This was really meant to be there from the beginning. A `cache()`:ed
entry has a life time. On the server this ends when the render finishes.
On the client this ends when the cache of that scope gets refreshed.
When a cache is no longer needed, it should be possible to abort any
outstanding network requests or other resources. That's what
`cacheSignal()` gives you. It returns an `AbortSignal` which aborts when
the cache lifetime is done based on the same execution scope as a
`cache()`ed function - i.e. `AsyncLocalStorage` on the server or the
render scope on the client.
```js
import {cacheSignal} from 'react';
async function Component() {
await fetch(url, { signal: cacheSignal() });
}
```
For `fetch` in particular, a patch should really just do this
automatically for you. But it's useful for other resources like database
connections.
Another reason it's useful to have a `cacheSignal()` is to ignore any
errors that might have triggered from the act of being aborted. This is
just a general useful JavaScript pattern if you have access to a signal:
```js
async function getData(id, signal) {
try {
await queryDatabase(id, { signal });
} catch (x) {
if (!signal.aborted) {
logError(x); // only log if it's a real error and not due to cancellation
}
return null;
}
}
```
This just gets you a convenient way to get to it without drilling
through so a more idiomatic code in React might look something like.
```js
import {cacheSignal} from "react";
async function getData(id) {
try {
await queryDatabase(id);
} catch (x) {
if (!cacheSignal()?.aborted) {
logError(x);
}
return null;
}
}
```
If it's called outside of a React render, we normally treat any cached
functions as uncached. They're not an error call. They can still load
data. It's just not cached. This is not like an aborted signal because
then you couldn't issue any requests. It's also not like an infinite
abort signal because it's not actually cached forever. Therefore,
`cacheSignal()` returns `null` when called outside of a React render
scope.
Notably the `signal` option passed to `renderToReadableStream` in both
SSR (Fizz) and RSC (Flight Server) is not the same instance that comes
out of `cacheSignal()`. If you abort the `signal` passed in, then the
`cacheSignal()` is also aborted with the same reason. However, the
`cacheSignal()` can also get aborted if the render completes
successfully or fatally errors during render - allowing any outstanding
work that wasn't used to clean up. In the future we might also expand on
this to give different
[`TaskSignal`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TaskSignal)
to different scopes to pass different render or network priorities.
On the client version of `"react"` this exposes a noop (both for
Fiber/Fizz) due to `disableClientCache` flag but it's exposed so that
you can write shared code.
react
React is a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces.
The react package contains only the functionality necessary to define React components. It is typically used together with a React renderer like react-dom for the web, or react-native for the native environments.
Note: by default, React will be in development mode. The development version includes extra warnings about common mistakes, whereas the production version includes extra performance optimizations and strips all error messages. Don't forget to use the production build when deploying your application.
Usage
import { useState } from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<>
<h1>{count}</h1>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Increment
</button>
</>
);
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<Counter />);
