Changes our text encoding approach to properly support multibyte characters following this algorithm. Based on benchmarking, this new approach is roughly equivalent in terms of performance (sometimes slightly faster, sometimes slightly slower).
I also considered using TextEncoder/TextDecoder for this, but it was much slower (~85%).
* Revise ESLint rules for string coercion
Currently, react uses `'' + value` to coerce mixed values to strings.
This code will throw for Temporal objects or symbols.
To make string-coercion safer and to improve user-facing error messages,
This commit adds a new ESLint rule called `safe-string-coercion`.
This rule has two modes: a production mode and a non-production mode.
* If the `isProductionUserAppCode` option is true, then `'' + value`
coercions are allowed (because they're faster, although they may
throw) and `String(value)` coercions are disallowed. Exception:
when building error messages or running DEV-only code in prod
files, `String()` should be used because it won't throw.
* If the `isProductionUserAppCode` option is false, then `'' + value`
coercions are disallowed (because they may throw, and in non-prod
code it's not worth the risk) and `String(value)` are allowed.
Production mode is used for all files which will be bundled with
developers' userland apps. Non-prod mode is used for all other React
code: tests, DEV blocks, devtools extension, etc.
In production mode, in addiiton to flagging `String(value)` calls,
the rule will also flag `'' + value` or `value + ''` coercions that may
throw. The rule is smart enough to silence itself in the following
"will never throw" cases:
* When the coercion is wrapped in a `typeof` test that restricts to safe
(non-symbol, non-object) types. Example:
if (typeof value === 'string' || typeof value === 'number') {
thisWontReport('' + value);
}
* When what's being coerced is a unary function result, because unary
functions never return an object or a symbol.
* When the coerced value is a commonly-used numeric identifier:
`i`, `idx`, or `lineNumber`.
* When the statement immeidately before the coercion is a DEV-only
call to a function from shared/CheckStringCoercion.js. This call is a
no-op in production, but in DEV it will show a console error
explaining the problem, then will throw right after a long explanatory
code comment so that debugger users will have an idea what's going on.
The check function call must be in the following format:
if (__DEV__) {
checkXxxxxStringCoercion(value);
};
Manually disabling the rule is usually not necessary because almost all
prod use of the `'' + value` pattern falls into one of the categories
above. But in the rare cases where the rule isn't smart enough to detect
safe usage (e.g. when a coercion is inside a nested ternary operator),
manually disabling the rule will be needed.
The rule should also be manually disabled in prod error handling code
where `String(value)` should be used for coercions, because it'd be
bad to throw while building an error message or stack trace!
The prod and non-prod modes have differentiated error messages to
explain how to do a proper coercion in that mode.
If a production check call is needed but is missing or incorrect
(e.g. not in a DEV block or not immediately before the coercion), then
a context-sensitive error message will be reported so that developers
can figure out what's wrong and how to fix the problem.
Because string coercions are now handled by the `safe-string-coercion`
rule, the `no-primitive-constructor` rule no longer flags `String()`
usage. It still flags `new String(value)` because that usage is almost
always a bug.
* Add DEV-only string coercion check functions
This commit adds DEV-only functions to check whether coercing
values to strings using the `'' + value` pattern will throw. If it will
throw, these functions will:
1. Display a console error with a friendly error message describing
the problem and the developer can fix it.
2. Perform the coercion, which will throw. Right before the line where
the throwing happens, there's a long code comment that will help
debugger users (or others looking at the exception call stack) figure
out what happened and how to fix the problem.
One of these check functions should be called before all string coercion
of user-provided values, except when the the coercion is guaranteed not
to throw, e.g.
* if inside a typeof check like `if (typeof value === 'string')`
* if coercing the result of a unary function like `+value` or `value++`
* if coercing a variable named in a whitelist of numeric identifiers:
`i`, `idx`, or `lineNumber`.
The new `safe-string-coercion` internal ESLint rule enforces that
these check functions are called when they are required.
Only use these check functions in production code that will be bundled
with user apps. For non-prod code (and for production error-handling
code), use `String(value)` instead which may be a little slower but will
never throw.
* Add failing tests for string coercion
Added failing tests to verify:
* That input, select, and textarea elements with value and defaultValue
set to Temporal-like objects which will throw when coerced to string
using the `'' + value` pattern.
* That text elements will throw for Temporal-like objects
* That dangerouslySetInnerHTML will *not* throw for Temporal-like
objects because this value is not cast to a string before passing to
the DOM.
* That keys that are Temporal-like objects will throw
All tests above validate the friendly error messages thrown.
* Use `String(value)` for coercion in non-prod files
This commit switches non-production code from `'' + value` (which
throws for Temporal objects and symbols) to instead use `String(value)`
which won't throw for these or other future plus-phobic types.
"Non-produciton code" includes anything not bundled into user apps:
* Tests and test utilities. Note that I didn't change legacy React
test fixtures because I assumed it was good for those files to
act just like old React, including coercion behavior.
* Build scripts
* Dev tools package - In addition to switching to `String`, I also
removed special-case code for coercing symbols which is now
unnecessary.
* Add DEV-only string coercion checks to prod files
This commit adds DEV-only function calls to to check if string coercion
using `'' + value` will throw, which it will if the value is a Temporal
object or a symbol because those types can't be added with `+`.
If it will throw, then in DEV these checks will show a console error
to help the user undertsand what went wrong and how to fix the
problem. After emitting the console error, the check functions will
retry the coercion which will throw with a call stack that's easy (or
at least easier!) to troubleshoot because the exception happens right
after a long comment explaining the issue. So whether the user is in
a debugger, looking at the browser console, or viewing the in-browser
DEV call stack, it should be easy to understand and fix the problem.
In most cases, the safe-string-coercion ESLint rule is smart enough to
detect when a coercion is safe. But in rare cases (e.g. when a coercion
is inside a ternary) this rule will have to be manually disabled.
This commit also switches error-handling code to use `String(value)`
for coercion, because it's bad to crash when you're trying to build
an error message or a call stack! Because `String()` is usually
disallowed by the `safe-string-coercion` ESLint rule in production
code, the rule must be disabled when `String()` is used.
Previously, DevTools always overrode the native console to dim or supress StrictMode double logging. It also overrode console.log (in addition to console.error and console.warn). However, this changes the location shown by the browser console, which causes a bad developer experience. There is currently a TC39 proposal that would allow us to extend console without breaking developer experience, but in the meantime this PR changes the StrictMode console override behavior so that we only patch the console during the StrictMode double render so that, during the first render, the location points to developer code rather than our DevTools console code.
React currently suppress console logs in StrictMode during double rendering. However, this causes a lot of confusion. This PR moves the console suppression logic from React into React Devtools. Now by default, we no longer suppress console logs. Instead, we gray out the logs in console during double render. We also add a setting in React Devtools to allow developers to hide console logs during double render if they choose.
Refactor error/warning count tracking to avoid pre-allocating an ID for Fibers that aren't yet mounted. Instead, we store a temporary reference to the Fiber itself and later check to see if it successfully mounted before merging pending error/warning counts.
This avoids a problematic edge case where a force-remounted Fiber (from Fast Refresh) caused us to untrack a Fiber that was still mounted, resulting in a DevTools error if that Fiber was inspected in the Components tab.
DevTools now 'untrack' Fibers (cleans up the ID-to-Fiber mapping) after a slight delay in order to support a Fast Refresh edge case:
1. Component type is updated and Fast Refresh schedules an update+remount.
2. flushPendingErrorsAndWarningsAfterDelay() runs, sees the old Fiber is no longer mounted (it's been disconnected by Fast Refresh), and calls untrackFiberID() to clear it from the Map.
3. React flushes pending passive effects before it runs the next render, which logs an error or warning, which causes a new ID to be generated for this Fiber.
4. DevTools now tries to unmount the old Component with the new ID.
The underlying problem here is the premature clearing of the Fiber ID, but DevTools has no way to detect that a given Fiber has been scheduled for Fast Refresh. (The '_debugNeedsRemount' flag won't necessarily be set.)
The best we can do is to delay untracking by a small amount, and give React time to process the Fast Refresh delay.
Works around the corrupted Store state by detecting a broken Fast Refresh remount and forcefully dropping the root and re-mounting the entire tree. This prevents Fibers from getting duplicated in the Store (and in the Components tree). The benefit of this approach is that it doesn't rely on an update or change in behavior to Fast Refresh. (This workaround is pretty dirty, but since it's a DEV-only code path, it's probably okay.)
Note that this change doesn't fix all of the reported issues (see #21442 (comment)) but it does fix some of them.
This commit also slightly refactors the way DevTools assigns and manages unique IDs for Fibers in the backend by removing the indirection of a "primary Fiber" and instead mapping both the primary and alternate.
It also removes the previous cache-on-read behavior of getFiberID and splits the method into three separate functions for different use cases:
* getOrGenerateFiberID – Like the previous function, this method returns an ID or generates and caches a new one if the Fiber hasn't been seen before.
* getFiberIDUnsafe – This function returns an ID if one has already been generated or null if not. (It can be used to e.g. log a message about a Fiber without potentially causing it to leak.)
* getFiberIDThrows – This function returns an ID if one has already been generated or it throws. (It can be used to guarantee expected behavior rather than to silently cause a leak.)
Previously, DevTools recursed over both children and siblings during mount. This caused potential stack overflows when there were a lot of children (e.g. a list containing many items).
Given the following example component tree:
A
B C D
E F
G
A method that recurses for every child and sibling leads to a max depth of 6:
A
A -> B
A -> B -> E
A -> B -> C
A -> B -> C -> D
A -> B -> C -> D -> F
A -> B -> C -> D -> F -> G
The stack gets deeper as the tree gets either deeper or wider.
A method that recurses for every child and iterates over siblings leads to a max depth of 4:
A
A -> B
A -> B -> E
A -> C
A -> D
A -> D -> F
A -> D -> F -> G
The stack gets deeper as the tree gets deeper but is resilient to wide trees (e.g. lists containing many items).
Add an explicit Bridge protocol version to the frontend and backend components as well as a check during initialization to ensure that both are compatible. If not, the frontend will display either upgrade or downgrade instructions.
Note that only the `react-devtools-core` (React Native) and `react-devtools-inline` (Code Sandbox) packages implement this check. Browser extensions inject their own backend and so the check is unnecessary. (Arguably the `react-devtools-inline` check is also unlikely to be necessary _but_ has been added as an extra guard for use cases such as Replay.io.)
React has its own component stack generation code that DevTools embeds a fork of, but both of them use a shared helper for disabling console logs. This shared helper is DEV only though, because it was intended for use with React DEV-only warnings and we didn't want to unnecessarily add bytes to production builds.
But DevTools itself always ships as a production build– even when it's used to debug DEV bundles of product apps (with third party DEV-only warnings). That means this helper was always a noop.
The resolveCurrentDispatcher method was changed recently to replace the thrown error with a call to console.error. This newly logged error ended up slipping through and being user visible because of the above issue.
This PR updates DevTools to also fork the console patching logic (to remove the DEV-only guard).
Note that I didn't spot this earlier because my test harness (react-devtools-shell) always runs in DEV mode. 🤡
I recently added UI for the Profiler's commit and post-commit durations to the DevTools, but I made two pretty silly oversights:
1. I used the commit hook (called after mutation+layout effects) to read both the layout and passive effect durations. This is silly because passive effects may not have flushed yet git at this point.
2. I didn't reset the values on the HostRoot node, so they accumulated with each commit.
This commitR addresses both issues:
1. First it adds a new DevTools hook, onPostCommitRoot*, to be called after passive effects get flushed. This gives DevTools the opportunity to read passive effect durations (if the build of React being profiled supports it).
2. Second the work loop resets these durations (on the HostRoot) after calling the post-commit hook so address the accumulation problem.
I've also added a unit test to guard against this regressing in the future.
* Doing this in flushPassiveEffectsImpl seemed simplest, since there are so many places we flush passive effects. Is there any potential problem with this though?
* Remove redundant initial of isArray (#21163)
* Reapply prettier
* Type the isArray function with refinement support
This ensures that an argument gets refined just like it does if isArray is
used directly.
I'm not sure how to express with just a direct reference so I added a
function wrapper and confirmed that this does get inlined properly by
closure compiler.
* A few more
* Rename unit test to internal
This is not testing a bundle.

* Bump version number
* Remove Scheduler indirection
I originally kept the React PriorityLevel and Scheduler PriorityLevel
types separate in case there was a versioning mismatch between the two
modules. However, it looks like we're going to keep the Scheduler module
private in the short to medium term, and longer term the public
interface will match postTask. So, I've removed the extra indirection
(the switch statements that convert between the two types).
* DevTools flushes updated passive warning/error info after delay
Previously this information was not flushed until the next commit, but this provides a worse user experience if the next commit is really delayed. Instead, the backend now flushes only the warning/error counts after a delay. As a safety, if there are already any pending operations in the queue, we bail.

* 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
The memoized state of effect hooks is only invalidated when deps change. Deps are compared between the previous effect and the current effect. This can be problematic if one commit consists of an update that has changed deps followed by an update that has equal deps. That commit will lead to memoizedState containing the changed deps even though we committed with unchanged deps.
The n+1 update will therefore run an effect because we compare the updated deps with the deps with which we never actually committed.
To prevent this we now invalidate memoizedState on every updateEffectImpl call so that memoizedStat.deps always points to the latest deps.
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).
