fix(bruno-app): resolve typing delay in EnvironmentVariablesTable by memoizing TableRow and row components

Description

This PR fixes input typing lag in EnvironmentVariablesTable (Environment Variables and Secrets editor).

Problem

When typing into input fields (Name, Value, or Description) in EnvironmentVariablesTable, there is noticeable rendering delay. With larger environment lists, typing becomes significantly slower.

bruno.issue.input.environment.variabel.mp4

Root Cause:

  1. TableRow's React.memo comparator evaluated prevProps.children === nextProps.children. Because TableVirtuoso's itemContent generates a new JSX element reference on every parent render, children equality always evaluated to false. This forced React to re-render all visible rows (30+ rows, 60+ editor instances) on every single keystroke.
  2. ErrorMessage was declared inline inside EnvironmentVariablesTable, creating a new component reference on every render.
  3. Handlers and variable sort operations were unmemoized, triggering full recalculations on every input change.

Fix

  1. Fixed TableRow Memoization: Replaced children reference comparison with referential equality check (prevVar === nextVar && prevProps.item?.index === nextProps.item?.index). Typing in a row now skips re-rendering for all other unchanged rows in the table.
  2. Extracted EnvVarRow & ErrorMessage: Moved EnvVarRow and ErrorMessage into standalone memoized components outside the main render body.
  3. Memoized Handlers & Computations: Wrapped handleNameChange, handleNameBlur, handleNameKeyDown in useCallback and displayedVariables in useMemo.
  4. Stable Virtuoso Keys: Updated computeItemKey in TableVirtuoso to use variable.uid.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The environment variables table was refactored into memoized row components. Derived rows and callbacks are memoized, virtualization keys use variable UIDs, and existing editing, validation, sorting, filtering, drag, save, and reset behavior is preserved.

Changes

Environment variables table

Layer / File(s) Summary
Memoized row rendering
packages/bruno-app/src/components/EnvironmentVariablesTable/index.js
Row markup is split into memoized value, description, error, and row components. Row comparisons include variable identity, index, and duplicate-secret state. Virtualization keys prefer variable UIDs.
Table state and action callbacks
packages/bruno-app/src/components/EnvironmentVariablesTable/index.js
Validation, drag handling, duplicate-secret errors, draft reconciliation, removal, name editing, save, reset, and callback dependencies are reorganized with refs and memoized callbacks. Formik validation no longer runs on change or blur.
Filtering, ordering, and table controls
packages/bruno-app/src/components/EnvironmentVariablesTable/index.js
Displayed rows use useMemo. Filtering and sorting preserve pinned and trailing empty rows. Header, resize, save, and reset controls retain their existing wiring.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 78885

This PR improves typing performance but currently risks stale row behavior: edits may use outdated save or focus callbacks, and rows may retain old widths, themes, or ordering after relevant state changes. These correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

619-642: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

globalEnvironmentVariables is a fresh object each render, so the _collection memo never hits.

getGlobalEnvironmentVariables returns a new object literal on every call. It is a dependency of the useMemo at line 629, so cloneDeep(collection) runs on every render. The comment at lines 624-628 states this deep clone is the dominant typing cost. The memo does not currently prevent it.

Memoize the lookup on its real inputs.

⚡ Proposed fix
-  const globalEnvironmentVariables = getGlobalEnvironmentVariables({
-    globalEnvironments,
-    activeGlobalEnvironmentUid
-  });
+  const globalEnvironmentVariables = useMemo(
+    () => getGlobalEnvironmentVariables({
+      globalEnvironments,
+      activeGlobalEnvironmentUid
+    }),
+    [globalEnvironments, activeGlobalEnvironmentUid]

87-99: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The three new comparators use prop allowlists that omit every per-render identity. Each comparator lists only value-like props and skips children, formik, the handlers and renderExtraValueContent. Those are exactly the props whose identity changes each render, so a memoized subtree keeps a stale closure or a stale element. The rule to apply: either compare a prop, or make it stable at the source.

  • packages/bruno-app/src/components/EnvironmentVariablesTable/index.js#L87-L99: add prevProps.children === nextProps.children. The memoized EnvVarRow still absorbs the typing cost.
  • packages/bruno-app/src/components/EnvironmentVariablesTable/index.js#L216-L225: add renderExtraValueContent, and stop passing the whole formik object into the onChange closure that reads formik.values.length.

sortOrderRef.current is read inside useMemo but is not a dependency.

This was previously an inline computation, so every ref mutation was picked up. Now the result is cached on [filteredVariables, sortMode]. sortOrderRef.current is also written outside render at lines 1133, 1193 and 1261. Those paths all call formik.resetForm, which changes filteredVariables, so the memo does recompute today.

The correctness depends on that coupling holding. Promote the sort order to state, or add a version counter to the dependency list, so a future write path cannot silently produce a stale order.

handleColumnWidthsChange is unmemoized, so handleResizeStart is recreated on every render.

Include formik and renderExtraValueContent in the memo comparisons

EnvVarRow also omits both props, so it can prevent updated values from reaching EnvVarValueCell. The settings caller changes renderExtraValueContent when environment or collection changes, which can leave SensitiveFieldWarning stale. The delayed append handlers can also use an old formik.values.length when the variable identity does not change. Compare these props at the row boundary, or use stable callbacks with ref-backed length.

I compiled Bruno locally using @ubay1's fix, and it works smoothly. The only downside is losing access to Ultimate features in a custom build. Could someone please review and merge this PR so it gets included in the nightly builds?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thank you @ubay1 for raising this PR.
I have tested it locally. It fixes the problem but introduces few bugs.
Bug 1 — deleting a row wipes edits made to other rows
Bug 2 — duplicate secret name errors paint on only one of the two rows. Also duplicate secrets flow is fully broken.
Bug 3 — reordering a row wipes edits made to another row values.
Also validation errors are always one keystroke stale.

444-457: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Stale handler props: handleSave and handleRowFocus never reach a memoized row.

The comparator omits every function prop.

  • handleSave depends on formik.values, so its identity changes on each keystroke. A memoized row keeps the first instance. onSave from the editor then persists a stale value set.
  • handleRowFocus depends on searchQuery. After the query changes, a memoized row keeps the old closure, so focus pinning records the previous query and filteredVariables discards the pin. The focused row can disappear while the user types.

Make these callbacks identity-stable with refs (as handleRemoveVar already does), or compare them here.

🔧 Suggested direction
-  const handleSave = useCallback(() => {
-    ...
-    const namedValues = formik.values.filter(
+  const handleSave = useCallback(() => {
+    ...
+    const namedValues = valuesRef.current.filter(
       (variable) => variable.name && variable.name.trim() !== ''
     );

Then drop formik.values from the handleSave dependency list, and read searchQuery from a ref inside handleRowFocus.

When columnWidths or storedTheme changes, the comparator still returns true because it ignores children. The row keeps stale cell widths and editor themes. Add these values to the compared context, or compare children.

Remove the empty handleNameBlur.

handleNameBlur has an empty body. The onBlur wrapper in EnvVarRow only adds a prop that never does work. Delete the callback and the onBlur handler, or restore the validation it used to trigger.

Include the current sort order in the displayedVariables dependencies.

When justCommitted or savedVariablesChanged updates sortOrderRef.current, filteredVariables can retain the same identity. useMemo then returns the previous order. Store the sort order in state or include a render-visible sort-order version in the dependencies.

In `@packages/bruno-app/src/components/EnvironmentVariablesTable/index.js`:
- Around line 444-457: Update the memoized row callbacks so handleSave and
handleRowFocus remain current without changing identity: store the latest
formik.values and searchQuery in refs, read those refs inside the callbacks, and
remove those values from their dependency lists. Keep the row comparator’s
existing behavior while ensuring rows invoke current save data and query-aware
focus logic.
- Around line 87-100: Update the TableRow comparator to include columnWidths and
storedTheme in its row-affecting comparisons, using the existing context values
or children comparison, so rows re-render when widths or editor themes change.

- Around line 681-707: Remove the unused validationSchema and validate
configuration from the form setup, since validation is disabled and no submit
path displays their results. Preserve the existing validation behavior through
getRowError and the save handlers, avoiding duplicated or unrelated validation
changes.

@ubay1 I'm just a Bruno user myself, so I can't push developers to prioritize this PR, but I can confirm everything is still working smoothly on my end after your latest commit.

@sachin-thakur-bruno Please review when you get a chance - this might fix issue #8928 (BRU-4312), which is currently assigned to @anusree-bruno.
