We have changed the shape (and the runtime) of React Elements. To help
avoid precompiled or inlined JSX having subtle breakages or deopting
hidden classes, I renamed the symbol so that we can early error if
private implementation details are used or mismatching versions are
used.
Why "transitional"? Well, because this is not the last time we'll change
the shape. This is just a stepping stone to removing the `ref` field on
the elements in the next version so we'll likely have to do it again.
So that when we end up referring to it in more places, it's only one.
We don't do this same pattern for regular `Symbol.iterator` because we
also support the string `"@@iterator"` for backwards compatibility.
Previously, `<Context>` was equivalent to `<Context.Consumer>`. However,
since the introduction of Hooks, the `<Context.Consumer>` API is rarely
used. The goal here is to make the common case cleaner:
```js
const ThemeContext = createContext('light')
function App() {
return (
<ThemeContext value="dark">
...
</ThemeContext>
)
}
function Button() {
const theme = use(ThemeContext)
// ...
}
```
This is technically a breaking change, but we've been warning about
rendering `<Context>` directly for several years by now, so it's
unlikely much code in the wild depends on the old behavior. [Proof that
it warns today (check
console).](https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/peaceful-nobel-pdxtfl)

**The relevant commit is 5696782b428a5ace96e66c1857e13249b6c07958.** It
switches `createContext` implementation so that `Context.Provider ===
Context`.
The main assumption that changed is that a Provider's fiber type is now
the context itself (rather than an intermediate object). Whereas a
Consumer's fiber type is now always an intermediate object (rather than
it being sometimes the context itself and sometimes an intermediate
object).
My methodology was to start with the relevant symbols, work tags, and
types, and work my way backwards to all usages.
This might break tooling that depends on inspecting React's internal
fields. I've added DevTools support in the second commit. This didn't
need explicit versioning—the structure tells us enough.
Server Context was never documented, and has been deprecated in
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/27424.
This PR removes it completely, including the implementation code.
Notably, `useContext` is removed from the shared subset, so importing it
from a React Server environment would now should be a build error in
environments that are able to enforce that.
This adds an experimental `unstable_postpone(reason)` API.
Currently we don't have a way to model effectively an Infinite Promise.
I.e. something that suspends but never resolves. The reason this is
useful is because you might have something else that unblocks it later.
E.g. by updating in place later, or by client rendering.
On the client this works to model as an Infinite Promise (in fact,
that's what this implementation does). However, in Fizz and Flight that
doesn't work because the stream needs to end at some point. We don't
have any way of knowing that we're suspended on infinite promises. It's
not enough to tag the promises because you could await those and thus
creating new promises. The only way we really have to signal this
through a series of indirections like async functions, is by throwing.
It's not 100% safe because these values can be caught but it's the best
we can do.
Effectively `postpone(reason)` behaves like a built-in [Catch
Boundary](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26854). It's like
`raise(Postpone, reason)` except it's built-in so it needs to be able to
be encoded and caught by Suspense boundaries.
In Flight and Fizz these behave pretty much the same as errors. Flight
just forwards it to retrigger on the client. In Fizz they just trigger
client rendering which itself might just postpone again or fill in the
value. The difference is how they get logged.
In Flight and Fizz they log to `onPostpone(reason)` instead of
`onError(error)`. This log is meant to help find deopts on the server
like finding places where you fall back to client rendering. The reason
that you pass in is for that purpose to help the reason for any deopts.
I do track the stack trace in DEV but I don't currently expose it to
`onPostpone`. This seems like a limitation. It might be better to expose
the Postpone object which is an Error object but that's more of an
implementation detail. I could also pass it as a second argument.
On the client after hydration they don't get passed to
`onRecoverableError`. There's no global `onPostpone` API to capture
postponed things on the client just like there's no `onError`. At that
point it's just assumed to be intentional. It doesn't have any `digest`
or reason passed to the client since it's not logged.
There are some hacky solutions that currently just tries to reuse as
much of the existing code as possible but should be more properly
implemented.
- Fiber is currently just converting it to a fake Promise object so that
it behaves like an infinite Promise.
- Fizz is encoding the magic digest string `"POSTPONE"` in the HTML so
we know to ignore it but it should probably just be something neater
that doesn't share namespace with digests.
Next I plan on using this in the `/static` entry points for additional
features.
Why "postpone"? It's basically a synonym to "defer" but we plan on using
"defer" for other purposes and it's overloaded anyway.

This was already defeating the XSS issue that Symbols was meant to protect
against. So you were already supposed to use a polyfill for security.
We rely on real Symbol.for in Flight for Server Components so those require
real symbols anyway.
We also don't really support IE without additional polyfills anyway.

There's no need for this now that the JSResource is part of the bundler

* Devtools
* Unhide Suspense trees without entanglement
When a Suspense boundary is in its fallback state, you cannot switch
back to the main content without also finishing any updates inside the
tree that might have been skipped. That would be a form of tearing.
Before we fixed this in #18411, the way this bug manifested was that a
boundary was suspended by an update that originated from a child
component (as opposed to props from a parent). While the fallback was
showing, it received another update, this time at high priority. React
would render the high priority update without also including the
original update. That would cause the fallback to switch back to the
main content, since the update that caused the tree to suspend was no
longer part of the render. But then, React would immediately try to
render the original update, which would again suspend and show the
fallback, leading to a momentary flicker in the UI.
The approach added in #18411 is, when receiving a high priority update
to a Suspense tree that's in its fallback state is to bail out, keep
showing the fallback and finish the update in the rest of the tree.
After that commits, render again at the original priority. Because low
priority expiration times are inclusive of higher priority expiration
times, this ensures that all the updates are committed together.
The new approach in this commit is to turn `renderExpirationTime` into a
context-like value that lives on the stack. Then, when unhiding the
Suspense boundary, we can push a new `renderExpirationTime` that is
inclusive of both the high pri update and the original update that
suspended. Then the boundary can be unblocked in a single render pass.
An advantage of the old approach is that by deferring the work of
unhiding, there's less work to do in the high priority update.
The key advantage of the new approach is that it solves the consistency
problem without having to entangle the entire root.
* Create internal LegacyHidden type
This only exists so we can clean up the internal implementation of
`<div hidden={isHidden} />`, which is not a stable feature. The goal
is to move everything to the new Offscreen type instead. However,
Offscreen has different semantics, so before we can remove the legacy
API, we have to migrate our internal usage at Facebook. So we'll need
to maintain both temporarily.
In this initial commit, I've only added the type. It's not used
anywhere. The next step is to use it to implement `hidden`.
* Use LegacyHidden to implement old hidden API
If a host component receives a `hidden` prop, we wrap its children in
an Offscreen fiber. This is similar to what we do for Suspense children.
The LegacyHidden type happens to share the same implementation as the
new Offscreen type, for now, but using separate types allows us to fork
the behavior later when we implement our planned changes to the
Offscreen API.
There are two subtle semantic changes here. One is that the children of
the host component will have their visibility toggled using the same
mechanism we use for Offscreen and Suspense: find the nearest host node
children and give them a style of `display: none`. We didn't used to do
this in the old API, because the `hidden` DOM attribute on the parent
already hides them. So with this change, we're actually "overhiding" the
children. I considered addressing this, but I figure I'll leave it as-is
in case we want to expose the LegacyHidden component type temporarily
to ease migration of Facebook's internal callers to the Offscreen type.
The other subtle semantic change is that, because of the extra fiber
that wraps around the children, this pattern will cause the children
to lose state:
```js
return isHidden ? <div hidden={true} /> : <div />;
```
The reason is that I didn't want to wrap every single host component
in an extra fiber. So I only wrap them if a `hidden` prop exists. In
the above example, that means the children are conditionally wrapped
in an extra fiber, so they don't line up during reconciliation, so
they get remounted every time `isHidden` changes.
The fix is to rewrite to:
```js
return <div hidden={isHidden} />;
```
I don't anticipate this will be a problem at Facebook, especially since
we're only supposed to use `hidden` via a userspace wrapper component.
(And since the bad pattern isn't very React-y, anyway.)
Again, the eventual goal is to delete this completely and replace it
with Offscreen.
* DevTools console override handles new component stack format
DevTools does not attempt to mimic the default browser console format for its component stacks but it does properly detect the new format for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
* Add useOpaqueIdentifier Hook
We currently use unique IDs in a lot of places. Examples are:
* `<label for="ID">`
* `aria-labelledby`
This can cause some issues:
1. If we server side render and then hydrate, this could cause an
hydration ID mismatch
2. If we server side render one part of the page and client side
render another part of the page, the ID for one part could be
different than the ID for another part even though they are
supposed to be the same
3. If we conditionally render something with an ID , this might also
cause an ID mismatch because the ID will be different on other
parts of the page
This PR creates a new hook `useUniqueId` that generates a different
unique ID based on whether the hook was called on the server or client.
If the hook is called during hydration, it generates an opaque object
that will rerender the hook so that the IDs match.

* Move Noop Module Test Helpers to top level entry points
This module has shared state. It needs to be external from builds.
This lets us test the built versions of the Noop renderer.
* Add feature flags
* Add Chunk type and constructor
* Wire up Chunk support in the reconciler
* Update reconciler to reconcile Chunks against the render method
This allows the query and args to be updated.
* Drop the ref. Chunks cannot have refs anyway.
* Add Chunk checks in more missing cases
* Rename secondArg
* Add test and fix lazy chunks
Not really a supported use case but for consistency I guess.
* Fix fragment test
* Add SuspenseList component type
* Push SuspenseContext for SuspenseList
* Force Suspense boundaries into their fallback state
In the "together" mode, we do a second render pass that forces the
fallbacks to stay in place, if not all can unsuspend at once.
* Add test
* Transfer thennables to the SuspenseList
This way, we end up retrying the SuspenseList in case the nested boundary
that just suspended doesn't actually get mounted with this set of
thennables. This happens when the second pass renders the fallback
directly without first attempting to render the content.
* Add warning for unsupported displayOrder
* Add tests for nested sibling boundaries and nested lists
* Fix nested SuspenseList forwarding thennables
* Rename displayOrder to revealOrder
Display order has some "display list" connotations making it sound like
a z-index thing.
Reveal indicates that this isn't really about when something gets rendered
or is ready to be rendered. It's about when content that is already there
gets to be revealed.
* Add test for avoided boundaries
* Make SuspenseList a noop in legacy mode
* Use an explicit suspense list state object
This will be used for more things in the directional case.
Removes support for using arbitrary promises as the type of a React
element. Instead, promises must be wrapped in React.lazy. This gives us
flexibility later if we need to change the protocol.
The reason is that promises do not provide a way to call their
constructor multiple times. For example:
const promiseForA = new Promise(resolve => {
fetchA(a => resolve(a));
});
Given a reference to `promiseForA`, there's no way to call `fetchA`
again. Calling `then` on the promise doesn't run the constructor again;
it only attaches another listener.
In the future we will likely introduce an API like `React.eager` that
is similar to `lazy` but eagerly calls the constructor. That gives us
the ability to call the constructor multiple times. E.g. to increase
the priority, or to retry if the first operation failed.
* pure
A higher-order component version of the `React.PureComponent` class.
During an update, the previous props are compared to the new props. If
they are the same, React will skip rendering the component and
its children.
Unlike userspace implementations, `pure` will not add an additional
fiber to the tree.
The first argument must be a functional component; it does not work
with classes.
`pure` uses shallow comparison by default, like `React.PureComponent`.
A custom comparison can be passed as the second argument.

* Warn if first argument is not a functional component
* fix: do not reconcile children that are iterable functions
* fix: remove fit
* Refactor comparison to exclude anything that isnt an object
* Remove redundant undefined check
Changed the API to match what we've been using in our latest discussions.
Our tentative plans are for <Placeholder> to automatically hide the timed-out
children, instead of removing them, so their state is not lost. This part is
not yet implemented. We'll likely have a lower level API that does not include
the hiding behavior. This is also not yet implemented.
