I'm a bit ambivalent about this one because it's not the main strategy
that I plan on pursuing. I plan on replacing most DEV-only specific
stacks like `console.error` stacks with a new take on owner stacks and
native stacks. The future owner stacks may or may not be exposed to
error boundaries in DEV but if they are they'd be a new errorInfo
property since they're owner based and not available in prod.
The use case in `console.error` mostly goes away in the future so this
PR is mainly for error boundaries. It doesn't hurt to have it in there
while I'm working on the better stacks though.
The `componentStack` property exposed to error boundaries is more like
production behavior similar to `new Error().stack` (which even in DEV
won't ever expose owner stacks because `console.createTask` doesn't
affect these). I'm not sure it's worth adding server components in DEV
(this PR) because then you have forked behavior between dev and prod.
However, since even in the future there won't be any other place to get
the *parent* stack, maybe this can be useful information even if it's
only dev. We could expose a third property on errorInfo that's DEV only
and parent stack but including server components. That doesn't seem
worth it over just having the stack differ in dev and prod.
I don't plan on adding line/column number to these particular stacks.
A follow up could be to add this to Fizz prerender too but only in DEV.
Builds on top of #28384.
This prefixes each log with a badge similar to how we badge built-ins
like "ForwardRef" and "Memo" in the React DevTools. The idea is that we
can add such badges in DevTools for Server Components too to carry on
the consistency.
This puts the "environment" name in the badge which defaults to
"Server". So you know which source it is coming from.
We try to use the same styling as the React DevTools. We use light-dark
mode where available to support the two different color styles, but if
it's not available I use a fixed background so that it's always readable
even in dark mode.
In Terminals, instead of hard coding colors that might not look good
with some themes, I use the ANSI color code to flip
background/foreground colors in that case.
In earlier commits I had it on the end of the line similar to the
DevTools badges but for multiline I found it better to prefix it. We
could try various options tough.
In most cases we can use both ANSI and the `%c` CSS color specifier,
because node will only use ANSI and hide the other. Chrome supports both
but the color overrides ANSI if it comes later (and Chrome doesn't
support color inverting anyway). Safari/Firefox prints the ANSI, so it
can only use CSS colors.
Therefore in browser builds I exclude ANSI.
On the server I support both so if you use Chrome inspector on the
server, you get nice colors on both terminal and in the inspector.
Since Bun uses WebKit inspector and it prints the ANSI we can't safely
emit both there. However, we also can't emit just the color specifier
because then it prints in the terminal.
https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/9021 So we just use a plain string
prefix for now with a bracket until that's fixed.

When developing in an RSC environment, you should be able to work in a
single environment as if it was a unified environment. With thrown
errors we already serialize them and then rethrow them on the client.
Since by default we log them via onError both in Flight and Fizz, you
can get the same log in the RSC runtime, the SSR runtime and on the
client.
With console logs made in SSR renders, you typically replay the same
code during hydration on the client. So for example warnings already
show up both in the SSR logs and on the client (although not guaranteed
to be the same). You could just spend your time in the client and you'd
be fine.
Previously, RSC logs would not be replayed because they don't hydrate.
So it's easy to miss warnings for example.
With this approach, we replay RSC logs both during SSR so they end up in
the SSR logs and on the client. That way you can just stay in the
browser window during normal development cycles. You shouldn't have to
care if your component is a server or client component when working on
logical things or iterating on a product.
With this change, you probably should mostly ignore the Flight log
stream and just look at the client or maybe the SSR one. Unless you're
digging into something specific. In particular if you just naively run
both Flight and Fizz in the same terminal you get duplicates. I like to
run out fixtures `yarn dev:region` and `yarn dev:global` in two separate
terminals.
Console logs may contain complex objects which can be inspected. Ideally
a DevTools inspector could reach into the RSC server and remotely
inspect objects using the remote inspection protocol. That way complex
objects can be loaded on demand as you expand into them. However, that
is a complex environment to set up and the server might not even be
alive anymore by the time you inspect the objects. Therefore, I do a
best effort to serialize the objects using the RSC protocol but limit
the depth that can be rendered.
This feature is only own in dev mode since it can be expensive.
In a follow up, I'll give the logs a special styling treatment to
clearly differentiate them from logs coming from the client. As well as
deal with stacks.
Since this is more about specifically the streaming protocol and I'll
add other dimensions that don't map 1:1.
E.g. some configs need to be the same across all servers.

Changes the behavior of the JSX runtime to pass through `ref` as a
normal prop, rather than plucking it from the props object and storing
on the element.
This is a breaking change since it changes the type of the receiving
component. However, most code is unaffected since it's unlikely that a
component would have attempted to access a `ref` prop, since it was not
possible to get a reference to one.
`forwardRef` _will_ still pluck `ref` from the props object, though,
since it's extremely common for users to spread the props object onto
the inner component and pass `ref` as a differently named prop. This is
for maximum compatibility with existing code — the real impact of this
change is that `forwardRef` is no longer required.
Currently, refs are resolved during child reconciliation and stored on
the fiber. As a result of this change, we can move ref resolution to
happen only much later, and only for components that actually use them.
Then we can remove the `ref` field from the Fiber type. I have not yet
done that in this step, though.
This won't ever be serialized and is likely just a mistake.
This should be covered by the "use server" compiler since it ensures
that something that accepts a "this" won't be allowed to compile and if
it doesn't accept it, TypeScript should ideally forbid it to be passed.
So maybe this is unnecessary.
Same as #28327 but for Fizz.
One thing that's weird about this recoverable error is that we don't
send the regular stack for it, just the component stack it seems. This
is missing some potential information and if we move toward integrated
since stacks it would be one thing.
Also deals with symbols. Alternative to #28312.
We currently always normalize rejections or thrown values into `Error`
objects. Partly because in prod it'll be an error object and you
shouldn't fork behavior on knowing the value outside a digest. We might
want to even make the message always opaque to avoid being tempted and
then discover in prod that it doesn't work.
However, we do include the message in DEV.
If this is a non-Error object we don't know what the properties mean.
Ofc, we don't want to include too much information in the rendered
string, so we use the general `describeObjectForErrorMessage` helper.
Unfortunately it's pretty conservative about emitting values so it's
likely to exclude any embedded string atm. Could potentially expand it a
bit.
We could in theory try to serialize as much as possible and re-throw the
actual object to allow for inspection to be expanded inside devtools
which is what I plan on for consoles, but since we're normalizing to an
Error this is in conflict with that approach.
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.
There are three parts to an RSC set up:
- React
- Bundler
- Endpoints
Most customizability is in the bundler configs. We deal with those as
custom builds.
To create a full set up, you need to also configure ways to expose end
points for example to call a Server Action. That's typically not
something the bundler is responsible for even though it's responsible
for gathering the end points that needs generation. Exposing which
endpoints to generate is a responsibility for the bundler.
Typically a meta-framework is responsible for generating the end points.
There's two ways to "call" a Server Action. Through JS and through a
Form. Through JS we expose the `callServer` callback so that the
framework can call the end point.
Forms by default POST back to the current page with an action serialized
into form data, which we have a decoder helper for. However, this is not
something that React is really opinionated about just like we're not
opinionated about the protocol used by callServer.
This exposes an option to configure the encoding of the form props.
`encodeFormAction` is to the SSR is what `callServer` is to the Browser.
That way we can use it for debug information like component stacks and
DevTools. I used an extra stack argument in Child Fiber to track this as
it's flowing down since it's not just elements where we have this info
readily available but parent arrays and lazy can merge this into the
Fiber too. It's not great that this is a dev-only argument and I could
track it globally but seems more likely to make mistakes.
It is possible for the same debug info to appear for multiple child
fibers like when it's attached to a fragment or a lazy that resolves to
a fragment at the root. The object identity could be used in these
scenarios to infer if that's really one server component that's a parent
of all children or if each child has a server component with the same
name.
This is effectively a public API because you can use it to stash
information on Promises from a third-party service - not just Server
Components. I started outline the types for this for some things I was
planning to add but it's not final.
I was also planning on storing it from `use(thenable)` for when you
suspend on a Promise. However, I realized that there's no Hook instance
for those to stash it on. So it might need a separate data structure to
stash the previous pass over of `use()` that resets each render.
No tests yet since I didn't want to test internals but it'll be covered
once we have debugging features like component stacks.
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.
This adds a new DEV-only row type `D` for DebugInfo. If we see this in
prod, that's an error. It can contain extra debug information about the
Server Components (or Promises) that were compiled away during the
server render. It's DEV-only since this can contain sensitive
information (similar to errors) and since it'll be a lot of data, but
it's worth using the same stream for simplicity rather than a
side-channel.
In this first pass it's just the Server Component's name but I'll keep
adding more debug info to the stream, and it won't always just be a
Server Component's stack frame.
Each row can get more debug rows data streaming in as it resolves and
renders multiple server components in a row.
The data structure is just a side-channel and it would be perfectly fine
to ignore the D rows and it would behave the same as prod. With this
data structure though the data is associated with the row ID / chunk, so
you can't have inline meta data. This means that an inline Server
Component that doesn't get an ID otherwise will need to be outlined. The
way I outline Server Components is using a direct reference where it's
synchronous though so on the client side it behaves the same (i.e.
there's no lazy wrapper in this case).
In most cases the `_debugInfo` is on the Promises that we yield and we
also expose this on the `React.Lazy` wrappers. In the case where it's a
synchronous render it might attach this data to Elements or Arrays
(fragments) too.
In a future PR I'll wire this information up with Fiber to stash it in
the Fiber data structures so that DevTools can pick it up. This property
and the information in it is not limited to Server Components. The name
of the property that we look for probably shouldn't be `_debugInfo`
since it's semi-public. Should consider the name we use for that.
If it's a synchronous render that returns a string or number (text node)
then we don't have anywhere to attach them to. We could add a
`React.Lazy` wrapper for those but I chose to prioritize keeping the
data structure untouched. Can be useful if you use Server Components to
render data instead of React Nodes.
Along with all the places using it like the `_debugSource` on Fiber.
This still lets them be passed into `createElement` (and JSX dev
runtime) since those can still be used in existing already compiled code
and we don't want that to start spreading to DOM attributes.
We used to have a DEV mode that compiles the source location of JSX into
the compiled output. This was nice because we could get the actual call
site of the JSX (instead of just somewhere in the component). It had a
bunch of issues though:
- It only works with JSX.
- The way this source location is compiled is different in all the
pipelines along the way. It relies on this transform being first and the
source location we want to extract but it doesn't get preserved along
source maps and don't have a way to be connected to the source hosted by
the source maps. Ideally it should just use the mechanism other source
maps use.
- Since it's expensive it only works in DEV so if it's used for
component stacks it would vary between dev and prod.
- It only captures the callsite of the JSX and not the stack between the
component and that callsite. In the happy case it's in the component but
not always.
Instead, we have another zero-cost trick to extract the call site of
each component lazily only if it's needed. This ensures that component
stacks are the same in DEV and PROD. At the cost of worse line number
information.
The better way to get the JSX call site would be to get it from `new
Error()` or `console.createTask()` inside the JSX runtime which can
capture the whole stack in a consistent way with other source mappings.
We might explore that in the future.
This removes source location info from React DevTools and React Native
Inspector. The "jump to source code" feature or inspection can be made
lazy instead by invoking the lazy component stack frame generation. That
way it can be made to work in prod too. The filtering based on file path
is a bit trickier.
When redesigned this UI should ideally also account for more than one
stack frame.
With this change the DEV only Babel transforms are effectively
deprecated since they're not necessary for anything.
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.
Conceptually a Server Component in the tree is the same as a Client
Component.
When we render a Server Component with a key, that key should be used as
part of the reconciliation process to ensure the children's state are
preserved when they move in a set. The key of a child should also be
used to clear the state of the children when that key changes.
Conversely, if a Server Component doesn't have a key it should get an
implicit key based on the slot number. It should not inherit the key of
its children since the children don't know if that would collide with
other keys in the set the Server Component is rendered in.
A Client Component also has an identity based on the function's
implementation type. That mainly has to do with the state (or future
state after a refactor) that Component might contain. To transfer state
between two implementations it needs to be of the same state type. This
is not a concern for a Server Components since they never have state so
identity doesn't matter.
A Component returns a set of children. If it returns a single child,
that's the same as returning a fragment of one child. So if you
conditionally return a single child or a fragment, they should
technically reconcile against each other.
The simple way to do this is to simply emit a Fragment for every Server
Component. That would be correct in all cases. Unfortunately that is
also unfortunate since it bloats the payload in the common cases. It
also means that Fiber creates an extra indirection in the runtime.
Ideally we want to fold Server Component aways into zero cost on the
client. At least where possible. The common cases are that you don't
specify a key on a single return child, and that you do specify a key on
a Server Component in a dynamic set.
The approach in this PR treats a Server Component that returns other
Server Components or Lazy Nodes as a sequence that can be folded away.
I.e. the parts that don't generate any output in the RSC payload.
Instead, it keeps track of their keys on an internal "context". Which
gets reset after each new reified JSON node gets rendered.
Then we transfer the accumulated keys from any parent Server Components
onto the child element. In the simple case, the child just inherits the
key of the parent.
If the Server Component itself is keyless but a child isn't, we have to
add a wrapper fragment to ensure that this fragment gets the implicit
key but we can still use the key to reset state. This is unusual though
because typically if you keyed something it's because it was already in
a fragment.
In the case a Server Component is keyed but forks its children using a
fragment, we need to key that fragment so that the whole set can move
around as one. In theory this could be flattened into a parent array but
that gets tricky if something suspends, because then we can't send the
siblings early.
The main downside of this approach is that switching between single
child and fragment in a Server Component isn't always going to reconcile
against each other. That's because if we saw a single child first, we'd
have to add the fragment preemptively in case it forks later. This
semantic of React isn't very well known anyway and it might be ok to
break it here for pragmatic reasons. The tests document this
discrepancy.
Another compromise of this approach is that when combining keys we don't
escape them fully. We instead just use a simple `,` separated concat.
This is probably good enough in practice. Additionally, since we don't
encode the implicit 0 index slot key, you can move things around between
parents which shouldn't really reconcile but does. This keeps the keys
shorter and more human readable.
The internal file ReactSharedSubset is what the `react` module resolves
to when imported from a Server Component environment. We gave it this
name because, originally, the idea was that Server Components can access
a subset of the APIs available on the client.
However, since then, we've also added APIs that can _only_ by accessed
on the server and not the client. In other words, it's no longer a
subset, it's a slightly different overlapping set.
So this commit renames ReactSharedSubet to ReactServer and updates all
the references. This does not affect the public API, only our internal
implementation.
If this is a client reference we shouldn't dot into it, which would
throw in the proxy.
Interestingly our client references don't really have a `name`
associated with them for debug information so a component type doesn't
show up in error logs even though it seems like it should.
This PR adds a new FB-specific configuration of Flight. We also need to
bundle a version of ReactSharedSubset that will be used for running
Flight on the server.
This initial implementation does not support server actions yet.
The FB-Flight still uses the text protocol on the server (the flag
`enableBinaryFlight` is set to false). It looks like we need some
changes in Hermes to properly support this binary format.
Updates useFormState to allow a sync function to be passed as an action.
A form action is almost always async, because it needs to talk to the
server. But since we support client-side actions, too, there's no reason
we can't allow sync actions, too.
I originally chose not to allow them to keep the implementation simpler
but it's not really that much more complicated because we already
support this for actions passed to startTransition. So now it's
consistent: anywhere an action is accepted, a sync client function is a
valid input.
Now that we no longer support Server Context, we can now deduplicate
objects. It's not completely safe for useId but only in the same way as
it's not safe if you reuse elements on the client, so it's not a new
issue.
This also solves cyclic object references.
The issue is that we prefer to inline objects into a plain JSON format
when an object is not going to get reused. In this case the object
doesn't have an id. We could potentially serialize a reference to an
existing model + a path to it but it bloats the format and complicates
the client.
In a smarter flush phase like we have in Fizz we could choose to inline
or outline depending on what we've discovered so far before a flush. We
can't do that here since we use native stringify. However, even in that
solution you might not know that you're going to discover the same
object later so it's not perfect deduping anyway.
Instead, I use a heuristic where I mark previously seen objects and if I
ever see that object again, then I'll outline it. The idea is that most
objects are just going to be emitted once and if it's more than once
it's fairly likely you have a shared reference to it somewhere and it
might be more than two.
The third object gets deduplicated (or "detriplicated").
It's not a perfect heuristic because when we write the second object we
will have already visited all the nested objects inside of it, which
causes us to outline every nested object too even those weren't
reference more than by that parent. Not sure how to solve for that.
If we for some other reason outline an object such as if it suspends,
then it's truly deduplicated since it already has an id.
We only allow plain objects that can be faithfully serialized and
deserialized through JSON to pass through the serialization boundary.
It's a bit too expensive to do all the possible checks in production so
we do most checks in DEV, so it's still possible to pass an object in
production by mistake. This is currently exaggerated by frameworks
because the logs on the server aren't visible enough. Even so, it's
possible to do a mistake without testing it in DEV or just testing a
conditional branch. That might have security implications if that object
wasn't supposed to be passed.
We can't rely on only checking if the prototype is `Object.prototype`
because that wouldn't work with cross-realm objects which is
unfortunate. However, if it isn't, we can check wether it has exactly
one prototype on the chain which would catch the common error of passing
a class instance.
This lets a registered object or value be "tainted", which we block from
crossing the serialization boundary. It's only allowed to stay
in-memory.
This is an extra layer of protection against mistakes of transferring
data from a data access layer to a client. It doesn't provide perfect
protection, because it doesn't trace through derived values and
substrings. So it shouldn't be used as the only security layer but more
layers are better.
`taintObjectReference` is for specific object instances, not any nested
objects or values inside that object. It's useful to avoid specific
objects from getting passed as is. It ensures that you don't
accidentally leak values in a specific context. It can be for security
reasons like tokens, privacy reasons like personal data or performance
reasons like avoiding passing large objects over the wire.
It might be privacy violation to leak the age of a specific user, but
the number itself isn't blocked in any other context. As soon as the
value is extracted and passed specifically without the object, it can
therefore leak.
`taintUniqueValue` is useful for high entropy values such as hashes,
tokens or crypto keys that are very unique values. In that case it can
be useful to taint the actual primitive values themselves. These can be
encoded as a string, bigint or typed array. We don't currently check for
this value in a substring or inside other typed arrays.
Since values can be created from different sources they don't just
follow garbage collection. In this case an additional object must be
provided that defines the life time of this value for how long it should
be blocked. It can be `globalThis` for essentially forever, but that
risks leaking memory for ever when you're dealing with dynamic values
like reading a token from a database. So in that case the idea is that
you pass the object that might end up in cache.
A request is the only thing that is expected to do any work. The
principle is that you can derive values from out of a tainted
entry during a request. Including stashing it in a per request cache.
What you can't do is store a derived value in a global module level
cache. At least not without also tainting the object.
I do this by simply renaming the secret export name in the "subset"
bundle and this renamed version is what the FlightServer uses.
This requires us to be more diligent about always using the correct
instance of "react" in our tests so there's a bunch of clean up for
that.
As agreed, we're removing Server Context. This was never official
documented.
We've found that it's not that useful in practice. Often the better
options are:
- Read things off the url or global scope like params or cookies.
- Use the module system for global dependency injection.
- Use `React.cache()` to dedupe multiple things instead of computing
once and passing down.
There are still legit use cases for Server Context but you have to be
very careful not to pass any large data, so in generally we recommend
against it anyway.
Yes, prop drilling is annoying but it's not impossible for the cases
this is needed. I would personally always pick it over Server Context
anyway.
Semantically, Server Context also blocks object deduping due to how it
plays out with Server Components that can't be deduped. This is much
more important feature.
Since it's already in canary along with the rest of RSC, we're adding a
warning for a few versions before removing completely to help migration.

Turbopack requires a different module loading strategy than Webpack and
as such this PR implements a new package `react-server-dom-turbopack`
which largely follows the `react-server-dom-webpack` but is implemented
for this new bundler
Currently when we SSR a Flight response we do not emit any resources for
module imports. This means that when the client hydrates it won't have
already loaded the necessary scripts to satisfy the Imports defined in
the Flight payload which will lead to a delay in hydration completing.
This change updates `react-server-dom-webpack` and
`react-server-dom-esm` to emit async script tags in the head when we
encounter a modules in the flight response.
To support this we need some additional server configuration. We need to
know the path prefix for chunk loading and whether the chunks will load
with CORS or not (and if so with what configuration).
During an MPA form submission, useFormState should only reuse the form
state if same action is passed both times. (We also compare the key
paths.)
We compare the identity of the inner closure function, disregarding the
value of the bound arguments. That way you can pass an inline Server
Action closure:
```js
function FormContainer({maxLength}) {
function submitAction(prevState, formData) {
'use server'
if (formData.get('field').length > maxLength) {
return { errorMsg: 'Too many characters' };
}
// ...
}
return <Form submitAction={submitAction} />
}
```
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_`)
When Float was first developed the internal implementation and external
interface were the same. This is problematic for a few reasons. One, the
public interface is typed but it is also untrusted and we should not
assume that it is actually respected. Two, the internal implementations
can get called from places other than the the public interface and
having to construct an options argument that ends up being destructured
to process the request is computationally wasteful and may limit JIT
optimizations to some degree. Lastly, the wire format was not as
compressed as it could be and it was untyped.
This refactor aims to address that by separating the public interface
from the internal implementations so we can solve these challenges and
also make it easier to change Float in the future
* The internal dispatcher method preinit is now preinitStyle and
preinitScript.
* The internal dispatcher method preinitModule is now
preinitModuleScript in anticipation of different implementations for
other module types in the future.
* The wire format is explicitly typed and only includes options if they
are actually used omitting undefined and nulls.
* Some function arguments are not options even if they are optional. For
instance precedence can be null/undefined because we deafult it to
'default' however we don't cosnider this an option because it is not
something we transparently apply as props to the underlying instance.
* Fixes a problem with keying images in flight where srcset and sizes
were not being taken into account.
* Moves argument validation into the ReactDOMFloat file where it is
shared with all runtimes that expose these methods
* Fixes crossOrigin serialization to use empty string except when
'use-credentials'
`dom-legacy` does not make sense for Flight. we could still type check
the files but it adds maintenance burden in the inlinedHostConfigs
whenever things change there. Going to make these configs opaque mixed
types to quiet flow since no entrypoints use the flight code
That way when you bind arguments to a Server Reference, it's still a
server reference and works with progressive enhancement.
This already works on the Server (RSC) layer.
Search for more generic fork files if an exact match does not exist. If
`forks/MyFile.dom.js` exists but `forks/MyFile.dom-node.js` does not
then use it when trying to resolve forks for the `"dom-node"` renderer
in flow, tests, and build
consolidate certain fork files that were identical and make semantic
sense to be generalized
add `dom-browser-esm` bundle and use it for
`react-server-dom-esm/client.browser` build
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 uses the same mechanism as [large
strings](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26932) to encode chunks
of length based binary data in the RSC payload behind a flag.
I introduce a new BinaryChunk type that's specific to each stream and
ways to convert into it. That's because we sometimes need all chunks to
be Uint8Array for the output, even if the source is another array buffer
view, and sometimes we need to clone it before transferring.
Each type of typed array is its own row tag. This lets us ensure that
the instance is directly in the right format in the cached entry instead
of creating a wrapper at each reference. Ideally this is also how
Map/Set should work but those are lazy which complicates that approach a
bit.
We assume both server and client use little-endian for now. If we want
to support other modes, we'd convert it to/from little-endian so that
the transfer protocol is always little-endian. That way the common
clients can be the fastest possible.
So far this only implements Server to Client. Still need to implement
Client to Server for parity.
NOTE: This is the first time we make RSC effectively a binary format.
This is not compatible with existing SSR techniques which serialize the
stream as unicode in the HTML. To be compatible, those implementations
would have to use base64 or something like that. Which is what we'll do
when we move this technique to be built-in to Fizz.
Currently, only the browser build exposes the `$$FORM_ACTION` helper.
It's used for creating progressive enhancement fro Server Actions
imported from Client Components. This helper is only useful in SSR
builds so it should be included in the Edge/Node builds of the client.
I also removed it from the browser build. We assume that only the Edge
or Node builds of the client are used
together with SSR. On the client this feature is not needed so we can
exclude the code. This might be a bit unnecessary because it's not that
much code and in theory you might use SSR in a Service Worker or
something where the Browser build would be used but currently we assume
that build is only for the client. That's why it also don't take an
option for reverse
look up of file names.
We already support these in the sense that they're Iterable so they just
get serialized as arrays. However, these are part of the Structured
Clone algorithm [and should be
supported](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/25687).
The encoding is simply the same form as the Iterable, which is
conveniently the same as the constructor argument. The difference is
that now there's a separate reference to it.
It's a bit awkward because for multiple reference to the same value,
it'd be a new Map/Set instance for each reference. So to encode sharing,
it needs one level of indirection with its own ID. That's not really a
big deal for other types since they're inline anyway - but since this
needs to be outlined it creates possibly two ids where there only needs
to be one or zero.
One variant would be to encode this in the row type. Another variant
would be something like what we do for React Elements where they're
arrays but tagged with a symbol. For simplicity I stick with the simple
outlining for now.
Follow up to #26932
For regular rows, we're increasing the index by one to skip past the
last trailing newline character which acts a boundary. For length
encoded rows we shouldn't skip an extra byte because it'll leave us
missing one.
This only accidentally worked because this was also the end of the
current chunk which tests don't account for since we're just passing
through the chunks. So I added some noise by splitting and joining the
chunks so that this gets tested.
This introduces a Text row (T) which is essentially a string blob and
refactors the parsing to now happen at the binary level.
```
RowID + ":" + "T" + ByteLengthInHex + "," + Text
```
Today, we encode all row data in JSON, which conveniently never has
newline characters and so we use newline as the line terminator. We
can't do that if we pass arbitrary unicode without escaping it. Instead,
we pass the byte length (in hexadecimal) in the leading header for this
row tag followed by a comma.
We could be clever and use fixed or variable-length binary integers for
the row id and length but it's not worth the more difficult
debuggability so we keep these human readable in text.
Before this PR, we used to decode the binary stream into UTF-8 strings
before parsing them. This is inefficient because sometimes the slices
end up having to be copied so it's better to decode it directly into the
format. The follow up to this is also to add support for binary data and
then we can't assume the entire payload is UTF-8 anyway. So this
refactors the parser to parse the rows in binary and then decode the
result into UTF-8. It does add some overhead to decoding on a per row
basis though.
Since we do this, we need to encode the byte length that we want decode
- not the string length. Therefore, this requires clients to receive
binary data and why I had to delete the string option.
It also means that I had to add a way to get the byteLength from a chunk
since they're not always binary. For Web streams it's easy since they're
always typed arrays. For Node streams it's trickier so we use the
byteLength helper which may not be very efficient. Might be worth
eagerly encoding them to UTF8 - perhaps only for this case.
Follow up to #26827.
These can't include binary data and we don't really have any use cases
that really require these to already be strings.
When the stream is encoded inside another protocol - such as HTML we
need a different format that encode binary offsets and binary data.
This isn't really meant to be actually used, there are many issues with
this approach, but it shows the capabilities as a proof-of-concept.
It's a new reference implementation package `react-server-dom-esm` as
well as a fixture in `fixtures/flight-esm` (fork of `fixtures/flight`).
This works pretty much the same as pieces we already have in the Webpack
implementation but instead of loading modules using Webpack on the
client it uses native browser ESM.
To really show it off, I don't use any JSX in the fixture and so it also
doesn't use Babel or any compilation of the files.
This works because we don't actually bundle the server in the reference
implementation in the first place. We instead use [Node.js
Loaders](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#loaders) to intercept files
that contain `"use client"` and `"use server"` and replace them. There's
a simple check for those exact bytes, and no parsing, so this is very
fast.
Since the client isn't actually bundled, there's no module map needed.
We can just send the file path to the file we want to load in the RSC
payload for client references.
Since the existing reference implementation for Node.js already used ESM
to load modules on the server, that all works the same, including Server
Actions. No bundling.
There is one case that isn't implemented here. Importing a `"use
server"` file from a Client Component. We don't have that implemented in
the Webpack reference implementation neither - only in Next.js atm. In
Webpack it would be implemented as a Webpack loader.
There are a few ways this can be implemented without a bundler:
- We can intercept the request from the browser importing this file in
the HTTP server, and do a quick scan for `"use server"` in the file and
replace it just like we do with loaders in Node.js. This is effectively
how Vite works and likely how anyone using this technique would have to
support JSX anyway.
- We can use native browser "loaders" once that's eventually available
in the same way as in Node.js.
- We can generate import maps for each file and replace it with a
pointer to a placeholder file. This requires scanning these ahead of
time which defeats the purposes.
Another case that's not implemented is the inline `"use server"` closure
in a Server Component. That would require the existing loader to be a
bit smarter but would still only "compile" files that contains those
bytes in the fast path check. This would also happen in the loader that
already exists so wouldn't do anything substantially different than what
we currently have here.
The bindings upstream in Relay has been removed so we don't need these
builds anymore. The idea is to revisit an FB integration of Flight but
it wouldn't use the Relay specific bindings. It's a bit unclear how it
would look but likely more like the OSS version so not worth keeping
these around.
The `dom-relay` name also included the FB specific Fizz implementation
of the streaming config so I renamed that to `dom-fb`. There's no Fizz
implementation for Native yet so I just removed `native-relay`.
We created a configurable fork for how to encode the output of Flight
and the Relay implementation encoded it as JSON objects instead of
strings/streams. The new implementation would likely be more stream-like
and just encode it directly as string/binary chunks. So I removed those
indirections so that this can just be declared inline in
ReactFlightServer/Client.
Just a small upgrade to keep us current and remove unused suppressions
(probably fixed by some upgrade since).
- `*` is no longer allowed and has been an alias for `any` for a while
now.
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.
