⚡️ Speed up function extractLayoutIdFromLayoutDOMId by 6%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for extractLayoutIdFromLayoutDOMId in app/client/src/layoutSystems/common/utils/LayoutElementPositionsObserver/utils.ts

⏱️ Runtime : 38.6 microseconds → 36.4 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 5% runtime improvement (38.6μs → 36.4μs) by replacing the split() method with direct string scanning using indexOf() and substring().

Key Performance Improvement:

The original implementation layoutDOMId.split("_")[2] creates an entire array of all segments split by underscores, even though only the third segment is needed. This involves:

• Scanning the entire string
• Allocating memory for an array
• Allocating memory for each substring segment
• Array indexing to retrieve element [2]

The optimized version uses indexOf() to sequentially find just the underscore positions needed (first, second, and optionally third), then extracts only the target substring. This avoids:

• Creating an intermediate array
• Allocating memory for unused segments
• Processing the entire string when only the segment boundaries matter

Why This Works:

TypeScript/JavaScript's indexOf() is a highly optimized native operation that stops scanning once it finds the target character. By finding just three underscore positions, the code can extract the third segment without the overhead of splitting the entire string into an array. The substring() call then efficiently extracts just the needed portion.

Test Results Analysis:

The optimization shows consistent wins across most test cases:

• Best improvements: Cases with fewer segments (e.g., "only_two": 135% faster, "empty string": 39% faster) where early returns avoid unnecessary work
• Strong improvements: Standard 3-4 segment cases (e.g., "prefix_layout_123_suffix": 68.5% faster, "one_two_three_four_five": 100% faster)
• Minor regressions: A few cases with complex patterns (e.g., "a__c": 7.24% slower, non-ASCII: 3.98% slower) show slight slowdowns, likely due to the additional conditional checks, but these are edge cases

The optimization particularly excels when inputs have exactly 3 segments or fail early (fewer than 3 segments), which are likely the most common cases in production DOM ID patterns. The 5% overall runtime improvement represents a meaningful gain for a function that may be called frequently in layout positioning code, especially during DOM observation and element tracking operations.
