I need to start clarifying where things are really actually Fibers and
where they're not since I'm adding Server Components as a separate type
of component instance which is not backed by a Fiber.
Nothing in the front end should really know anything about what kind of
renderer implementation we're inspecting and indeed it's already not
always a "Fiber" in the legacy renderer.
We typically refer to this as a "Component Instance" but the front end
currently refers to it as an Element as it historically grew from the
browser DevTools Elements tab.
I also moved the renderer.js implementation into the `backend/fiber`
folder. These are at the same level as `backend/legacy`. This clarifies
that anything outside of this folder ideally shouldn't refer to a
"Fiber".
console.js and profilingHooks.js unfortunately use Fibers a lot which
needs further refactoring. The profiler frontend also uses the term
alot.
Stacked on https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/28351, please review
only the last commit.
Top-level description of the approach:
1. Once user selects an element from the tree, frontend asks backend to
return the inspected element, this is where we simulate an error
happening in `render` function of the component and then we parse the
error stack. As an improvement, we should probably migrate from custom
implementation of error stack parser to `error-stack-parser` from npm.
2. When frontend receives the inspected element and this object is being
propagated, we create a Promise for symbolicated source, which is then
passed down to all components, which are using `source`.
3. These components use `use` hook for this promise and are wrapped in
Suspense.
Caching:
1. For browser extension, we cache Promises based on requested resource
+ key + column, also added use of
`chrome.devtools.inspectedWindow.getResource` API.
2. For standalone case (RN), we cache based on requested resource url,
we cache the content of it.
`_debugSource` was removed in
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/28265.
This PR migrates DevTools to define `source` for Fiber based on
component stacks. This will be done lazily for inspected elements, once
user clicks on the element in the tree.
`DevToolsComponentStackFrame.js` was just copy-pasted from the
implementation in `ReactComponentStackFrame`.
Symbolication part is done in
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/28471 and stacked on this commit.
Along with all the places using it like the `_debugSource` on Fiber.
This still lets them be passed into `createElement` (and JSX dev
runtime) since those can still be used in existing already compiled code
and we don't want that to start spreading to DOM attributes.
We used to have a DEV mode that compiles the source location of JSX into
the compiled output. This was nice because we could get the actual call
site of the JSX (instead of just somewhere in the component). It had a
bunch of issues though:
- It only works with JSX.
- The way this source location is compiled is different in all the
pipelines along the way. It relies on this transform being first and the
source location we want to extract but it doesn't get preserved along
source maps and don't have a way to be connected to the source hosted by
the source maps. Ideally it should just use the mechanism other source
maps use.
- Since it's expensive it only works in DEV so if it's used for
component stacks it would vary between dev and prod.
- It only captures the callsite of the JSX and not the stack between the
component and that callsite. In the happy case it's in the component but
not always.
Instead, we have another zero-cost trick to extract the call site of
each component lazily only if it's needed. This ensures that component
stacks are the same in DEV and PROD. At the cost of worse line number
information.
The better way to get the JSX call site would be to get it from `new
Error()` or `console.createTask()` inside the JSX runtime which can
capture the whole stack in a consistent way with other source mappings.
We might explore that in the future.
This removes source location info from React DevTools and React Native
Inspector. The "jump to source code" feature or inspection can be made
lazy instead by invoking the lazy component stack frame generation. That
way it can be made to work in prod too. The filtering based on file path
is a bit trickier.
When redesigned this UI should ideally also account for more than one
stack frame.
With this change the DEV only Babel transforms are effectively
deprecated since they're not necessary for anything.
Adds `Forget` badge to all relevant components.
Changes:
- If component is compiled with Forget and using a built-in
`useMemoCache` hook, it will have a `Forget` badge next to its display
name in:
- components tree
- inspected element view
- owners list
- Such badges are indexable, so Forget components can be searched using
search bar.
Fixes:
- Displaying the badges for owners list inside the inspected component
view
Implementation:
- React DevTools backend is responsible for identifying if component is
compiled with Forget, based on `fiber.updateQueue.memoCache`. It will
wrap component's display name with `Forget(...)` prefix before passing
operations to the frontend. On the frontend side, we will parse the
display name and strip Forget prefix, marking the corresponding element
by setting `compiledWithForget` field. Almost the same logic is
currently used for HOC display names.
There are not so many changes, most of them are changing imports,
because I've moved types for UI in a single file.
In https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/27357 I've added support for
pausing polling events: when user inspects an element, we start polling
React DevTools backend for updates in props / state. If user switches
tabs, extension's service worker can be killed by browser and this
polling will start spamming errors.
What I've missed is that we also have a separate call for this API, but
which is executed only once when user selects an element. We don't
handle promise rejection here and this can lead to some errors when user
selects an element and switches tabs right after it.
The only change here is that this API now has
`shouldListenToPauseEvents` param, which is `true` for polling, so we
will pause polling once user switches tabs. It is `false` by default, so
we won't pause initial call by accident.
af8beeebf6/packages/react-devtools-shared/src/backendAPI.js (L96)
Some context:
- When user selects an element in tree inspector, we display current
state of the component. In order to display really current state, we
start polling the backend to get available updates for the element.
Previously:
- Straight-forward sending an event to get element updates each second.
Potential race condition is not handled in any form.
- If user navigates from the page, timeout wouldn't be cleared and we
would potentially throw "Timed out ..." error.
- Bridge disconnection is not handled in any form, if it was shut down,
we could spam with "Timed out ..." errors.
With these changes:
- Requests are now chained, so there can be a single request at a time.
- Handling both navigation and shut down events.
This should reduce the number of "Timed out ..." errors that we see in
our logs for the extension. Other surfaces will also benefit from it,
but not to the full extent, as long as they utilize
"resumeElementPolling" and "pauseElementPolling" events.
Tested this on Chrome, running React DevTools on multiple tabs,
explicitly checked the case when service worker is in idle state and we
return back to the tab.

* Manual tweaks
Adds the concept of "plugins" to the inspected element payload. Also adds the first plugin, one that resolves StyleX atomic style names to their values and displays them as a unified style object (rather than a nested array of objects and booleans).
Source file names are displayed first, in dim color, followed by an ordered set of resolved style values.
For builds with the new feature flag disabled, there is no observable change.
A next step to build on top of this could be to make the style values editable, but change the logic such that editing one directly added an inline style to the item (rather than modifying the stylex class– which may be shared between multiple other components).
* Restore inspect-element bridge optimizations
When the new Suspense cache was integrated (so that startTransition could be used) I removed a couple of optimizations between the backend and frontend that reduced bridge traffic when e.g. dehydrated paths were inspected for elements that had not rendered since previously inspected. This commit re-adds those optimizations as well as an additional test with a bug fix that I noticed while reading the backend code.
There are two remaining TODO items as of this commit:
- Make inspected element edits and deletes also use transition API
- Don't over-eagerly refresh the cache in our ping-for-updates handler
I will addres both in subsequent commits.
* Poll for update only refreshes cache when there's an update
* Added inline comment
DevTools was built with a fork of an early idea for how Suspense cache might work. This idea is incompatible with newer APIs like `useTransition` which unfortunately prevented me from making certain UX improvements. This PR swaps out the primary usage of this cache (there are a few) in favor of the newer `unstable_getCacheForType` and `unstable_useCacheRefresh` APIs. We can go back and update the others in follow up PRs.
### Messaging changes
I've refactored the way the frontend loads component props/state/etc to hopefully make it better match the Suspense+cache model. Doing this gave up some of the small optimizations I'd added but hopefully the actual performance impact of that is minor and the overall ergonomic improvements of working with the cache API make this worth it.
The backend no longer remembers inspected paths. Instead, the frontend sends them every time and the backend sends a response with those paths. I've also added a new "force" parameter that the frontend can use to tell the backend to send a response even if the component hasn't rendered since the last time it asked. (This is used to get data for newly inspected paths.)
_Initial inspection..._
```
front | | back
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:[], force:true) ---------> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (full-data) -- |
```
_1 second passes with no updates..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:[], force:false) --------> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (no-change) -- |
```
_User clicks to expand a path, aka hydrate..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:['foo'], force:true) ----> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (full-data) -- |
```
_1 second passes during which there is an update..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:['foo'], force:false) ---> |
| <----------------- "inspectedElement" (full-data) -- |
```
### Clear errors/warnings transition
Previously this meant there would be a delay after clicking the "clear" button. The UX after this change is much improved.
### Hydrating paths transition
I also added a transition to hydration (expanding "dehyrated" paths).
### Better error boundaries
I also added a lower-level error boundary in case the new suspense operation ever failed. It provides a better "retry" mechanism (select a new element) so DevTools doesn't become entirely useful. Here I'm intentionally causing an error every time I select an element.
### Improved snapshot tests
I also migrated several of the existing snapshot tests to use inline snapshots and added a new serializer for dehydrated props. Inline snapshots are easier to verify and maintain and the new serializer means dehydrated props will be formatted in a way that makes sense rather than being empty (in external snapshots) or super verbose (default inline snapshot format).
