* Hoist error codes import to module scope
When this code was written, the error codes map (`codes.json`) was
created on-the-fly, so we had to lazily require from inside the visitor.
Because `codes.json` is now checked into source, we can import it a
single time in module scope.
* Minify error constructors in production
We use a script to minify our error messages in production. Each message
is assigned an error code, defined in `scripts/error-codes/codes.json`.
Then our build script replaces the messages with a link to our
error decoder page, e.g. https://reactjs.org/docs/error-decoder.html/?invariant=92
This enables us to write helpful error messages without increasing the
bundle size.
Right now, the script only works for `invariant` calls. It does not work
if you throw an Error object. This is an old Facebookism that we don't
really need, other than the fact that our error minification script
relies on it.
So, I've updated the script to minify error constructors, too:
Input:
Error(`A ${adj} message that contains ${noun}`);
Output:
Error(formatProdErrorMessage(ERR_CODE, adj, noun));
It only works for constructors that are literally named Error, though we
could add support for other names, too.
As a next step, I will add a lint rule to enforce that errors written
this way must have a corresponding error code.
* Minify "no fallback UI specified" error in prod
This error message wasn't being minified because it doesn't use
invariant. The reason it didn't use invariant is because this particular
error is created without begin thrown — it doesn't need to be thrown
because it's located inside the error handling part of the runtime.
Now that the error minification script supports Error constructors, we
can minify it by assigning it a production error code in
`scripts/error-codes/codes.json`.
To support the use of Error constructors more generally, I will add a
lint rule that enforces each message has a corresponding error code.
* Lint rule to detect unminified errors
Adds a lint rule that detects when an Error constructor is used without
a corresponding production error code.
We already have this for `invariant`, but not for regular errors, i.e.
`throw new Error(msg)`. There's also nothing that enforces the use of
`invariant` besides convention.
There are some packages where we don't care to minify errors. These are
packages that run in environments where bundle size is not a concern,
like react-pg. I added an override in the ESLint config to ignore these.
* Temporarily add invariant codemod script
I'm adding this codemod to the repo temporarily, but I'll revert it
in the same PR. That way we don't have to check it in but it's still
accessible (via the PR) if we need it later.
* [Automated] Codemod invariant -> Error
This commit contains only automated changes:
npx jscodeshift -t scripts/codemod-invariant.js packages --ignore-pattern="node_modules/**/*"
yarn linc --fix
yarn prettier
I will do any manual touch ups in separate commits so they're easier
to review.
* Remove temporary codemod script
This reverts the codemod script and ESLint config I added temporarily
in order to perform the invariant codemod.
* Manual touch ups
A few manual changes I made after the codemod ran.
* Enable error code transform per package
Currently we're not consistent about which packages should have their
errors minified in production and which ones should.
This adds a field to the bundle configuration to control whether to
apply the transform. We should decide what the criteria is going
forward. I think it's probably a good idea to minify any package that
gets sent over the network. So yes to modules that run in the browser,
and no to modules that run on the server and during development only.
The error transform works by replacing calls to `invariant` with
an `if` statement.
Since we're replacing a call expression with a statement, Babel wraps
the new statement in an immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE).
This wrapper is unnecessary in practice because our `invariant` calls
are always part of their own expression statement.
In the production bundle, the function wrappers are removed by Closure.
But they remain in the development bundles.
This commit updates the transform to confirm that an `invariant` call
expression's parent node is an expression statement. (If not, it throws
a transform error.)
Then, it replaces the expression statement instead of the expression
itself, effectively removing the extraneous IIFE wrapper.
Upgraded from Babel 6 to Babel 7.
The only significant change seems to be the way `@babel/plugin-transform-classes` handles classes differently from `babel-plugin-transform-es2015-classes`. In regular mode, the former injects a `_createClass` function that increases the bundle size, and in the latter it removes the safeguard checks. However, this is okay because we don't all classes in new features, and we want to deprecate class usage in the future in the react repo.

The React Native build does not minify error messages in production,
but it still needs to run the error messages transform to compile
`invariant` calls to `ReactError`. To do this, I added a `noMinify`
option to the Babel plugin. I also renamed it from
`minify-error-messages` to the more generic `transform-error-messages`.
