Defaults to true in browser builds, otherwise defaults to false. The
assumption is that the server logs will already contain a log from the
original Flight server.
We currently always replay console logs but this leads to duplicates on
the server by default when you use SSR, because the Flight Client on the
server replays the logs. This can be nice since those logs gets badged.
It can also be nice if they're running in separate servers but when
they're logging to the same stream it's annoying. Which is really the
typical set up so we should just make that the default but leave it
configurable.
It can be efficient to accept raw string chunks to pass through a stream
instead of encoding them into a binary copy first.
Previously our Flight parsers didn't accept receiving string chunks.
That's partly because we sometimes need to encode binary chunks anyway
so string only transport isn't enough but some chunks can be strings.
This adds a partial ability for chunks to be received as strings.
However, accepting strings comes with some downsides. E.g. if the
strings are split up we need to buffer it which compromises the perf for
the common case. If the chunk represents binary data, then we'd need to
encode it back into a typed array which would require a TextEncoder
dependency in the parser. If the string chunk represents a byte length
encoded string we don't know how many unicode characters to read without
measuring them in terms of binary - also requiring a TextEncoder.
This PR is mainly intended for use for pass-through within the same
memory. We can simplify the implementation by assuming that any string
chunk is passed as the original chunk. This requires that the server
stream config doesn't arbitrarily concatenate strings (e.g. large
strings should not be concatenated which is probably a good heuristic
anyway). It also means that this is not suitable to be used with for
example receiving string chunks on the client by passing them through
SSR hydration data - except if the encoding that way was only used with
chunks that were already encoded as strings by Flight.
Web streams mostly just work on binary data anyway so they can't use
this.
In Node.js streams we concatenate precomputed and small strings into
larger buffers. It might make sense to do that using string ropes
instead. However, in the meantime we can at least pass large strings
that are outside our buffer view size as raw strings. There's no benefit
to us eagerly encoding those.
Also, let Node accept string chunks as long as they're following our
expected constraints. This lets us test the mixed protocol using
pass-throughs. This can also be useful when the RSC server is in the
same environment as the SSR server as they don't have to go from strings
to typed arrays back to strings.
Now we can also use this in the pass-through used in renderToMarkup.
This lets us avoid the dependency on TextDecoder/TextEncoder in that
package.
Stacked on #30170.
This lets us track Server Component parent stacks in Fizz which also
lets us track the correct owner stack for lazy.
In Fiber we're careful not to make any DEV only fibers but since the
ReactFizzComponentStack data structures just exist for debug meta data
anyway we can just expand on that.
Stacked on #30132.
This way we can get parent and owner stacks from the error.
This forces us to confront multiple errors and whether or not a Flight
error that ends up being unobservable needs to really reject the render.
This implements stashing of Flight errors with a digest and only errors
if they end up erroring the Fizz render too. At this point they'll have
parent stacks so we can surface those.
We use this to encode the binary length of a large string without
escaping it. This is really kind of optional though. This lets a Server
that can't encode strings but just pass them along able to emit RSC -
albeit a less optimal format.
The only build we have that does that today is react-html but the FB
version of Flight had a similar constraint.
It's still possible to support binary data as long as
byteLengthOfBinaryChunk is implemented which doesn't require a text
encoder. Many streams (including Node streams) support binary OR string
chunks.
Even though the whole package is private right now. Once we publish it,
it'll likely be just the experimental channel first before upgrading to
stable.
This means it gets excluded from the built packages.
Stacked on top of #30121.
This is the same thing we do for `renderToReadableStream` so that you
don't have to manually inject it into the stream.
The only reason we didn't for `renderToString` / `renderToStaticMarkup`
was to preserve legacy behavior but since this is a new API we can
change that.
If you're rendering a partial it doesn't matter. This is likely what
you'd do for RSS feeds. The question is if you can reliably rely on the
doctype being used while rendering e-mails since many clients are so
quirky. However, if you're careful it also doesn't hurt so it seems best
to include it.
Follow up to #30105.
This supports `renderToMarkup` in a non-RSC environment (not the
`react-server` condition).
This is just a Fizz renderer but it errors at runtime when you use
state, effects or event handlers that would require hydration - like the
RSC version would. (Except RSC can give early errors too.)
To do this I have to move the `react-html` builds to a new `markup`
dimension out of the `dom-legacy` dimension so that we can configure
this differently from `renderToString`/`renderToStaticMarkup`.
Eventually that dimension can go away though if deprecated. That also
helps us avoid dynamic configuration and we can just compile in the
right configuration so the split helps anyway.
One consideration is that if a compiler strips out useEffects or inlines
initial state from useState, then it would not get called an the error
wouldn't happen. Therefore to preserve semantics, a compiler would need
to inject some call that can check the current renderer and whether it
should throw.
There is an argument that it could be useful to not error for these
because it's possible to write components that works with SSR but are
just optionally hydrated. However, there's also an argument that doing
that silently is too easy to lead to mistakes and it's better to error -
especially for the e-mail use case where you can't take it back but you
can replay a queue that had failures. There are other ways to
conditionally branch components intentionally. Besides if you want it to
be silent you can still use renderToString (or better yet
renderToReadableStream).
The primary mechanism is the RSC environment and the client-environment
is really the secondary one that's only there to support legacy
environments. So this also ensures parity with the primary environment.
Name of the package is tbd (straw: `react-html`). It's a new package
separate from `react-dom` though and can be used as a standalone package
- e.g. also from a React Native app.
```js
import {renderToMarkup} from '...';
const html = await renderToMarkup(<Component />);
```
The idea is that this is a helper for rendering HTML that is not
intended to be hydrated. It's primarily intended to support a subset of
HTML that can be used as embedding and not served as HTML documents from
HTTP. For example as e-mails or in RSS/Atom feeds or other
distributions. It's a successor to `renderToStaticMarkup`.
A few differences:
- This doesn't support "Client Components". It can only use the Server
Components subset. No useEffect, no useState etc. since it will never be
hydrated. Use of those are errors.
- You also can't pass Client References so you can't use components
marked with `"use client"`.
- Unlike `renderToStaticMarkup` this does support async so you can
suspend and use data from these components.
- Unlike `renderToReadableStream` this does not support streaming or
Suspense boundaries and any error rejects the promise. Since there's no
feasible way to "client render" or patch up the document.
- Form Actions are not supported since in an embedded environment
there's no place to post back to across versions. You can render plain
forms with fixed URLs though.
- You can't use any resource preloading like `preload()` from
`react-dom`.
## Implementation
This first version in this PR only supports Server Components since
that's the thing that doesn't have an existing API. Might add a Client
Components version later that errors.
We don't want to maintain a completely separate implementation for this
use case so this uses the `dom-legacy` build dimension to wire up a
build that encapsulates a Flight Server -> Flight Client -> Fizz stream
to render Server Components that then get SSR:ed.
There's no problem to use a Flight Client in a Server Component
environment since it's already supported for Server-to-Server. Both of
these use a bundler config that just errors for Client References though
since we don't need any bundling integration and this is just a
standalone package.
Running Fizz in a Server Component environment is a problem though
because it depends on "react" and it needs the client version.
Therefore, for this build we embed the client version of "react" shared
internals into the build. It doesn't need anything to be able to use
those APIs since you can't call the client APIs anyway.
One unfortunate thing though is that since Flight currently needs to go
to binary and back, we need TextEncoder/TextDecoder to be available but
this shouldn't really be necessary. Also since we use the legacy stream
config, large strings that use byteLengthOfChunk errors atm. This needs
to be fixed before shipping. I'm not sure what would be the best
layering though that isn't unnecessarily burdensome to maintain. Maybe
some kind of pass-through protocol that would also be useful in general
- e.g. when Fizz and Flight are in the same process.
