* Add pragma for feature testing: @gate
The `@gate` pragma declares under which conditions a test is expected to
pass.
If the gate condition passes, then the test runs normally (same as if
there were no pragma).
If the conditional fails, then the test runs and is *expected to fail*.
An alternative to `it.experimental` and similar proposals.
Examples
--------
Basic:
```js
// @gate enableBlocksAPI
test('passes only if Blocks API is available', () => {/*...*/})
```
Negation:
```js
// @gate !disableLegacyContext
test('depends on a deprecated feature', () => {/*...*/})
```
Multiple flags:
```js
// @gate enableNewReconciler
// @gate experimental
test('needs both useEvent and Blocks', () => {/*...*/})
```
Logical operators (yes, I'm sorry):
```js
// @gate experimental && (enableNewReconciler || disableSchedulerTimeoutBasedOnReactExpirationTime)
test('concurrent mode, doesn\'t work in old fork unless Scheduler timeout flag is disabled', () => {/*...*/})
```
Strings, and comparion operators
No use case yet but I figure eventually we'd use this to gate on
different release channels:
```js
// @gate channel === "experimental" || channel === "modern"
test('works in OSS experimental or www modern', () => {/*...*/})
```
How does it work?
I'm guessing those last two examples might be controversial. Supporting
those cases did require implementing a mini-parser.
The output of the transform is very straightforward, though.
Input:
```js
// @gate a && (b || c)
test('some test', () => {/*...*/})
```
Output:
```js
_test_gate(ctx => ctx.a && (ctx.b || ctx.c, 'some test'), () => {/*...*/});
```
It also works with `it`, `it.only`, and `fit`. It leaves `it.skip` and
`xit` alone because those tests are disabled anyway.
`_test_gate` is a global method that I set up in our Jest config. It
works about the same as the existing `it.experimental` helper.
The context (`ctx`) argument is whatever we want it to be. I set it up
so that it throws if you try to access a flag that doesn't exist. I also
added some shortcuts for common gating conditions, like `old`
and `new`:
```js
// @gate experimental
test('experimental feature', () => {/*...*/})
// @gate new
test('only passes in new reconciler', () => {/*...*/})
```
Why implement this as a pragma instead of a runtime API?
- Doesn't require monkey patching built-in Jest methods. Instead it
compiles to a runtime function that composes Jest's API.
- Will be easy to upgrade if Jest ever overhauls their API or we switch
to a different testing framework (unlikely but who knows).
- It feels lightweight so hopefully people won't feel gross using it.
For example, adding or removing a gate pragma will never affect the
indentation of the test, unlike if you wrapped the test in a
conditional block.
* Compatibility with console error/warning tracking
We patch console.error and console.warning to track unexpected calls
in our tests. If there's an unexpected call, we usually throw inside
an `afterEach` hook. However, that's too late for tests that we
expect to fail, because our `_test_gate` runtime can't capture the
error. So I also check for unexpected calls inside `_test_gate`.
* Move test flags to dedicated file
Added some instructions for how the flags are set up and how to
use them.
* Add dynamic version of gate API
Receives same flags as the pragma.
If we ever decide to revert the pragma, we can codemod them to use
this instead.
React · 
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.
Learn how to use React in your own project.
Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Online Playgrounds to get a taste of React.
- Add React to a Website as a
<script>tag in one minute. - Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
You can use React as a <script> tag from a CDN, or as a react package on npm.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
You can improve it by sending pull requests to this repository.
Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
ReactDOM.render(
<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />,
document.getElementById('container')
);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML. If you're using React as a <script> tag, read this section on integrating JSX; otherwise, the recommended JavaScript toolchains handle it automatically.
