This is basically the implementation for the prerender pass.
Instead of forking basically the whole implementation for prerender, I
just add a conditional field on the request. If it's `null` it behaves
like before. If it's non-`null` then instead of triggering client
rendered boundaries it triggers those into a "postponed" state which is
basically just a variant of "pending". It's supposed to be filled in
later.
It also builds up a serializable tree of which path can be followed to
find the holes. This is basically a reverse `KeyPath` tree.
It is unfortunate that this approach adds more code to the regular Fizz
builds but in practice. It seems like this side is not going to add much
code and we might instead just want to merge the builds so that it's
smaller when you have `prerender` and `resume` in the same bundle -
which I think will be common in practice.
This just implements the prerender side, and not the resume side, which
is why the tests have a TODO. That's in a follow up PR.
`dom-legacy` does not make sense for Flight. we could still type check
the files but it adds maintenance burden in the inlinedHostConfigs
whenever things change there. Going to make these configs opaque mixed
types to quiet flow since no entrypoints use the flight code
When the `permalink` option is passed to `useFormState`, and the form is
submitted before it has hydrated, the permalink will be used as the
target of the form action, enabling MPA-style form submissions.
(Note that submitting a form without hydration is a feature of Server
Actions; it doesn't work with regular client actions.)
It does not have any effect after the form has hydrated.
This implements useFormState in Fiber. (It does not include any
progressive enhancement features; those will be added later.)
useFormState is a hook for tracking state produced by async actions. It
has a signature similar to useReducer, but instead of a reducer, it
accepts an async action function.
```js
async function action(prevState, payload) {
// ..
}
const [state, dispatch] = useFormState(action, initialState)
```
Calling dispatch runs the async action and updates the state to the
returned value.
Async actions run before React's render cycle, so unlike reducers, they
can contain arbitrary side effects.
This exposes, but does not yet implement, a new experimental API called
useFormState. It's gated behind the enableAsyncActions flag.
useFormState has a similar signature to useReducer, except instead of a
reducer it accepts an (async) action function. React will wait until the
promise resolves before updating the state:
```js
async function action(prevState, payload) {
// ..
}
const [state, dispatch] = useFormState(action, initialState)
```
When used in combination with Server Actions, it will also support
progressive enhancement — a form that is submitted before it has
hydrated will have its state transferred to the next page. However, like
the other action-related hooks, it works with fully client-driven
actions, too.
This exposes a `resume()` API to go with the `prerender()` (only in
experimental). It doesn't work yet since we don't yet emit the postponed
state so not yet tested.
The main thing this does is rename ResponseState->RenderState and
Resources->ResumableState. We separated out resources into a separate
concept preemptively since it seemed like separate enough but probably
doesn't warrant being a separate concept. The result is that we have a
per RenderState in the Config which is really just temporary state and
things that must be flushed completely in the prerender. Most things
should be ResumableState.
Most options are specified in the `prerender()` and transferred into the
`resume()` but certain options that are unique per request can't be.
Notably `nonce` is special. This means that bootstrap scripts and
external runtime can't use `nonce` in this mode. They need to have a CSP
configured to deal with external scripts, but not inline.
We need to be able to restore state of things that we've already emitted
in the prerender. We could have separate snapshot/restore methods that
does this work when it happens but that means we have to explicitly do
that work. This design is trying to keep to the principle that we just
work with resumable data structures instead so that we're designing for
it with every feature. It also makes restoring faster since it's just
straight into the data structure.
This is not yet a serializable format. That can be done in a follow up.
We also need to vet that each step makes sense. Notably stylesToHoist is
a bit unclear how it'll work.
Tracks the currently executing parent path of a task, using the name of
the component and the key or index.
This can be used to uniquely identify an instance of a component between
requests - assuming nothing in the parents has changed. Even if it has
changed, if things are properly keyed, it should still line up.
It's not used yet but we'll need this for two separate features so
should land this so we can stack on top.
Can be passed to `JSON.stringify(...)` to generate a unique key.
Search for more generic fork files if an exact match does not exist. If
`forks/MyFile.dom.js` exists but `forks/MyFile.dom-node.js` does not
then use it when trying to resolve forks for the `"dom-node"` renderer
in flow, tests, and build
consolidate certain fork files that were identical and make semantic
sense to be generalized
add `dom-browser-esm` bundle and use it for
`react-server-dom-esm/client.browser` build
This adds an experimental `unstable_postpone(reason)` API.
Currently we don't have a way to model effectively an Infinite Promise.
I.e. something that suspends but never resolves. The reason this is
useful is because you might have something else that unblocks it later.
E.g. by updating in place later, or by client rendering.
On the client this works to model as an Infinite Promise (in fact,
that's what this implementation does). However, in Fizz and Flight that
doesn't work because the stream needs to end at some point. We don't
have any way of knowing that we're suspended on infinite promises. It's
not enough to tag the promises because you could await those and thus
creating new promises. The only way we really have to signal this
through a series of indirections like async functions, is by throwing.
It's not 100% safe because these values can be caught but it's the best
we can do.
Effectively `postpone(reason)` behaves like a built-in [Catch
Boundary](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26854). It's like
`raise(Postpone, reason)` except it's built-in so it needs to be able to
be encoded and caught by Suspense boundaries.
In Flight and Fizz these behave pretty much the same as errors. Flight
just forwards it to retrigger on the client. In Fizz they just trigger
client rendering which itself might just postpone again or fill in the
value. The difference is how they get logged.
In Flight and Fizz they log to `onPostpone(reason)` instead of
`onError(error)`. This log is meant to help find deopts on the server
like finding places where you fall back to client rendering. The reason
that you pass in is for that purpose to help the reason for any deopts.
I do track the stack trace in DEV but I don't currently expose it to
`onPostpone`. This seems like a limitation. It might be better to expose
the Postpone object which is an Error object but that's more of an
implementation detail. I could also pass it as a second argument.
On the client after hydration they don't get passed to
`onRecoverableError`. There's no global `onPostpone` API to capture
postponed things on the client just like there's no `onError`. At that
point it's just assumed to be intentional. It doesn't have any `digest`
or reason passed to the client since it's not logged.
There are some hacky solutions that currently just tries to reuse as
much of the existing code as possible but should be more properly
implemented.
- Fiber is currently just converting it to a fake Promise object so that
it behaves like an infinite Promise.
- Fizz is encoding the magic digest string `"POSTPONE"` in the HTML so
we know to ignore it but it should probably just be something neater
that doesn't share namespace with digests.
Next I plan on using this in the `/static` entry points for additional
features.
Why "postpone"? It's basically a synonym to "defer" but we plan on using
"defer" for other purposes and it's overloaded anyway.
Since we no longer have externally configured "process" methods, I just
inlined all of those.
The main thing in this refactor is that I just inlined all the error
branches into just `emitErrorChunk`. I'm not sure why it was split up an
repeated before but this seems simpler. I need it since I'm going to be
doing similar copies of this.
This uses the same mechanism as [large
strings](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26932) to encode chunks
of length based binary data in the RSC payload behind a flag.
I introduce a new BinaryChunk type that's specific to each stream and
ways to convert into it. That's because we sometimes need all chunks to
be Uint8Array for the output, even if the source is another array buffer
view, and sometimes we need to clone it before transferring.
Each type of typed array is its own row tag. This lets us ensure that
the instance is directly in the right format in the cached entry instead
of creating a wrapper at each reference. Ideally this is also how
Map/Set should work but those are lazy which complicates that approach a
bit.
We assume both server and client use little-endian for now. If we want
to support other modes, we'd convert it to/from little-endian so that
the transfer protocol is always little-endian. That way the common
clients can be the fastest possible.
So far this only implements Server to Client. Still need to implement
Client to Server for parity.
NOTE: This is the first time we make RSC effectively a binary format.
This is not compatible with existing SSR techniques which serialize the
stream as unicode in the HTML. To be compatible, those implementations
would have to use base64 or something like that. Which is what we'll do
when we move this technique to be built-in to Fizz.
We already support these in the sense that they're Iterable so they just
get serialized as arrays. However, these are part of the Structured
Clone algorithm [and should be
supported](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/25687).
The encoding is simply the same form as the Iterable, which is
conveniently the same as the constructor argument. The difference is
that now there's a separate reference to it.
It's a bit awkward because for multiple reference to the same value,
it'd be a new Map/Set instance for each reference. So to encode sharing,
it needs one level of indirection with its own ID. That's not really a
big deal for other types since they're inline anyway - but since this
needs to be outlined it creates possibly two ids where there only needs
to be one or zero.
One variant would be to encode this in the row type. Another variant
would be something like what we do for React Elements where they're
arrays but tagged with a symbol. For simplicity I stick with the simple
outlining for now.

This introduces a Text row (T) which is essentially a string blob and
refactors the parsing to now happen at the binary level.
```
RowID + ":" + "T" + ByteLengthInHex + "," + Text
```
Today, we encode all row data in JSON, which conveniently never has
newline characters and so we use newline as the line terminator. We
can't do that if we pass arbitrary unicode without escaping it. Instead,
we pass the byte length (in hexadecimal) in the leading header for this
row tag followed by a comma.
We could be clever and use fixed or variable-length binary integers for
the row id and length but it's not worth the more difficult
debuggability so we keep these human readable in text.
Before this PR, we used to decode the binary stream into UTF-8 strings
before parsing them. This is inefficient because sometimes the slices
end up having to be copied so it's better to decode it directly into the
format. The follow up to this is also to add support for binary data and
then we can't assume the entire payload is UTF-8 anyway. So this
refactors the parser to parse the rows in binary and then decode the
result into UTF-8. It does add some overhead to decoding on a per row
basis though.
Since we do this, we need to encode the byte length that we want decode
- not the string length. Therefore, this requires clients to receive
binary data and why I had to delete the string option.
It also means that I had to add a way to get the byteLength from a chunk
since they're not always binary. For Web streams it's easy since they're
always typed arrays. For Node streams it's trickier so we use the
byteLength helper which may not be very efficient. Might be worth
eagerly encoding them to UTF8 - perhaps only for this case.
This isn't really meant to be actually used, there are many issues with
this approach, but it shows the capabilities as a proof-of-concept.
It's a new reference implementation package `react-server-dom-esm` as
well as a fixture in `fixtures/flight-esm` (fork of `fixtures/flight`).
This works pretty much the same as pieces we already have in the Webpack
implementation but instead of loading modules using Webpack on the
client it uses native browser ESM.
To really show it off, I don't use any JSX in the fixture and so it also
doesn't use Babel or any compilation of the files.
This works because we don't actually bundle the server in the reference
implementation in the first place. We instead use [Node.js
Loaders](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#loaders) to intercept files
that contain `"use client"` and `"use server"` and replace them. There's
a simple check for those exact bytes, and no parsing, so this is very
fast.
Since the client isn't actually bundled, there's no module map needed.
We can just send the file path to the file we want to load in the RSC
payload for client references.
Since the existing reference implementation for Node.js already used ESM
to load modules on the server, that all works the same, including Server
Actions. No bundling.
There is one case that isn't implemented here. Importing a `"use
server"` file from a Client Component. We don't have that implemented in
the Webpack reference implementation neither - only in Next.js atm. In
Webpack it would be implemented as a Webpack loader.
There are a few ways this can be implemented without a bundler:
- We can intercept the request from the browser importing this file in
the HTTP server, and do a quick scan for `"use server"` in the file and
replace it just like we do with loaders in Node.js. This is effectively
how Vite works and likely how anyone using this technique would have to
support JSX anyway.
- We can use native browser "loaders" once that's eventually available
in the same way as in Node.js.
- We can generate import maps for each file and replace it with a
pointer to a placeholder file. This requires scanning these ahead of
time which defeats the purposes.
Another case that's not implemented is the inline `"use server"` closure
in a Server Component. That would require the existing loader to be a
bit smarter but would still only "compile" files that contains those
bytes in the fast path check. This would also happen in the loader that
already exists so wouldn't do anything substantially different than what
we currently have here.
This PR adds a preload for bootstrapScripts. preloads are captured
synchronously when you create a new Request and as such the normal logic
to check if a preload already exists is skipped.
The bindings upstream in Relay has been removed so we don't need these
builds anymore. The idea is to revisit an FB integration of Flight but
it wouldn't use the Relay specific bindings. It's a bit unclear how it
would look but likely more like the OSS version so not worth keeping
these around.
The `dom-relay` name also included the FB specific Fizz implementation
of the streaming config so I renamed that to `dom-fb`. There's no Fizz
implementation for Native yet so I just removed `native-relay`.
We created a configurable fork for how to encode the output of Flight
and the Relay implementation encoded it as JSON objects instead of
strings/streams. The new implementation would likely be more stream-like
and just encode it directly as string/binary chunks. So I removed those
indirections so that this can just be declared inline in
ReactFlightServer/Client.
Just a small upgrade to keep us current and remove unused suppressions
(probably fixed by some upgrade since).
- `*` is no longer allowed and has been an alias for `any` for a while
now.
This automatically exposes `$$FORM_ACTIONS` on Server References coming
from Flight. So that when they're used in a form action, we can encode
the ID for the server reference as a hidden field or as part of the name
of a button.
If the Server Action is a bound function it can have complex data
associated with it. In this case this additional data is encoded as
additional form fields.
To process a POST on the server there's now a `decodeAction` helper that
can take one of these progressive posts from FormData and give you a
function that is prebound with the correct closure and FormData so that
you can just invoke it.
I updated the fixture which now has a "Server State" that gets
automatically refreshed. This also lets us visualize form fields.
There's no "Action State" here for showing error messages that are not
thrown, that's still up to user space.
E.g. if we suspend (throw a promise) in pushStartInstance today we might
have already pushed some chunks (or even child segments potentially). We
should revert back to where we were.
This doesn't usually happen because when we suspend in a component it
doesn't write anything itself, it'll always defer to som host instance
to do the writing.
There was a todo about this already but I'm not 100% sure it's always
safe when suspending. It should be safe when suspending just regularly
because it's just a noop. We might not even want "throwing a promise" in
this mechanism to be supported longer term but for now that's how a
suspend in internals.
This adds an experimental hook tentatively called useOptimisticState.
(The actual name needs some bikeshedding.)
The headline feature is that you can use it to implement optimistic
updates. If you set some optimistic state during a transition/action,
the state will be automatically reverted once the transition completes.
Another feature is that the optimistic updates will be continually
rebased on top of the latest state.
It's easiest to explain with examples; we'll publish documentation as
the API gets closer to stabilizing. See tests for now.
Technically the use cases for this hook are broader than just optimistic
updates; you could use it implement any sort of "pending" state, such as
the ones exposed by useTransition and useFormStatus. But we expect
people will most often reach for this hook to implement the optimistic
update pattern; simpler cases are covered by those other hooks.
This hook reads the status of its ancestor form component, if it exists.
```js
const {pending, data, action, method} = useFormStatus();
```
It can be used to implement a loading indicator, for example. You can
think of it as a shortcut for implementing a loading state with the
useTransition hook.
For now, it's only available in the experimental channel. We'll share
docs once its closer to being stable. There are additional APIs that
will ship alongside it.
Internally it's implemented using startTransition + a context object.
That's a good way to think about its behavior, but the actual
implementation details may change in the future.
Because form elements cannot be nested, the implementation in the
reconciler does not bother to keep track of multiple nested "transition
providers". So although it's implemented using generic Fiber config
methods, it does currently make some assumptions based on React DOM's
requirements.
Use the Blob constructor + append with filename instead of File
constructor. Node.js doesn't expose a global File constructor but does
support it in this form.
Queue fields until we get the 'end' event from the previous file. We
rely on previous files being available by the time a field is resolved.
However, since the 'end' event in Readable is fired after two
micro-tasks, these are not resolved in order.
I use a queue of the fields while we're still waiting on files to
finish. This still doesn't resolve files and fields in order relative to
each other but that doesn't matter for our usage.
Stacked on #26557
Supporting Float methods such as ReactDOM.preload() are challenging for
flight because it does not have an easy means to convey direct
executions in other environments. Because the flight wire format is a
JSON-like serialization that is expected to be rendered it currently
only describes renderable elements. We need a way to convey a function
invocation that gets run in the context of the client environment
whether that is Fizz or Fiber.
Fiber is somewhat straightforward because the HostDispatcher is always
active and we can just have the FlightClient dispatch the serialized
directive.
Fizz is much more challenging becaue the dispatcher is always scoped but
the specific request the dispatch belongs to is not readily available.
Environments that support AsyncLocalStorage (or in the future
AsyncContext) we will use this to be able to resolve directives in Fizz
to the appropriate Request. For other environments directives will be
elided. Right now this is pragmatic and non-breaking because all
directives are opportunistic and non-critical. If this changes in the
future we will need to reconsider how widespread support for async
context tracking is.
For Flight, if AsyncLocalStorage is available Float methods can be
called before and after await points and be expected to work. If
AsyncLocalStorage is not available float methods called in the sync
phase of a component render will be captured but anything after an await
point will be a noop. If a float call is dropped in this manner a DEV
warning should help you realize your code may need to be modified.
This PR also introduces a way for resources (Fizz) and hints (Flight) to
flush even if there is not active task being worked on. This will help
when Float methods are called in between async points within a function
execution but the task is blocked on the entire function finishing.
This PR also introduces deduping of Hints in Flight using the same
resource keys used in Fizz. This will help shrink payload sizes when the
same hint is attempted to emit over and over again
- substr is Annex B
- substring silently flips its arguments if they're in the "wrong order", which is confusing
- slice is better than sliced bread (no pun intended) and also it works the same way on Arrays so there's less to remember
---
> I'd be down to just lint and enforce a single form just for the potential compression savings by using a repeated string.

This lets you pass FormData objects through the Flight Reply
serialization. It does that by prefixing each entry with the ID of the
reference and then the decoding side creates a new FormData object
containing only those fields (without the prefix).
Ideally this should be more generic. E.g. you should be able to pass
Blobs, Streams and Typed Arrays by reference inside plain objects too.
You should also be able to send Blobs and FormData in the regular Flight
serialization too so that they can go both directions. They should be
symmetrical. We'll get around to adding more of those features in the
Flight protocol as we go.

We have moved away from HostConfig since the name does not fully
describe the configs we customize per runtime like FlightClient,
FlightServer, Fizz, and Fiber. This commit generalizes $$$hostconfig to
$$$config
Part of https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26571
Implements wiring for Flight to have it's own "HostConfig" from Fizz.
Historically the ServerFormatConfigs were supposed to be generic enough
to be used by Fizz and Flight. However with the addition of features
like Float the configs have evolved to be more specific to the renderer.
We may want to get back to a place where there is a pure FormatConfig
which can be shared but for now we are embracing the fact that these
runtimes need very different things and DCE cannot adequately remove the
unused stuff for Fizz when pulling this dep into Flight so we are going
to fork the configs and just maintain separate ones.
At first the Flight config will be almost empty but once Float support
in Flight lands it will have a more complex implementation
Additionally this commit normalizes the component files which make up
FlightServerConfig and FlightClientConfig. Now each file that
participates starts with ReactFlightServerConfig... and
ReactFlightClientConfig...
Added an explicit type to all $FlowFixMe suppressions to reduce
over-suppressions of new errors that might be caused on the same lines.
Also removes suppressions that aren't used (e.g. in a `@noflow` file as
they're purely misleading)
Test Plan:
yarn flow-ci
## Overview
This PR unfortunately removes the warning emitted when using layout
effects on the server:
> useLayoutEffect does nothing on the server, because its effect cannot
be encoded into the server renderer's output format. This will lead to a
mismatch between the initial, non-hydrated UI and the intended UI. To
avoid this, useLayoutEffect should only be used in components that
render exclusively on the client. See
https://reactjs.org/link/uselayouteffect-ssr for common fixes.
## Why this warning exists
The new docs explain this really well. Adding a screenshot because as
part of this change, we'll be removing these docs.

## Why are we changing it
In practice, users are not just ignoring this warning, but creating
hooks to bypass this warning by switching the useLayoutEffect hook on
the server instead of fixing it. This battle seems to be lost, so let's
remove the warning so at least users don't need to use the indirection
hook any more. In practice, if it's an issue, you should see the
problems like flashing the wrong content on first load in development.
I'm trying to get rid of all meta programming in the module scope so
that closure can do a better job figuring out cyclic dependencies and
ability to reorder.
This is converting a lot of the patterns that assign functions
conditionally to using function declarations instead.
```
let fn;
if (__DEV__) {
fn = function() {
...
};
}
```
->
```
function fn() {
if (__DEV__) {
...
}
}
```
## Based on #25634
Like promises, this adds support for Context as a React node.
In this initial implementation, the context dependency is added to the
parent of child node. This allows the parent to re-reconcile its
children when the context updates, so that it can delete the old node if
the identity of the child has changed (i.e. if the key or type of an
element has changed). But it also means that the parent will replay its
entire begin phase. Ideally React would delete the old node and mount
the new node without reconciling all the children. I'll leave this for a
future optimization.
Implements Promise as a valid React node types. The idea is that any
type that can be unwrapped with `use` should also be renderable.
When the reconciler encounters a Usable in a child position, it will
transparently unwrap the value before reconciling it. The value of the
inner value will determine the identity of the child during
reconciliation, not the Usable object that wraps around it.
Unlike `use`, the reconciler will recursively unwrap the value until it
reaches a non-Usable type, e.g. `Usable<Usable<Usable<T>>>` will resolve
to T.
In this initial commit, I've added support for Promises. I will do
Context in the [next
step](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/25641).
Being able to render a promise as a child has several interesting
implications. The Server Components response format can use this feature
in its implementation — instead of wrapping references to client
components in `React.lazy`, it can just use a promise.
This also fulfills one of the requirements for async components on the
client, because an async component always returns a promise for a React
node. However, we will likely warn and/or lint against this for the time
being because there are major caveats if you re-render an async
component in response to user input. (Note: async components already
work in a Server Components environment — the caveats only apply to
running them in the browser.)
To suspend, React uses the same algorithm as `use`: by throwing an
exception to unwind the stack, then replaying the begin phase once the
promise resolves. It's a little weird to suspend during reconciliation,
however, `lazy` already does this so if there were any obvious bugs
related to that we likely would have already found them.
Still, the structure is a bit unfortunate. Ideally, we shouldn't need to
replay the entire begin phase of the parent fiber in order to reconcile
the children again. This would require a somewhat significant refactor,
because reconciliation happens deep within the begin phase, and
depending on the type of work, not always at the end. We should consider
as a future improvement.
This adds `encodeReply` to the Flight Client and `decodeReply` to the
Flight Server.
Basically, it's a reverse Flight. It serializes values passed from the
client to the server. I call this a "Reply". The tradeoffs and
implementation details are a bit different so it requires its own
implementation but is basically a clone of the Flight Server/Client but
in reverse. Either through callServer or ServerContext.
The goal of this project is to provide the equivalent serialization as
passing props through RSC to client. Except React Elements and
Components and such. So that you can pass a value to the client and back
and it should have the same serialization constraints so when we add
features in one direction we should mostly add it in the other.
Browser support for streaming request bodies are currently very limited
in that only Chrome supports it. So this doesn't produce a
ReadableStream. Instead `encodeReply` produces either a JSON string or
FormData. It uses a JSON string if it's a simple enough payload. For
advanced features it uses FormData. This will also let the browser
stream things like File objects (even though they're not yet supported
since it follows the same rules as the other Flight).
On the server side, you can either consume this by blocking on
generating a FormData object or you can stream in the
`multipart/form-data`. Even if the client isn't streaming data, the
network does. On Node.js busboy seems to be the canonical library for
this, so I exposed a `decodeReplyFromBusboy` in the Node build. However,
if there's ever a web-standard way to stream form data, or if a library
wins in that space we can support it. We can also just build a multipart
parser that takes a ReadableStream built-in.
On the server, server references passed as arguments are loaded from
Node or Webpack just like the client or SSR does. This means that you
can create higher order functions on the client or server. This can be
tokenized when done from a server components but this is a security
implication as it might be tempting to think that these are not fungible
but you can swap one function for another on the client. So you have to
basically treat an incoming argument as insecure, even if it's a
function.
I'm not too happy with the naming parity:
Encode `server.renderToReadableStream` Decode: `client.createFromFetch`
Decode `client.encodeReply` Decode: `server.decodeReply`
This is mainly an implementation details of frameworks but it's annoying
nonetheless. This comes from that `renderToReadableStream` does do some
"rendering" by unwrapping server components etc. The `create` part comes
from the parity with Fizz/Fiber where you `render` on the server and
`create` a root on the client.
Open to bike-shedding this some more.

## Summary
Adds support for returning `undefined` from Server Components.
Also fixes a bug where rendering an empty fragment would throw the same
error as returning undefined.
## How did you test this change?
- [x] test failed with same error message I got when returning undefined
from Server Components in a Next.js app
- [x] test passes after adding encoding for `undefined`
This is just moving some stuff around and renaming things.
This tuple is opaque to the Flight implementation and we should probably
encode it separately as a single string instead of a model object.
The term "Metadata" isn't the same as when used for ClientReferences so
it's not really the right term anyway.
I also made it optional since a bound function with no arguments bound
is technically different than a raw instance of that function (it's a
clone).
I also renamed the type ReactModel to ReactClientValue. This is the
generic serializable type for something that can pass through the
serializable boundary from server to client. There will be another one
for client to server.
I also filled in missing classes and ensure the serializable sub-types
are explicit. E.g. Array and Thenable.
We rely heavily on being able to batch rendering after multiple fetches
etc. have completed on the server. However, we only do this in the
Node.js build. Node.js `setImmediate` has the exact semantics we need.
To be after the current cycle of I/O so that we can collect after all
those I/O events already in the queue has been processed.
This doesn't exist in standard browsers, so we ended up not using it
there. We could've used `setTimeout` but that risks being throttled
which would severely negatively affect the performance so we just did it
synchronously there. We probably could just use the `scheduler` there.
Now we have a separate build for Edge where `setTimeout(..., 0)`
actually behaves like `setImmediate` which is what we want. So we can
just use that in that build.
@Jarred-Sumner not sure what you want for Bun.
We support any super type of anything that we can serialize. Meaning
that as long as the Type that's passed through is less precise, it means
that we can encoded it as any subtype and therefore the incoming type
doesn't have to be the subtype in that case. Basically, as long as
you're only passing through an `Iterable<T>` in TypeScript, then you can
pass any `Iterable<T>` and we'll treat it as an array.
For example we support Promises *and* Thenables but both are encoded as
Promises.
We support Arrays and since Arrays are also Iterables, we can support
Iterables.
