⚡️ Speed up function getParamsCount by 33%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 33% (0.33x) speedup for getParamsCount in app/client/src/PluginActionEditor/components/PluginActionForm/components/CommonEditorForm/utils/getParamsCount.ts

⏱️ Runtime : 293 microseconds → 220 microseconds (best of 10 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 33% runtime improvement (from 293μs to 220μs) by eliminating intermediate array allocations and reducing function call overhead.

Key Optimizations:

1. Inlined filtering logic: Instead of calling getValidProperties() twice (which creates two intermediate filtered arrays), the optimized version directly counts valid properties during iteration. This avoids:

   • Two separate filter() operations with callback function overhead
   • Two temporary array allocations
   • An extra function call for each array

2. Direct counting with early validation: The code now performs Array.isArray checks inline and uses simple for-loops with a counter, eliminating the higher-order function overhead of filter().

Performance Analysis from Tests:

The optimization shows significant gains especially in:

• Large-scale scenarios: Tests with 500+ elements show 400-922% speedups (e.g., "efficiently filter out invalid params" goes from 19.8μs to 1.94μs)
• Mixed valid/invalid data: When filtering is needed, the inlined approach dramatically outperforms (e.g., 300+300 mixed dataset: 11.5μs → 1.98μs)
• Edge cases with small arrays: Many edge case tests show 20-90% improvements

Trade-offs:

Some basic functionality tests show slight regressions (e.g., empty arrays: 1.02μs → 2.87μs), likely due to additional Array.isArray checks. However, these micro-regressions on trivial inputs are vastly outweighed by the 33% overall runtime improvement and dramatic gains on realistic workloads with larger datasets.

Why It's Faster:

In JavaScript/TypeScript, filter() creates a new array and invokes a callback for each element, adding per-element function call overhead. The optimized version uses primitive loops and a single counter variable, which is cache-friendly and avoids allocations. This is particularly effective when processing property arrays where filtering is common but intermediate arrays are unnecessary.
