Sebastian Markbåge ea05b750a5 Allow Passing Blob/File/MediaSource/MediaStream to src of <img>, <video> and <audio> (#32828)
Behind the `enableSrcObject` flag. This is revisiting a variant of what
was discussed in #11163.

Instead of supporting the [`srcObject`
property](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement/srcObject)
as a separate name, this adds an overload of `src` to allow objects to
be passed. The DOM needs to add separate properties for the object forms
since you read back but it doesn't make sense for React's write-only API
to do that. Similar to how we'll like add an overload for
`popoverTarget` instead of calling it `popoverTargetElement` and how
`style` accepts an object and it's not `styleObject={{...}}`.

There are a number of reason to revisit this.

- It's just way more convenient to have this built-in and it makes
conceptual sense. We typically support declarative APIs and polyfill
them when necessary.
- RSC supports Blobs and by having it built-in you don't need a Client
Component wrapper to render it where as doing it with effects would
require more complex wrappers. By picking Blobs over base64,
client-navigations can use the more optimized binary encoding in the RSC
protocol.
- The timing aspect of coordinating it with Suspensey images and image
decoding is a bit tricky to get right because if you set it in an effect
it's too late because you've already rendered it.
- SSR gets complicated when done in user space because you have to
handle both branches. Likely with `useSyncExternalStore`.
- By having it built-in we could optimize the payloads shared between
RSC payloads embedded in the HTML and data URLs.

This does not support objects for `<source src>` nor `<img srcset>`.
Those don't really have equivalents in the DOM neither. They're mainly
for picking an option when you don't know programmatically. However, for
this use case you're really better off picking a variant before
generating the blobs.

We may support Response objects in the future too as per

react-dom

This package serves as the entry point to the DOM and server renderers for React. It is intended to be paired with the generic React package, which is shipped as react to npm.

Installation

npm install react react-dom

Usage

In the browser

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function App() {
  return <div>Hello World</div>;
}

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<App />);

On the server

import { renderToPipeableStream } from 'react-dom/server';

function App() {
  return <div>Hello World</div>;
}

function handleRequest(res) {
  // ... in your server handler ...
  const stream = renderToPipeableStream(<App />, {
    onShellReady() {
      res.statusCode = 200;
      res.setHeader('Content-type', 'text/html');
      stream.pipe(res);
    },
    // ...
  });
}
