We used to have Event Replaying for any kind of Discrete event where
we'd track any event after hydrateRoot and before the async code/data
has loaded in to hydrate the target. However, this didn't really work
out because code inside event handlers are expected to be able to
synchronously read the state of the world at the time they're invoked.
If we replay discrete events later, the mutable state around them like
selection or form state etc. may have changed.
This limitation doesn't apply to Client Actions:
- They're expected to be async functions that themselves work
asynchronously. They're conceptually also in the "navigation" events
that happen after the "submit" events so they're already not
synchronously even before the first `await`.
- They're expected to operate mostly on the FormData as input which we
can snapshot at the time of the event.
This PR adds a bit of inline script to the Fizz runtime (or external
runtime) to track any early submit events on the page - but only if the
action URL is our placeholder `javascript:` URL. We track a queue of
these on `document.$$reactFormReplay`. Then we replay them in order as
they get hydrated and we get a handle on the Client Action function.
I add the runtime to the `bootstrapScripts` phase in Fizz which is
really technically a little too late, because on a large page, it might
take a while to get to that script even if you have displayed the form.
However, that's also true for external runtime. So there's a very short
window we might miss an event but it's good enough and better than
risking blocking display on this script.
The main thing that makes the replaying difficult to reason about is
that we can have multiple instance of React using this same queue. This
would be very usual but you could have two different Reacts SSR:ing
different parts of the tree and using around the same version. We don't
have any coordinating ids for this. We could stash something on the form
perhaps but given our current structure it's more difficult to get to
the form instance in the commit phase and a naive solution wouldn't
preserve ordering between forms.
This solution isn't 100% guaranteed to preserve ordering between
different React instances neither but should be in order within one
instance which is the common case.
The hard part is that we don't know what instance something will belong
to until it hydrates. So to solve that I keep everything in the original
queue while we wait, so that ordering is preserved until we know which
instance it'll go into. I ended up doing a bunch of clever tricks to
make this work. These could use a lot more tests than I have right now.
Another thing that's tricky is that you can update the action before
it's replayed but we actually want to invoke the old action if that
happens. So we have to extract it even if we can't invoke it right now
just so we get the one that was there during hydration.
## Hoistables
In the original implementation of Float, all hoisted elements were
treated like Resources. They had deduplication semantics and hydrated
based on a key. This made certain kinds of hoists very challenging such
as sequences of meta tags for `og:image:...` metadata. The reason is
each tag along is not dedupable based on only it's intrinsic properties.
two identical tags may need to be included and hoisted together with
preceding meta tags that describe a semantic object with a linear set of
html nodes.
It was clear that the concept of Browser Resources (stylesheets /
scripts / preloads) did not extend universally to all hositable tags
(title, meta, other links, etc...)
Additionally while Resources benefit from deduping they suffer an
inability to update because while we may have multiple rendered elements
that refer to a single Resource it isn't unambiguous which element owns
the props on the underlying resource. We could try merging props, but
that is still really hard to reason about for authors. Instead we
restrict Resource semantics to freezing the props at the time the
Resource is first constructed and warn if you attempt to render the same
Resource with different props via another rendered element or by
updating an existing element for that Resource.
This lack of updating restriction is however way more extreme than
necessary for instances that get hoisted but otherwise do not dedupe;
where there is a well defined DOM instance for each rendered element. We
should be able to update props on these instances.
Hoistable is a generalization of what Float tries to model for hoisting.
Instead of assuming every hoistable element is a Resource we now have
two distinct categories, hoistable elements and hoistable resources. As
one might guess the former has semantics that match regular Host
Components except the placement of the node is usually in the <head>.
The latter continues to behave how the original implementation of
HostResource behaved with the first iteration of Float
### Hoistable Element
On the server hoistable elements render just like regular tags except
the output is stored in special queues that can be emitted in the stream
earlier than they otherwise would be if rendered in place. This also
allow for instance the ability to render a hoistable before even
rendering the <html> tag because the queues for hoistable elements won't
flush until after we have flushed the preamble (`<DOCTYPE
html><html><head>`).
On the client, hoistable elements largely operate like HostComponents.
The most notable difference is in the hydration strategy. If we are
hydrating and encounter a hoistable element we will look for all tags in
the document that could potentially be a match and we check whether the
attributes match the props for this particular instance. We also do this
in the commit phase rather than the render phase. The reason hydration
can be done for HostComponents in render is the instance will be removed
from the document if hydration fails so mutating it in render is safe.
For hoistables the nodes are not in a hydration boundary (Root or
SuspenseBoundary at time of writing) and thus if hydration fails and we
may have an instance marked as bound to some Fiber when that Fiber never
commits. Moving the hydration matching to commit ensures we will always
succeed in pairing the hoisted DOM instance with a Fiber that has
committed.
### Hoistable Resource
On the server and client the semantics of Resources are largely the same
they just don't apply to title, meta, and most link tags anymore.
Resources hoist and dedupe via an `href` key and are ref counted. In a
future update we will add a garbage collector so we can clean up
Resources that no longer have any references
## `<style>` support
In earlier implementations there was no support for <style> tags. This
PR adds support for treating `<style href="..."
precedence="...">...</style>` as a Resource analagous to `<link
rel="stylesheet" href="..." precedence="..." />`
It may seem odd at first to require an href to get Resource semantics
for a style tag. The rationale is that these are for inlining of actual
external stylesheets as an optimization and for URI like scoping of
inline styles for css-in-js libraries. The href indicates that the key
space for `<style>` and `<link rel="stylesheet" />` Resources is shared.
and the precedence is there to allow for interleaving of both kinds of
Style resources. This is an advanced feature that we do not expect most
app developers to use directly but will be quite handy for various
styling libraries and for folks who want to inline as much as possible
once Fizz supports this feature.
## refactor notes
* HostResource Fiber type is renamed HostHoistable to reflect the
generalization of the concept
* The Resource object representation is modified to reduce hidden class
checks and to use less memory overall
* The thing that distinguishes a resource from an element is whether the
Fiber has a memoizedState. If it does, it will use resource semantics,
otherwise element semantics
* The time complexity of matching hositable elements for hydration
should be improved
~~[Fizz] Duplicate completeBoundaryWithStyles to not reference globals~~
## Summary
Follow-up / cleanup PR to #25437
- `completeBoundaryWithStylesInlineLocals` is used by the Fizz external
runtime, which bundles together all Fizz instruction functions (and is
able to reference / rename `completeBoundary` and `resourceMap` as
locals).
- `completeBoundaryWithStylesInlineGlobals` is used by the Fizz inline
script writer, which sends Fizz instruction functions on an as-needed
basis. This version needs to reference `completeBoundary($RC)` and
`resourceMap($RM)` as globals.
Ideally, Closure would take care of inlining a shared implementation,
but I couldn't figure out a zero-overhead inline due to lack of an
`@inline` compiler directive. It seems that Closure thinks that a shared
`completeBoundaryWithStyles` is too large and will always keep it as a
separate function. I've also tried currying / writing a higher order
function (`getCompleteBoundaryWithStyles`) with no luck
## How did you test this change?
- generated Fizz inline instructions should be unchanged
- bundle size for unstable_external_runtime should be slightly smaller
(due to lack of globals)
- `ReactDOMFizzServer-test.js` and `ReactDOMFloat-test.js` should be
unaffected
* float enhance!!!
Support preinit as script
Support resources from async scripts
Support saving the precedence place when rendering the shell
There was a significant change to the flushing order of resources which follows the general principal of...
1. stuff that blocks display
2. stuff that we know will be used
3. stuff that was explicitly preloaded
As a consequence if you preinit a style now it won't automatically flush in the shell unless you actually depend on it in your tree. To avoid races with precedence order we now emit a tag that saves the place amongst the precedence hierarchy so late insertions still end up where they were intended
There is also a novel hydration pathway for certain tags. If you render an async script with an onLoad or onError it will always treat it like an insertion rather than a hydration.
* restore preinit style flushing behavior and nits
* Move Fizz inline instructions to unified module
Instead of a separate module per instruction, this exports all of them
from a unified module.
In the next step, I'll add a script to generate this new module.
* Add script to generate inline Fizz runtime
This adds a script to generate the inline Fizz runtime. Previously, the
runtime source was in an inline comment, and a compiled version of the
instructions were hardcoded as strings into the Fizz implementation,
where they are injected into the HTML stream.
I've moved the source for the instructions to a regular JavaScript
module. A script compiles the instructions with Closure, then generates
another module that exports the compiled instructions as strings.
Then the Fizz runtime imports the instructions from the
generated module.
To build the instructions, run:
yarn generate-inline-fizz-runtime
In the next step, I'll add a CI check to verify that the generated files
are up to date.
* Check in CI if generated Fizz runtime is in sync
The generated Fizz runtime is checked into source. In CI, we'll ensure
it stays in sync by running the script and confirming nothing changed.
