafId);
+      }
     };
   }, []);

11-42: RAF throttling and zero-division guard properly implemented.

The scroll handler now correctly throttles updates with requestAnimationFrame and guards against division by zero when the page is non-scrollable. This addresses the performance and NaN issues flagged in previous reviews.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Remove semantically incorrect ARIA role from wrapper.

The outer <div> uses role="complementary", which is intended for landmark regions like sidebars that complement the main content. A scroll-to-top button wrapper is not a complementary landmark. The inner <button> already has the correct aria-label="Scroll to top" and type="button", making the outer role redundant and potentially confusing for screen readers.

Apply this diff to remove the incorrect role:

     <div
       className={`fixed bottom-8 right-8 z-50 transition-all duration-500 ease-out ${
         isVisible ? "opacity-100 translate-y-0" : "opacity-0 translate-y-16 pointer-events-none"
       }`}
-      role="complementary"
-      aria-label="Scroll to top navigation"

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In Frontend/src/components/ui/scroll-to-top.tsx around lines 72 to 78, the outer
div incorrectly uses role="complementary" which is a landmark role and not
appropriate for a scroll-to-top wrapper; remove the role attribute from the
outer div so the inner button remains the accessible control (it already has
aria-label and type), leaving the wrapper as a purely presentational element.
