* Move files
* Update paths
* Rename import variables
* Rename /server to /writer
This is mainly because "React Server Server" is weird so we need another
dimension.
* Use "react-server" convention to enforce that writer is only loaded in a server
* Encode Symbols as special rows that can be referenced by models
If a symbol was extracted from Symbol.for(...) then we can reliably
recreate the same symbol on the client.
S123:"react.suspense"
M456:{mySymbol: '$123'}
This doesn't suffer from the XSS problem because you have to write actual
code to create one of these symbols. That problem is only a problem because
values pass through common other usages of JSON which are not secure.
Since React encodes its built-ins as symbols, we can now use them as long
as its props are serializable. Like Suspense.
* Refactor resolution to avoid memo hack
Going through createElement isn't quite equivalent for ref and key in props.
* Reuse symbol ids that have already been written earlier in the stream
This ensures that if this server component was the child of a client
component that has an error boundary, it doesn't trigger the error until
this gets rendered so it happens as deep as possible.
This adds a new dimension similar to dom-relay. It's different from
"native" which would be Flight for RN without Relay.
This has some copy-pasta that's the same between the two Relay builds but
the key difference will be Metro and we're not quite sure what other
differences there will be yet.
* Remove Blocks
* Remove Flight Server Runtime
There's no need for this now that the JSResource is part of the bundler
protocol. Might need something for Webpack plugin specifically later.
* Devtools
These references are currently transformed into React.lazy values. We can use these in
React positions like element type or node position.
This could be expanded to a more general concept like Suspensey Promises, asset references or JSResourceReferences.
For now it's only used in React Element type position.
The purpose of these is to let you suspend deeper in the tree.
* Refactor Flight to require a module reference to be brand checked
This exposes a host environment (bundler) specific hook to check if an
object is a module reference. This will be used so that they can be passed
directly into Flight without needing additional wrapper objects.
* Emit module references as a special type of value
We already have JSON and errors as special types of "rows". This encodes
module references as a special type of row value. This was always the
intention because it allows those values to be emitted first in the stream
so that as a large models stream down, we can start preloading as early
as possible.
We preload the module when they resolve but we lazily require them as they
are referenced.
* Emit module references where ever they occur
This emits module references where ever they occur. In blocks or even
directly in elements.
* Don't special case the root row
I originally did this so that a simple stream is also just plain JSON.
However, since we might want to emit things like modules before the root
module in the stream, this gets unnecessarily complicated. We could add
this back as a special case if it's the first byte written but meh.
* Update the protocol
* Add test for using a module reference as a client component
* Relax element type check
Since Flight now accepts a module reference as returned by any bundler
system, depending on the renderer running. We need to drastically relax
the check to include all of them. We can add more as we discover them.
* Move flow annotation
Seems like our compiler is not happy with stripping this.
* Some bookkeeping bug
* Can't use the private field to check
* Improve error message by expanding the object in question
* Don't warn for key/ref getters
* Error if refs are passed in server components or to client components
* Rename Flight to Transport
Flight is still the codename for the implementation details (like Fiber).
However, now the public package is react-transport-... which is only
intended to be used directly by integrators.
* Rename names
* Lazily initialize models as they're read intead of eagerly when received
This ensures that we don't spend CPU cycles processing models that we're
not going to end up rendering.
This model will also allow us to suspend during this initialization if
data is not yet available to satisfy the model.
* Refactoring carefully to ensure bundles still compile to something optimal
* Remove generic from Response
The root model needs to be cast at one point or another same as othe
chunks. So we can parameterize the read instead of the whole Response.
* Read roots from the 0 key of the map
The special case to read the root isn't worth the field and code.
* Store response on each Chunk
Instead of storing it on the data tuple which is kind of dynamic, we store
it on each Chunk. This uses more memory. Especially compared to just making
initializeBlock a closure, but overall is simpler.
* Rename private fields to underscores
Response objects are exposed.
* Encode server components as delayed references
This allows us to stream in server components one after another over the
wire. It also allows parallelizing their fetches and resuming only the
server component instead of the whole parent block.
This doesn't yet allow us to suspend deeper while waiting on this content
because we don't have "lazy elements".
* Enable prefer-const rule
Stylistically I don't like this but Closure Compiler takes advantage of
this information.
* Auto-fix lints
* Manually fix the remaining callsites
This is equivalent to the jsx-runtime in that this is what the compiled
output on the server is supposed to target.
It's really just the same code for all the different Flights, but they
have different types in their arguments so each one gets their own entry
point. We might use this to add runtime warnings per entry point.
Unlike the client-side React.block call this doesn't provide the factory
function that curries the load function. The compiler is expected to wrap
this call in the currying factory.
* Formalize the Wakeable and Thenable types
We use two subsets of Promises throughout React APIs. This introduces
the smallest subset - Wakeable. It's the thing that you can throw to
suspend. It's something that can ping.
I also use a shared type for Thenable in the cases where we expect a value
so we can be a bit more rigid with our us of them.
* Make Chunks into Wakeables instead of using native Promises
This value is just going from here to React so we can keep it a lighter
abstraction throughout.
* Renamed thenable to wakeable in variable names
Originally the idea was to hide all suspending behind getters or proxies.
However, this has some issues with perf on hot code like React elements.
It also makes it too easy to accidentally access it the first time in an
effect or callback where things aren't allowed to suspend. Making it
an explicit method call avoids this issue.
All other suspending has moved to explicit lazy blocks (and soon elements).
The only thing remaining is the root. We could require the root to be an
element or block but that creates an unfortunate indirection unnecessarily.
Instead, I expose a readRoot method on the response. Typically we try to
avoid virtual dispatch but in this case, it's meant that you build
abstractions on top of a Flight response so passing it a round is useful.
* Resolve Server-side Blocks instead of Components
React elements should no longer be used to extract arbitrary data but only
for prerendering trees.
Blocks are used to create asynchronous behavior.
* Resolve Blocks in the Client
* Tests
* Bug fix relay JSON traversal
It's supposed to pass the original object and not the new one.
* Lint
* Move Noop Module Test Helpers to top level entry points
This module has shared state. It needs to be external from builds.
This lets us test the built versions of the Noop renderer.
Follow ups from https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/18334
I also introduced the concept of a module reference on the client too.
We don't need this for webpack so that gets compiled out but we need it
for www. Similarly I also need a difference between preload and load.
This replaces the HTML renderer with instead resolving host elements into
arrays tagged with the react.element symbol. These turn into proper
React Elements on the client.
The symbol is encoded as the magical value "$". This has security implications
so this special value needs to remain escaped for other strings.
We could just encode the element as {$$typeof: "$", key: key props: props}
but that's a lot more bytes. So instead I encode it as:
["$", key, props] and then convert it back.
It would be nicer if React's reconciler could just accept these tuples.
* Add ReactFlightServerConfig intermediate
This just forwards to the stream version of Flight which is itself forked
between Node and W3C streams.
The dom-relay goes directly to the Relay config though which allows it to
avoid the stream part of Flight.
* Separate streaming protocol into the Stream config
* Split streaming parts into the ReactFlightServerConfigStream
This decouples it so that the Relay implementation doesn't have to encode
the JSON to strings. Instead it can be fed the values as JSON objects and
do its own encoding.
* Split FlightClient into a basic part and a stream part
Same split as the server.
* Expose lower level async hooks to Relay
This requires an external helper file that we'll wire up internally.
* Rename to clarify that it's client-only
* Rename FizzStreamer to FizzServer for consistency
* Rename react-flight to react-client/flight
For consistency with react-server. Currently this just includes flight
but it could be expanded to include the whole reconciler.
* Add Relay Flight Build
* Rename ReactServerHostConfig to ReactServerStreamConfig
This will be the config specifically for streaming purposes.
There will be other configs for other purposes.
