## Summary
We currently do deep diffing for object props, and also use custom
differs, if they are defined, for props with custom attribute config.
The idea is to simply do a `===` comparison instead of all that work. We
will do less computation on the JS side, but send more data to native.
The hypothesis is that this change should be neutral in terms of
performance. If that's the case, we'll be able to get rid of custom
differs, and be one step closer to deleting view configs.
This PR adds the `enableShallowPropDiffing` feature flag to support this
experiment.
## How did you test this change?
With `enableShallowPropDiffing` hardcoded to `true`:
```
yarn test packages/react-native-renderer
```
This fails on the following test cases:
- should use the diff attribute
- should do deep diffs of Objects by default
- should skip deeply-nested changed functions
Which makes sense with this change. These test cases should be deleted
if the experiment is shipped.
This information is available in the regular stack but since that's
hidden behind an expando and our appended stack to logs is not hidden,
it hides the most important frames like the name of the current
component.
This is closer to what happens to the native stack.
We only include stacks if they're within a ReactFiberCallUserSpace call
frame. This should be most that have a current fiber but this is
critical to filtering out most React frames if the regular node_modules
filter doesn't work.
Most React warnings fire during the rendering phase and not inside a
user space function but some do like hooks warnings and setState in
render. This feature is more important if we port this to React DevTools
appending stacks to all logs where it's likely to originate from inside
a component and you want the line within that component to immediately
part of the visible stack.
One thing that kind sucks is that we don't have a reliable way to
exclude React internal stack frames. We filter node_modules but it might
not match. For other cases I try hard to only track the stack frame at
the root of React (e.g. immediately inside createElement) until the
ReactFiberCallUserSpace so we don't need the filtering to work. In this
case it's hard to achieve the same thing though. This is easier in RDT
because we have the start/end line and parsing of stack traces so we can
use that to exclude internals but that's a lot of code/complexity for
shipping within the library.
For example in Safari:

Ideally warnOnUseFormStateInDev and useFormState wouldn't be included
since they're React internals. Before this change, the Counter.js line
also wasn't included though which points to exactly where the error is
within the user code.
(Note Server Components have V8 formatted lines and Client Components
have JSC formatted lines.)
`disableDOMTestUtils` and the FB build `ReactTestUtilsFB` allowed us to
finish migrating internal callsites off of ReactTestUtils. Now that
usage is cleaned up, we can remove the flag, build artifact, and test
coverage for the deprecated utility methods.
Stacked on #29206 and #29221.
This disables appending owner stacks to console when
`console.createTask` is available in the environment. Instead we rely on
native "async" stacks that end up looking like this with source maps and
ignore list enabled.
<img width="673" alt="Screenshot 2024-05-22 at 4 00 27 PM"
src="https://github.com/facebook/react/assets/63648/5313ed53-b298-4386-8f76-8eb85bdfbbc7">
Unfortunately Chrome requires a string name for each async stack and,
worse, a suffix of `(async)` is automatically added which is very
confusing since it seems like it might be an async component or
something which it is not.
In this case it's not so bad because it's nice to refer to the host
component which otherwise doesn't have a stack frame since it's
internal. However, if there were more owners here there would also be a
`<Counter> (async)` which ends up being kind of duplicative.
If the Chrome DevTools is not open from the start of the app, then
`console.createTask` is disabled and so you lose the stack for those
errors (or those parents if the devtools is opened later). Unlike our
appended ones that are always added. That's unfortunate and likely to be
a bit of a DX issue but it's also nice that it saves on perf in DEV mode
for those cases. Framework dialogs can still surface the stack since we
also track it in user space in parallel.
This currently doesn't track Server Components yet. We need a more
clever hack for that part in a follow up.
I think I probably need to also add something to React DevTools to
disable its stacks for this case too. Since it looks for stacks in the
console.error and adds a stack otherwise. Since we don't add them
anymore from the runtime, the DevTools adds them instead.
This one should be fully behind the `enableOwnerStacks` flag.
Instead of printing the parent Component stack all the way to the root,
this now prints the owner stack of every JSX callsite. It also includes
intermediate callsites between the Component and the JSX call so it has
potentially more frames. Mainly it provides the line number of the JSX
callsite. In terms of the number of components is a subset of the parent
component stack so it's less information in that regard. This is usually
better since it's more focused on components that might affect the
output but if it's contextual based on rendering it's still good to have
parent stack. Therefore, I still use the parent stack when printing DOM
nesting warnings but I plan on switching that format to a diff view
format instead (Next.js already reformats the parent stack like this).
__Follow ups__
- Server Components show up in the owner stack for client logs but logs
done by Server Components don't yet get their owner stack printed as
they're replayed. They're also not yet printed in the server logs of the
RSC server.
- Server Component stack frames are formatted as the server and added to
the end but this might be a different format than the browser. E.g. if
server is running V8 and browser is running JSC or vice versa. Ideally
we can reformat them in terms of the client formatting.
- This doesn't yet update Fizz or DevTools. Those will be follow ups.
Fizz still prints parent stacks in the server side logs. The stacks
added to user space `console.error` calls by DevTools still get the
parent stacks instead.
- It also doesn't yet expose these to user space so there's no way to
get them inside `onCaughtError` for example or inside a custom
`console.error` override.
- In another follow up I'll use `console.createTask` instead and
completely remove these stacks if it's available.
This is necessary to simplify the component stack handling to make way
for owner stacks. It also solves some hacks that we used to have but
don't quite make sense. It also solves the problem where things like key
warnings get silenced in RSC because they get deduped. It also surfaces
areas where we were missing key warnings to begin with.
Almost every type of warning is issued from the renderer. React Elements
are really not anything special themselves. They're just lazily invoked
functions and its really the renderer that determines there semantics.
We have three types of warnings that previously fired in
JSX/createElement:
- Fragment props validation.
- Type validation.
- Key warning.
It's nice to be able to do some validation in the JSX/createElement
because it has a more specific stack frame at the callsite. However,
that's the case for every type of component and validation. That's the
whole point of enableOwnerStacks. It's also not sufficient to do it in
JSX/createElement so we also have validation in the renderers too. So
this validation is really just an eager validation but also happens
again later.
The problem with these is that we don't really know what types are valid
until we get to the renderer. Additionally, by placing it in the
isomorphic code it becomes harder to do deduping of warnings in a way
that makes sense for that renderer. It also means we can't reuse logic
for managing stacks etc.
Fragment props validation really should just be part of the renderer
like any other component type. This also matters once we add Fragment
refs and other fragment features. So I moved this into Fiber. However,
since some Fragments don't have Fibers, I do the validation in
ChildFiber instead of beginWork where it would normally happen.
For `type` validation we already do validation when rendering. By
leaving it to the renderer we don't have to hard code an extra list.
This list also varies by context. E.g. class components aren't allowed
in RSC but client references are but we don't have an isomorphic way to
identify client references because they're defined by the host config so
the current logic is flawed anyway. I kept the early validation for now
without the `enableOwnerStacks` since it does provide a nicer stack
frame but with that flag on it'll be handled with nice stacks anyway. I
normalized some of the errors to ensure tests pass.
For `key` validation it's the same principle. The mechanism for the
heuristic is still the same - if it passes statically through a parent
JSX/createElement call then it's considered validated. We already did
print the error later from the renderer so this also disables the early
log in the `enableOwnerStacks` flag.
I also added logging to Fizz so that key warnings can print in SSR logs.
Flight is a bit more complex. For elements that end up on the client we
just pass the `validated` flag along to the client and let the client
renderer print the error once rendered. For server components we log the
error from Flight with the server component as the owner on the stack
which will allow us to print the right stack for context. The factoring
of this is a little tricky because we only want to warn if it's in an
array parent but we want to log the error later to get the right debug
info.
Fiber/Fizz has a similar factoring problem that causes us to create a
fake Fiber for the owner which means the logs won't be associated with
the right place in DevTools.
This lets us expose the component stack to the error reporting that
happens here as `console.error` patching. Now if you just call
`console.error` in the error handlers it'll get the component stack
added to the end by React DevTools.
However, unfortunately this happens a little too late so the Fiber will
be disconnected with its `.return` pointer set to null already. So it'll
be too late to extract a parent component stack from but you can at
least get the stack from source to error boundary. To work around this I
manually add the parent component stack in our default handlers when
owner stacks are off. We could potentially fix this but you can also
just include it yourself if you're calling `console.error` and it's not
a problem for owner stacks.
This is not a problem for owner stacks because we'll still have those
and so for those just calling `console.error` just works. However, the
main feature is that by letting React add them, we can switch to using
native error stacks when available.
Updates Suspensey instances and resources to preload even during urgent
updates and to potentially suspend.
The current implementation is unchanged for transitions but for sync
updates if there is a suspense boundary above the resource/instance it
will be rendered in fallback mode instead.
Note: This behavior is not what we want for images once we make them
suspense enabled. We will need to have forked behavior here to
distinguish between stylesheets which should never commit when not
loaded and images which should commit after a small delay

This is the first step to experimenting with a new type of stack traces
behind the `enableOwnerStacks` flag - in DEV only.
The idea is to generate stacks that are more like if the JSX was a
direct call even though it's actually a lazy call. Not only can you see
which exact JSX call line number generated the erroring component but if
that's inside an abstraction function, which function called that
function and if it's a component, which component generated that
component. For this to make sense it really need to be the "owner" stack
rather than the parent stack like we do for other component stacks. On
one hand it has more precise information but on the other hand it also
loses context. For most types of problems the owner stack is the most
useful though since it tells you which component rendered this
component.
The problem with the platform in its current state is that there's two
ways to deal with stacks:
1) `new Error().stack`
2) `console.createTask()`
The nice thing about `new Error().stack` is that we can extract the
frames and piece them together in whatever way we want. That is great
for constructing custom UIs like error dialogs. Unfortunately, we can't
take custom stacks and set them in the native UIs like Chrome DevTools.
The nice thing about `console.createTask()` is that the resulting stacks
are natively integrated into the Chrome DevTools in the console and the
breakpoint debugger. They also automatically follow source mapping and
ignoreLists. The downside is that there's no way to extract the async
stack outside the native UI itself so this information cannot be used
for custom UIs like errors dialogs. It also means we can't collect this
on the server and then pass it to the client for server components.
The solution here is that we use both techniques and collect both an
`Error` object and a `Task` object for every JSX call.
The main concern about this approach is the performance so that's the
main thing to test. It's certainly too slow for production but it might
also be too slow even for DEV.
This first PR doesn't actually use the stacks yet. It just collects them
as the first step. The next step is to start utilizing this information
in error printing etc.
For RSC we pass the stack along across over the wire. This can be
concatenated on the client following the owner path to create an owner
stack leading back into the server. We'll later use this information to
restore fake frames on the client for native integration. Since this
information quickly gets pretty heavy if we include all frames, we strip
out the top frame. We also strip out everything below the functions that
call into user space in the Flight runtime. To do this we need to figure
out the frames that represents calling out into user space. The
resulting stack is typically just the one frame inside the owner
component's JSX callsite. I also eagerly strip out things we expect to
be ignoreList:ed anyway - such as `node_modules` and Node.js internals.
## Summary
Sets up dynamic feature flags for `disableStringRefs`, `enableFastJSX`,
and `enableRefAsProp` in React Native (at Meta).
## How did you test this change?
```
$ yarn test
$ yarn flow fabric
```
Following #28768, add a path to testing Fast JSX on www.
We want to measure the impact of Fast JSX and enable a path to testing
before string refs are completely removed in www (which is a work in
progress).
Without `disableStringRefs`, we need to copy any object with a `ref` key
so we can pass it through `coerceStringRef()` and copy it into the
object. This de-opt path is what is gated behind
`enableFastJSXWithStringRefs`.
The additional checks should have no perf impact in OSS as the flags
remain true there and the build output is not changed. For www, I've
benchmarked the addition of the boolean checks with values cached at
module scope. There is no significant change observed from our
benchmarks and any latency will apply to test and control branches
evenly. This added experiment complexity is temporary. We should be able
to clean it up, along with the flag checks for `enableRefAsProp` and
`disableStringRefs` shortly.
## Summary
This PR introduces a faster version of the `addProperties` function.
This new function is basically the `diffProperties` with `prevProps` set
to `null`, propagated constants, and all the unreachable code paths
collapsed.
## How did you test this change?
I've tested this change with [the benchmark
app](https://github.com/react-native-community/RNNewArchitectureApp/tree/new-architecture-benchmarks)
and got ~4.4% improvement in the view creation time.
This removes the automatic patching of the global `fetch` function in
Server Components environments to dedupe requests using `React.cache`, a
behavior that some RSC framework maintainers have objected to.
We may revisit this decision in the future, but for now it's not worth
the controversy.
Frameworks that have already shipped this behavior, like Next.js, can
reimplement it in userspace.
I considered keeping the implementation in the codebase and disabling it
by setting `enableFetchInstrumentation` to `false` everywhere, but since
that also disables the tests, it doesn't seem worth it because without
test coverage the behavior is likely to drift regardless. We can just
revert this PR later if desired.
Stacked on #28849, #28854, #28853. Behind a flag.
If you're following along from the side-lines. This is probably not what
you think it is.
It's NOT a way to get updates to a component over time. The
AsyncIterable works like an Iterable already works in React which is how
an Array works. I.e. it's a list of children - not the value of a child
over time.
It also doesn't actually render one component at a time. The way it
works is more like awaiting the entire list to become an array and then
it shows up. Before that it suspends the parent.
To actually get these to display one at a time, you have to opt-in with
`<SuspenseList>` to describe how they should appear. That's really the
interesting part and that not implemented yet.
Additionally, since these are effectively Async Functions and uncached
promises, they're not actually fully "supported" on the client yet for
the same reason rendering plain Promises and Async Functions aren't.
They warn. It's only really useful when paired with RSC that produces
instrumented versions of these. Ideally we'd published instrumented
helpers to help with map/filter style operations that yield new
instrumented AsyncIterables.
The way the implementation works basically just relies on unwrapThenable
and otherwise works like a plain Iterator.
There is one quirk with these that are different than just promises. We
ask for a new iterator each time we rerender. This means that upon retry
we kick off another iteration which itself might kick off new requests
that block iterating further. To solve this and make it actually
efficient enough to use on the client we'd need to stash something like
a buffer of the previous iteration and maybe iterator on the iterable so
that we can continue where we left off or synchronously iterate if we've
seen it before. Similar to our `.value` convention on Promises.
In Fizz, I had to do a special case because when we render an iterator
child we don't actually rerender the parent again like we do in Fiber.
However, it's more efficient to just continue on where we left off by
reusing the entries from the thenable state from before in that case.
We have changed the shape (and the runtime) of React Elements. To help
avoid precompiled or inlined JSX having subtle breakages or deopting
hidden classes, I renamed the symbol so that we can early error if
private implementation details are used or mismatching versions are
used.
Why "transitional"? Well, because this is not the last time we'll change
the shape. This is just a stepping stone to removing the `ref` field on
the elements in the next version so we'll likely have to do it again.
Adds an experimental feature flag to the implementation of useMemoCache,
the internal cache used by the React Compiler (Forget).
When enabled, instead of treating the cache as copy-on-write, like we do
with fibers, we share the same cache instance across all render
attempts, even if the component is interrupted before it commits.
If an update is interrupted, either because it suspended or because of
another update, we can reuse the memoized computations from the previous
attempt. We can do this because the React Compiler performs atomic
writes to the memo cache, i.e. it will not record the inputs to a
memoization without also recording its output.
This gives us a form of "resuming" within components and hooks.
This only works when updating a component that already mounted. It has
no impact during initial render, because the memo cache is stored on the
fiber, and since we have not implemented resuming for fibers, it's
always a fresh memo cache, anyway.
However, this alone is pretty useful — it happens whenever you update
the UI with fresh data after a mutation/action, which is extremely
common in a Suspense-driven (e.g. RSC or Relay) app.
So the impact of this feature is faster data mutations/actions (when the
React Compiler is used).
## Summary
This PR adds early return to the `diff` function. We don't need to go
through all the entries of `nextProps`, process and deep-diff the values
if `nextProps` is the same object as `prevProps`. Roughly 6% of all
`diffProperties` calls can be skipped.
## How did you test this change?
RNTester.
In React 19 React will finally stop publishing UMD builds. This is
motivated primarily by the lack of use of UMD format and the added
complexity of maintaining build infra for these releases. Additionally
with ESM becoming more prevalent in browsers and services like esm.sh
which can host React as an ESM module there are other options for doing
script tag based react loading.
This PR removes all the UMD build configs and forks.
There are some fixtures that still have references to UMD builds however
many of them already do not work (for instance they are using legacy
features like ReactDOM.render) and rather than block the removal on
these fixtures being brought up to date we'll just move forward and fix
or removes fixtures as necessary in the future.
So that when we end up referring to it in more places, it's only one.
We don't do this same pattern for regular `Symbol.iterator` because we
also support the string `"@@iterator"` for backwards compatibility.
This adds support in Flight for serializing four kinds of streams:
- `ReadableStream` with objects as a model. This is a single shot
iterator so you can read it only once. It can contain any value
including Server Components. Chunks are encoded as is so if you send in
10 typed arrays, you get the same typed arrays out on the other side.
- Binary `ReadableStream` with `type: 'bytes'` option. This supports the
BYOB protocol. In this mode, the receiving side just gets `Uint8Array`s
and they can be split across any single byte boundary into arbitrary
chunks.
- `AsyncIterable` where the `AsyncIterator` function is different than
the `AsyncIterable` itself. In this case we assume that this might be a
multi-shot iterable and so we buffer its value and you can iterate it
multiple times on the other side. We support the `return` value as a
value in the single completion slot, but you can't pass values in
`next()`. If you want single-shot, return the AsyncIterator instead.
- `AsyncIterator`. These gets serialized as a single-shot as it's just
an iterator.
`AsyncIterable`/`AsyncIterator` yield Promises that are instrumented
with our `.status`/`.value` convention so that they can be synchronously
looped over if available. They are also lazily parsed upon read.
We can't do this with `ReadableStream` because we use the native
implementation of `ReadableStream` which owns the promises.
The format is a leading row that indicates which type of stream it is.
Then a new row with the same ID is emitted for every chunk. Followed by
either an error or close row.
`AsyncIterable`s can also be returned as children of Server Components
and then they're conceptually the same as fragment arrays/iterables.
They can't actually be used as children in Fizz/Fiber but there's a
separate plan for that. Only `AsyncIterable` not `AsyncIterator` will be
valid as children - just like sync `Iterable` is already supported but
single-shot `Iterator` is not. Notably, neither of these streams
represent updates over time to a value. They represent multiple values
in a list.
When the server stream is aborted we also close the underlying stream.
However, closing a stream on the client, doesn't close the underlying
stream.
A couple of possible follow ups I'm not planning on doing right now:
- [ ] Free memory by releasing the buffer if an Iterator has been
exhausted. Single shots could be optimized further to release individual
items as you go.
- [ ] We could clean up the underlying stream if the only pending data
that's still flowing is from streams and all the streams have cleaned
up. It's not very reliable though. It's better to do cancellation for
the whole stream - e.g. at the framework level.
- [ ] Implement smarter Binary Stream chunk handling. Currently we wait
until we've received a whole row for binary chunks and copy them into
consecutive memory. We need this to preserve semantics when passing
typed arrays. However, for binary streams we don't need that. We can
just send whatever pieces we have so far.
Per team discussion, this upgrades the `initialValue` argument for
`useDeferredValue` from experimental to canary.
- Original implementation PR:
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/27500
- API documentation PR: https://github.com/reactjs/react.dev/pull/6747
I left it disabled at Meta for now in case there's old code somewhere
that is still passing an `options` object as the second argument.
Follow up to #28783 and #28786.
Since we've changed the implementations of these we can rename them to
something a bit more descriptive while we're at it, since anyone
depending on them will need to upgrade their code anyway.
"react" with no condition:
`__CLIENT_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_WARN_USERS_THEY_CANNOT_UPGRADE`
"react" with "react-server" condition:
`__SERVER_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_WARN_USERS_THEY_CANNOT_UPGRADE`
"react-dom":
`__DOM_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_WARN_USERS_THEY_CANNOT_UPGRADE`
This is similar to #28771 but for isomorphic. We need a make over for
these dispatchers anyway so this is the first step. Also helps flush out
some internals usage that will break anyway.
It flattens the inner mutable objects onto the ReactSharedInternals.
This implements the concept of a DEV-only "owner" for Server Components.
The owner concept isn't really super useful. We barely use it anymore,
but we do have it as a concept in DevTools in a couple of cases so this
adds it for parity. However, this is mainly interesting because it could
be used to wire up future owner-based stacks.
I do this by outlining the DebugInfo for a Server Component
(ReactComponentInfo). Then I just rely on Flight deduping to refer to
that. I refer to the same thing by referential equality so that we can
associate a Server Component parent in DebugInfo with an owner.
If you suspend and replay a Server Component, we have to restore the
same owner. To do that, I did a little ugly hack and stashed it on the
thenable state object. Felt unnecessarily complicated to add a stateful
wrapper for this one dev-only case.
The owner could really be anything since it could be coming from a
different implementation. Because this is the first time we have an
owner other than Fiber, I have to fix up a bunch of places that assumes
Fiber. I mainly did the `typeof owner.tag === 'number'` to assume it's a
Fiber for now.
This also doesn't actually add it to DevTools / RN Inspector yet. I just
ignore them there for now.
Because Server Components can be async the owner isn't tracked after an
await. We need per-component AsyncLocalStorage for that. This can be
done in a follow up.
In prod, the `_owner` field is only used for string refs so if we have
string refs disabled, we don't need this field. In fact, that's one of
the big benefits of deprecating them.
This removes defaultProps support for all component types except for
classes. We've chosen to continue supporting defaultProps for classes
because lots of older code relies on it, and unlike function components,
(which can use default params), there's no straightforward alternative.
By implication, it also removes support for setting defaultProps on
`React.lazy` wrapper. So this will not work:
```js
const MyClassComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./MyClassComponent'));
// MyClassComponent is not actually a class; it's a lazy wrapper. So
// defaultProps does not work.
MyClassComponent.defaultProps = { foo: 'bar' };
```
However, if you set the default props on the class itself, then it's
fine.
For classes, this change also moves where defaultProps are resolved.
Previously, defaultProps were resolved by the JSX runtime. This change
is only observable if you introspect a JSX element, which is relatively
rare but does happen.
In other words, previously `<ClassWithDefaultProp />.props.aDefaultProp`
would resolve to the default prop value, but now it does not.
Cleanup enableUseRefAccessWarning flag
I don't think this flag has a path forward in the current
implementation. The detection by stack trace is too brittle to detect
the lazy initialization pattern reliably (see e.g. some internal tests
that expect the warning because they use lazy intialization, but a
slightly different pattern then the expected pattern.
I think a new version of this could be to fully ban ref access during
render with an alternative API for the exceptional cases that today
require ref access during render.
Only the FB entry point has legacy mode now so we can move the remaining
code in there.
Also enable disableLegacyMode in modern www builds since it doesn't
expose those entry points.
Now dependent on #28709.
