Stacked on #28997.
We can use the technique of referencing an object by its row + property
name path for temporary references - like we do for deduping. That way
we don't need to generate an ID for temporary references. Instead, they
can just be an opaque marker in the slot and it has the implicit ID of
the row + path.
Then we can stash all objects, even the ones that are actually available
to read on the server, as temporary references. Without adding anything
to the payload since the IDs are implicit. If the same object is
returned to the client, it can be referenced by reference instead of
serializing it back to the client. This also helps preserve object
identity.
We assume that the objects are immutable when they pass the boundary.
I'm not sure if this is worth it but with this mechanism, if you return
the `FormData` payload from a `useActionState` it doesn't have to be
serialized on the way back to the client. This is a common pattern for
having access to the last submission as "default value" to the form
fields. However you can still control it by replacing it with another
object if you want. In MPA mode, the temporary references are not
configured and so it needs to be serialized in that case. That's
required anyway for hydration purposes.
I'm not sure if people will actually use this in practice though or if
FormData will always be destructured into some other object like with a
library that turns it into typed data, and back. If so, the object
identity is lost.
A Flight Server can be a consumer of a stream from another Server. In
this case the meta data is attached to debugInfo properties on lazy,
Promises, Arrays or Elements that might in turn get forwarded to the
next stream. In this case we want to forward this debug information to
the client in the stream.
I also added a DEV only `environmentName` option to the Flight Server.
This lets you name the server that is producing the debug info so that
you can trace the origin of where that component is executing. This
defaults to `"server"`. DevTools could use this for badges or different
colors.
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.
creating the root after closing the response can lead to a promise that
never rejects. This is not intended use of the decodeReply API but if
pathalogical cases where you pass a raw FormData into this fucntion with
no zero chunk it can hang forever. This reordering causes a connection
error instead

We currently abort a stream either it's explicitly told to abort (e.g.
by an abortsignal). In this case we still finish writing what we have as
well as instructions for the client about what happened so it can
trigger fallback cases and log appropriately.
We also abort a request if the stream itself cancels. E.g. if you can't
write anymore. In this case we should not write anything to the outgoing
stream since it's supposed to be closed already now. However, we should
still abort the request so that more work isn't performed and so that we
can log the reason for it to the onError callback.
We should also not do any work after aborting.
There we need to stop the "flow" of bytes - so I call stopFlowing in the
cancel case before aborting.
The tests were testing this case but we had changed the implementation
to only start flowing at initial read (pull) instead of start like we
used to. As a result, it was no longer covering this case. We have to
call reader.read() in the tests to start the flow so that we need to
cancel it.
We also were missing a final assertion on the error logs and since we
were tracking them explicitly the extra error was silenced.
If a Server Action is passed to useFormState, the action may be
submitted before it has hydrated. This will trigger a full page
(MPA-style) navigation. We can transfer the form state to the next page
by comparing the key path of the hook instance.
`ReactServerDOMServer.decodeFormState` is used by the server to extract
the form state from the submitted action. This value can then be passed
as an option when rendering the new page. It must be passed during both
SSR and hydration.
```js
const boundAction = await decodeAction(formData, serverManifest);
const result = await boundAction();
const formState = decodeFormState(result, formData, serverManifest);
// SSR
const response = createFromReadableStream(<App />);
const ssrStream = await renderToReadableStream(response, { formState })
// Hydration
hydrateRoot(container, <App />, { formState });
```
If the `formState` option is omitted, then the state won't be
transferred to the next page. However, it must be passed in both places,
or in neither; misconfiguring will result in a hydration mismatch.
(The `formState` option is currently prefixed with `experimental_`)
Just moving some internal code around again.
I originally encoded what type of work using startRender vs
startPrerender. I had intended to do more forking of the work loop but
we've decided not to go with that strategy. It also turns out that
forking when we start working is actually too late because of a subtle
thing where you can call abort before work begins. Therefore it's
important that starting the work comes later.
This is basically the implementation for the prerender pass.
Instead of forking basically the whole implementation for prerender, I
just add a conditional field on the request. If it's `null` it behaves
like before. If it's non-`null` then instead of triggering client
rendered boundaries it triggers those into a "postponed" state which is
basically just a variant of "pending". It's supposed to be filled in
later.
It also builds up a serializable tree of which path can be followed to
find the holes. This is basically a reverse `KeyPath` tree.
It is unfortunate that this approach adds more code to the regular Fizz
builds but in practice. It seems like this side is not going to add much
code and we might instead just want to merge the builds so that it's
smaller when you have `prerender` and `resume` in the same bundle -
which I think will be common in practice.
This just implements the prerender side, and not the resume side, which
is why the tests have a TODO. That's in a follow up PR.
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.
We already did this for Server References on the Client so this brings
us parity with that. This gives us some more flexibility with changing
the runtime implementation without having to affect the loaders.
We can also do more in the runtime such as adding `.bind()` support to
Server References.
I also moved the CommonJS Proxy creation into the runtime helper from
the register so that it can be handled in one place.
This lets us remove the forks from Next.js since the loaders can be
simplified there to just use these helpers.
This PR doesn't change the protocol or shape of the objects. They're
still specific to each bundler but ideally we should probably move this
to shared helpers that can be used by multiple bundler implementations.
This automatically exposes `$$FORM_ACTIONS` on Server References coming
from Flight. So that when they're used in a form action, we can encode
the ID for the server reference as a hidden field or as part of the name
of a button.
If the Server Action is a bound function it can have complex data
associated with it. In this case this additional data is encoded as
additional form fields.
To process a POST on the server there's now a `decodeAction` helper that
can take one of these progressive posts from FormData and give you a
function that is prebound with the correct closure and FormData so that
you can just invoke it.
I updated the fixture which now has a "Server State" that gets
automatically refreshed. This also lets us visualize form fields.
There's no "Action State" here for showing error messages that are not
thrown, that's still up to user space.

This lets you pass FormData objects through the Flight Reply
serialization. It does that by prefixing each entry with the ID of the
reference and then the decoding side creates a new FormData object
containing only those fields (without the prefix).
Ideally this should be more generic. E.g. you should be able to pass
Blobs, Streams and Typed Arrays by reference inside plain objects too.
You should also be able to send Blobs and FormData in the regular Flight
serialization too so that they can go both directions. They should be
symmetrical. We'll get around to adding more of those features in the
Flight protocol as we go.

Added an explicit type to all $FlowFixMe suppressions to reduce
over-suppressions of new errors that might be caused on the same lines.
Also removes suppressions that aren't used (e.g. in a `@noflow` file as
they're purely misleading)
Test Plan:
yarn flow-ci
This adds `encodeReply` to the Flight Client and `decodeReply` to the
Flight Server.
Basically, it's a reverse Flight. It serializes values passed from the
client to the server. I call this a "Reply". The tradeoffs and
implementation details are a bit different so it requires its own
implementation but is basically a clone of the Flight Server/Client but
in reverse. Either through callServer or ServerContext.
The goal of this project is to provide the equivalent serialization as
passing props through RSC to client. Except React Elements and
Components and such. So that you can pass a value to the client and back
and it should have the same serialization constraints so when we add
features in one direction we should mostly add it in the other.
Browser support for streaming request bodies are currently very limited
in that only Chrome supports it. So this doesn't produce a
ReadableStream. Instead `encodeReply` produces either a JSON string or
FormData. It uses a JSON string if it's a simple enough payload. For
advanced features it uses FormData. This will also let the browser
stream things like File objects (even though they're not yet supported
since it follows the same rules as the other Flight).
On the server side, you can either consume this by blocking on
generating a FormData object or you can stream in the
`multipart/form-data`. Even if the client isn't streaming data, the
network does. On Node.js busboy seems to be the canonical library for
this, so I exposed a `decodeReplyFromBusboy` in the Node build. However,
if there's ever a web-standard way to stream form data, or if a library
wins in that space we can support it. We can also just build a multipart
parser that takes a ReadableStream built-in.
On the server, server references passed as arguments are loaded from
Node or Webpack just like the client or SSR does. This means that you
can create higher order functions on the client or server. This can be
tokenized when done from a server components but this is a security
implication as it might be tempting to think that these are not fungible
but you can swap one function for another on the client. So you have to
basically treat an incoming argument as insecure, even if it's a
function.
I'm not too happy with the naming parity:
Encode `server.renderToReadableStream` Decode: `client.createFromFetch`
Decode `client.encodeReply` Decode: `server.decodeReply`
This is mainly an implementation details of frameworks but it's annoying
nonetheless. This comes from that `renderToReadableStream` does do some
"rendering" by unwrapping server components etc. The `create` part comes
from the parity with Fizz/Fiber where you `render` on the server and
`create` a root on the client.
Open to bike-shedding this some more.

This is just moving some stuff around and renaming things.
This tuple is opaque to the Flight implementation and we should probably
encode it separately as a single string instead of a model object.
The term "Metadata" isn't the same as when used for ClientReferences so
it's not really the right term anyway.
I also made it optional since a bound function with no arguments bound
is technically different than a raw instance of that function (it's a
clone).
I also renamed the type ReactModel to ReactClientValue. This is the
generic serializable type for something that can pass through the
serializable boundary from server to client. There will be another one
for client to server.
I also filled in missing classes and ensure the serializable sub-types
are explicit. E.g. Array and Thenable.
We currently abuse the browser builds for Web streams derived
environments. We already have a special build for Bun but we should also
have one for [other "edge"
runtimes](https://runtime-keys.proposal.wintercg.org/) so that we can
maximally take advantage of the APIs that exist on each platform.
In practice, we currently check for a global property called
`AsyncLocalStorage` in the server browser builds which we shouldn't
really do since browsers likely won't ever have it. Additionally, this
should probably move to an import which we can't add to actual browser
builds where that will be an invalid import. So it has to be a separate
build. That's not done yet in this PR but Vercel will follow
Cloudflare's lead here.
The `deno` key still points to the browser build since there's no
AsyncLocalStorage there but it could use this same or a custom build if
support is added.
