💡 What: Refactored MovieScraper to parse the JSON-LD metadata string once in the service layer instead of repeatedly parsing it inside helper functions (getMovieYear and getMovieDuration).
🎯 Why: Parsing the same JSON string multiple times is redundant and inefficient.
📊 Impact: Reduces JSON parsing operations from O(n) (where n is the number of helpers needing JSON-LD) to O(1) per movie.
🔬 Measurement: yarn test passes. Verified that null JSON-LD is handled gracefully.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

JSON-LD data handling is refactored to parse the script content once at the service layer, then pass the parsed object to helper functions instead of passing raw strings, improving data accessibility in downstream operations.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Movie Helpers
src/helpers/movie.helper.ts
Updated getMovieYear and getMovieDuration signatures to accept parsed jsonLd object instead of string. Logic simplified to access properties directly using jsonLd.dateCreated and jsonLd.duration instead of manual parsing, with added error handling returning null on failures.
Movie Service
src/services/movie.service.ts
Service now parses JSON-LD script content to JSON object before passing to buildMovie. Updated buildMovie signature to accept jsonLd as type any instead of string, with error handling for JSON parse failures.
Movie Tests
tests/movie.test.ts
Updated test helper getJsonLd return type from string to any with JSON.parse logic. Updated getMovie return type annotation to reflect jsonLd as any instead of string.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit's ode to cleaner parsing

Once strings were scattered left and right,
Now parsed objects bring delight!
One parse, one place, the logic flows—
A refactored path where data glows. ✨

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
src/helpers/movie.helper.ts (1)

126-131: Return type doesn't reflect null return.

getMovieYear declares : number but returns null on line 130. Same applies to getMovieDuration on line 133. Consider updating the return types to number | null for type safety.

Suggested fix
-export const getMovieYear = (jsonLd: any): number => {
+export const getMovieYear = (jsonLd: any): number | null => {
-export const getMovieDuration = (jsonLd: any, el: HTMLElement): number => {
+export const getMovieDuration = (jsonLd: any, el: HTMLElement): number | null => {

Note: Several other existing functions in this file (e.g., getMovieRating, getMovieRatingCount) have the same issue, so this is a pre-existing pattern — but since these signatures are being changed anyway, it's a good time to fix them.

tests/movie.test.ts (1)

51-58: Test fallback diverges from production behavior.

When the JSON-LD script element is missing, the test helper falls back to '{}' (yielding an empty object), while the service code (movie.service.ts line 44-50) would result in null. The helpers happen to handle both correctly today, but this inconsistency could mask a bug if future code distinguishes between null and {}.

Consider aligning the fallback:

-  const json = node.querySelector('script[type="application/ld+json"]')?.innerText || '{}';
-  try {
-    return JSON.parse(json);
-  } catch (e) {
-    return null;
-  }
+  const jsonLdScript = node.querySelector('script[type="application/ld+json"]');
+  if (!jsonLdScript) return null;
+  try {
+    return JSON.parse(jsonLdScript.innerText);
+  } catch (e) {
+    return null;
+  }

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Null-pointer dereference if <script type="application/ld+json"> is missing.

Line 44 calls .innerText on the result of querySelector, which returns null when no matching element exists. This will throw a TypeError before the try/catch on line 46 can catch it.

Proposed fix
-    const jsonLdString = movieHtml.querySelector('script[type="application/ld+json"]').innerText;
-    let jsonLd = null;
-    try {
-      jsonLd = JSON.parse(jsonLdString);
-    } catch (e) {
-      console.error('node-csfd-api: Error parsing JSON-LD', e);
-    }
+    const jsonLdScript = movieHtml.querySelector('script[type="application/ld+json"]');
+    let jsonLd = null;
+    if (jsonLdScript) {
+      try {
+        jsonLd = JSON.parse(jsonLdScript.innerText);
+      } catch (e) {
+        console.error('node-csfd-api: Error parsing JSON-LD', e);
+      }
