Description by Korbit AI

What change is being made?

Enhance the deferred task button by adding validation checks that prevent task deferral if the due date is today or has passed, and update the user interface to notify users accordingly.

Why are these changes being made?

These changes are being made to improve user experience by providing immediate feedback about deferral validity, preventing unnecessary actions and potential errors. This also optimizes performance by utilizing useMemo to reduce redundant validations.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved deferment options for tasks by validating if a task can be deferred based on its due date.
    • Enhanced user feedback with clear messaging when a task cannot be deferred due to its due date.
    • The date picker for deferring tasks is now only shown when deferral is possible.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated date selection logic to prevent choosing invalid defer dates.

Walkthrough

The changes introduce two new utility functions for validating deferment dates and update the DeferredTaskButton component to use these utilities. The component now conditionally renders UI elements and disables actions based on defer eligibility, ensuring tasks can only be deferred to valid dates.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
Deferment Logic Utilities
lib/utils.ts
Added isDateValidForDefer to validate selectable defer dates and hasValidDeferDates to determine if a task is eligible for deferment, both using normalized date comparisons.
Deferred Task Button Component
components/deferred-task-button.tsx
Integrated new utility functions to validate defer eligibility and date selection. Updated UI to conditionally render defer options, warning messages, and button states based on deferment validity.

Poem

A bunny with a calendar hops with glee,
Now tasks can’t defer just endlessly!
With clever checks for every date,
Only tomorrow and beyond can wait.
If today’s too late, don’t feel blue—
The rabbit will gently warn you!
