Worked on the alma/alma-installments-prestashop module, delivering insurance flow and widget UI improvements for PrestaShop. Refactored product page logic to enhance insurance selection, quantity updates, and product combination handling, while introducing loading spinners and streamlining widget control flow to reduce page reloads. Addressed a quantity persistence bug to ensure user-selected quantities are maintained when adding products to the cart, and implemented defensive input handling to prevent crashes when quantity input elements are missing. Leveraged JavaScript, PHP, and jQuery for both backend and frontend development, resulting in a more reliable checkout experience and improved maintainability for future enhancements.
November 2024 highlights for the alma/alma-installments-prestashop module focused on stability and defensive input handling in the checkout flow. A targeted fix was implemented to prevent a crash when the quantity input element is missing by introducing a getQuantityInput helper and validating its existence before accessing its value. The change was committed as: fix: don't crash when there is not quantity input (96044bc31dd065766705a17778ec0860f3ffbdbc).
