There is a circular dependency between `ReactID`, `ReactMount` and
`ReactInstanceHandles`. Ben and I talked about this today. It seems like the
simplest solution is to consolidate a lot of the code that Ben recently wrote
into `ReactMount`. We can later find ways to trim code out of this module
without causing circular deps.
The `EventPluginHub` module was getting huge and scary. This pulls out all of the logic required to inject plugins and publish their event registration names into a new `EventPluginRegistry` module.
Functionally, nothing should have changed. I added many error checks to cover edge cases that we were not yet running into, but they are all in `EventPluginRegistry` and unit tested.
The most obvious manifestation of this bug is visible here:
http://jsfiddle.net/spicyj/zzGas/. In short, when props are removed from a
component, the underlying HTML element doesn't have the attribute
removed.
This change should fix it, but unfortunately it (presumably) makes
_updateDOMProperties a bit slower.
IE8 doesn't support oninput and IE9 supports it badly but we can do
almost a perfect shim by listening to a handful of different events
(focus, blur, propertychange, selectionchange, keyup, keydown).
This always triggers event handlers during the browser's event loop (not
later in a setTimeout) and after the value property has been updated.
The only case I know of where this doesn't fire the event immediately is
if (in IE8) you modify the input value using JS and then the user does a
key repeat, in which case we fire the event on the second keydown.
Test Plan:
Modify ballmer-peak example to add es5-shim and to use onTextChange
instead of onInput. In IE8, IE9, and latest Chrome, make sure that the
event is fired upon:
* typing normally,
* backspacing,
* forward-deleting,
* cutting,
* pasting,
* context-menu deleting,
* dragging text to reorder characters.
After modifying the example to change .value, make sure that the event
is not fired as a result of the changes from JS (even when the input box
is focused).
This improved browser support for the `wheel` event.
- Try to use `wheel` event (DOM Level 3 Specification).
- Fallback to `mousewheel` event.
- Fallback to `DOMMouseWheel` (older Firefox).
Also, since `wheel` is the standard event name, let's use that in React.
NOTE: The tricky part was detecting if `wheel` is supported for IE9+ because `onwheel` does not exist.
Test Plan:
Execute the following in the console on a page with React:
var React = require('React');
React.renderComponent(React.DOM.div({
style: {
width: 10000,
height: 10000
},
onWheel: function() {
console.log('wheel');
}
}, null), document.body);
Verified that mousewheel events are logged to the console.
Verified in IE8-10, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
Summary:
This makes a few changes to React Core, most notably `ReactEventEmitter` and `ReactEventTopLevelCallback`.
- Changed `ReactEventEmitter` to use `EventListener` (instead of `NormalizedEventListener`).
- Deleted `NormalizedEventListener` (which was previously broken).
- Created `getEventTarget` which is used to get a normalized `target` from a native event.
- Changed `ReactEventTopLevelCallback` to use `getEventTarget`.
- Renamed `abstractEventType` to `reactEventType` in `AbstractEvent`.
- Reanmed `abstractTargetID` to `reactTargetID` in `AbstractEvent`.
- Removed `originatingTopLevelEventType` from `AbstractEvent` (unused and violates encapsulation).
- Removed `nativeEvent.target === window` check when refreshing authoritative scroll values (unnecessary).
This actually fixes React because `NormalizedEventListener` does not currently do what it promises to do (which is normalizing `target` on the native event). The `target` event is read-only on native events.
This also revises documentation and adds `@typechecks` to a few modules.
NOTE: Most importantly, this sets the stage for replacing `AbstractEvent` with `ReactEvent` and subclasses, piecemeal.
ReactEvent should be reserved for the actual object created when an
event fires. The current ReactEvent is more like EventEmitter than
anything (e.g. it sets up delegation, provides methods to attach and
remove listeners).
