## Overview
The error messages that say:
> ReactDOM.hydrate is no longer supported in React 18
Don't make sense in the React 19 release. Instead, they should say:
> ReactDOM.hydrate was removed in React 19.
For legacy mode, they should say:
> ReactDOM.hydrate has not been supported since React 18.
## Overview
_Depends on https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/28514_
This PR adds a new React hook called `useActionState` to replace and
improve the ReactDOM `useFormState` hook.
## Motivation
This hook intends to fix some of the confusion and limitations of the
`useFormState` hook.
The `useFormState` hook is only exported from the `ReactDOM` package and
implies that it is used only for the state of `<form>` actions, similar
to `useFormStatus` (which is only for `<form>` element status). This
leads to understandable confusion about why `useFormState` does not
provide a `pending` state value like `useFormStatus` does.
The key insight is that the `useFormState` hook does not actually return
the state of any particular form at all. Instead, it returns the state
of the _action_ passed to the hook, wrapping it and returning a
trackable action to add to a form, and returning the last returned value
of the action given. In fact, `useFormState` doesn't need to be used in
a `<form>` at all.
Thus, adding a `pending` value to `useFormState` as-is would thus be
confusing because it would only return the pending state of the _action_
given, not the `<form>` the action is passed to. Even if we wanted to
tie them together, the returned `action` can be passed to multiple
forms, creating confusing and conflicting pending states during multiple
form submissions.
Additionally, since the action is not related to any particular
`<form>`, the hook can be used in any renderer - not only `react-dom`.
For example, React Native could use the hook to wrap an action, pass it
to a component that will unwrap it, and return the form result state and
pending state. It's renderer agnostic.
To fix these issues, this PR:
- Renames `useFormState` to `useActionState`
- Adds a `pending` state to the returned tuple
- Moves the hook to the `'react'` package
## Reference
The `useFormState` hook allows you to track the pending state and return
value of a function (called an "action"). The function passed can be a
plain JavaScript client function, or a bound server action to a
reference on the server. It accepts an optional `initialState` value
used for the initial render, and an optional `permalink` argument for
renderer specific pre-hydration handling (such as a URL to support
progressive hydration in `react-dom`).
Type:
```ts
function useActionState<State>(
action: (state: Awaited<State>) => State | Promise<State>,
initialState: Awaited<State>,
permalink?: string,
): [state: Awaited<State>, dispatch: () => void, boolean];
```
The hook returns a tuple with:
- `state`: the last state the action returned
- `dispatch`: the method to call to dispatch the wrapped action
- `pending`: the pending state of the action and any state updates
contained
Notably, state updates inside of the action dispatched are wrapped in a
transition to keep the page responsive while the action is completing
and the UI is updated based on the result.
## Usage
The `useActionState` hook can be used similar to `useFormState`:
```js
import { useActionState } from "react"; // not react-dom
function Form({ formAction }) {
const [state, action, isPending] = useActionState(formAction);
return (
<form action={action}>
<input type="email" name="email" disabled={isPending} />
<button type="submit" disabled={isPending}>
Submit
</button>
{state.errorMessage && <p>{state.errorMessage}</p>}
</form>
);
}
```
But it doesn't need to be used with a `<form/>` (neither did
`useFormState`, hence the confusion):
```js
import { useActionState, useRef } from "react";
function Form({ someAction }) {
const ref = useRef(null);
const [state, action, isPending] = useActionState(someAction);
async function handleSubmit() {
// See caveats below
await action({ email: ref.current.value });
}
return (
<div>
<input ref={ref} type="email" name="email" disabled={isPending} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Submit
</button>
{state.errorMessage && <p>{state.errorMessage}</p>}
</div>
);
}
```
## Benefits
One of the benefits of using this hook is the automatic tracking of the
return value and pending states of the wrapped function. For example,
the above example could be accomplished via:
```js
import { useActionState, useRef } from "react";
function Form({ someAction }) {
const ref = useRef(null);
const [state, setState] = useState(null);
const [isPending, setIsPending] = useTransition();
function handleSubmit() {
startTransition(async () => {
const response = await someAction({ email: ref.current.value });
setState(response);
});
}
return (
<div>
<input ref={ref} type="email" name="email" disabled={isPending} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Submit
</button>
{state.errorMessage && <p>{state.errorMessage}</p>}
</div>
);
}
```
However, this hook adds more benefits when used with render specific
elements like react-dom `<form>` elements and Server Action. With
`<form>` elements, React will automatically support replay actions on
the form if it is submitted before hydration has completed, providing a
form of partial progressive enhancement: enhancement for when javascript
is enabled but not ready.
Additionally, with the `permalink` argument and Server Actions,
frameworks can provide full progressive enhancement support, submitting
the form to the URL provided along with the FormData from the form. On
submission, the Server Action will be called during the MPA navigation,
similar to any raw HTML app, server rendered, and the result returned to
the client without any JavaScript on the client.
## Caveats
There are a few Caveats to this new hook:
**Additional state update**: Since we cannot know whether you use the
pending state value returned by the hook, the hook will always set the
`isPending` state at the beginning of the first chained action,
resulting in an additional state update similar to `useTransition`. In
the future a type-aware compiler could optimize this for when the
pending state is not accessed.
**Pending state is for the action, not the handler**: The difference is
subtle but important, the pending state begins when the return action is
dispatched and will revert back after all actions and transitions have
settled. The mechanism for this under the hook is the same as
useOptimisitic.
Concretely, what this means is that the pending state of
`useActionState` will not represent any actions or sync work performed
before dispatching the action returned by `useActionState`. Hopefully
this is obvious based on the name and shape of the API, but there may be
some temporary confusion.
As an example, let's take the above example and await another action
inside of it:
```js
import { useActionState, useRef } from "react";
function Form({ someAction, someOtherAction }) {
const ref = useRef(null);
const [state, action, isPending] = useActionState(someAction);
async function handleSubmit() {
await someOtherAction();
// The pending state does not start until this call.
await action({ email: ref.current.value });
}
return (
<div>
<input ref={ref} type="email" name="email" disabled={isPending} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Submit
</button>
{state.errorMessage && <p>{state.errorMessage}</p>}
</div>
);
}
```
Since the pending state is related to the action, and not the handler or
form it's attached to, the pending state only changes when the action is
dispatched. To solve, there are two options.
First (recommended): place the other function call inside of the action
passed to `useActionState`:
```js
import { useActionState, useRef } from "react";
function Form({ someAction, someOtherAction }) {
const ref = useRef(null);
const [state, action, isPending] = useActionState(async (data) => {
// Pending state is true already.
await someOtherAction();
return someAction(data);
});
async function handleSubmit() {
// The pending state starts at this call.
await action({ email: ref.current.value });
}
return (
<div>
<input ref={ref} type="email" name="email" disabled={isPending} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Submit
</button>
{state.errorMessage && <p>{state.errorMessage}</p>}
</div>
);
}
```
For greater control, you can also wrap both in a transition and use the
`isPending` state of the transition:
```js
import { useActionState, useTransition, useRef } from "react";
function Form({ someAction, someOtherAction }) {
const ref = useRef(null);
// isPending is used from the transition wrapping both action calls.
const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();
// isPending not used from the individual action.
const [state, action] = useActionState(someAction);
async function handleSubmit() {
startTransition(async () => {
// The transition pending state has begun.
await someOtherAction();
await action({ email: ref.current.value });
});
}
return (
<div>
<input ref={ref} type="email" name="email" disabled={isPending} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Submit
</button>
{state.errorMessage && <p>{state.errorMessage}</p>}
</div>
);
}
```
A similar technique using `useOptimistic` is preferred over using
`useTransition` directly, and is left as an exercise to the reader.
## Thanks
Thanks to @ryanflorence @mjackson @wesbos
(https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/27980#issuecomment-1960685940)
and [Allan
Lasser](https://allanlasser.com/posts/2024-01-26-avoid-using-reacts-useformstatus)
for their feedback and suggestions on `useFormStatus` hook.
As mentioned in #28609 there's a potential security risk if you allow a
passed value to the server to spoof Elements because it allows a hacker
to POST cross origin. This is only an issue if your framework allows
this which it shouldn't but it seems like we should provide an extra
layer of security here.
```js
function action(errors, payload) {
try {
...
} catch (x) {
return [newError].concat(errors);
}
}
```
```js
const [errors, formAction] = useActionState(action);
return <div>{errors}</div>;
```
This would allow you to construct a payload where the previous "errors"
set includes something like `<script src="danger.js" />`.
We could block only elements from being received but it could
potentially be a risk with creating other React types like Context too.
We use symbols as a way to securely brand these.
Most JS don't use this kind of branding with symbols like we do. They're
generally properties which we don't support anyway. However in theory
someone else could be using them like we do. So in an abundance of
carefulness I just ban all symbols from being passed (except by
temporary reference) - not just ours.
This means that the format isn't fully symmetric even beyond just React
Nodes.
#28611 allows code that includes symbols/elements to continue working
but may have to bail out to replaying instead of no JS sometimes.
However, you still can't access the symbols inside the server - they're
by reference only.
Currently you can accidentally pass React Element to a Server Action. It
warns but in prod it actually works because we can encode the symbol and
otherwise it's mostly a plain object. It only works if you only pass
host components and no function props etc. which makes it potentially
error later. The first thing this does it just early hard error for
elements.
I made Lazy work by unwrapping though since that will be replaced by
Promises later which works.
Our protocol is not fully symmetric in that elements flow from Server ->
Client. Only the Server can resolve Components and only the client
should really be able to receive host components. It's not intended that
a Server can actually do something with them other than passing them to
the client.
In the case of a Reply, we expect the client to be stateful. It's
waiting for a response. So anything we can't serialize we can still pass
by reference to an in memory object. So I introduce the concept of a
TemporaryReferenceSet which is an opaque object that you create before
encoding the reply. This then stashes any unserializable values in this
set and encode the slot by id. When a new response from the Action then
returns we pass the same temporary set into the parser which can then
restore the objects. This lets you pass a value by reference to the
server and back into another slot.
For example it can be used to render children inside a parent tree from
a server action:
```
export async function Component({ children }) {
"use server";
return <div>{children}</div>;
}
```
(You wouldn't normally do this due to the waterfalls but for advanced
cases.)
A common scenario where this comes up accidentally today is in
`useActionState`.
```
export function action(state, formData) {
"use server";
if (errored) {
return <div>This action <strong>errored</strong></div>;
}
return null;
}
```
```
const [errors, formAction] = useActionState(action);
return <div>{errors}<div>;
```
It feels like I'm just passing the JSX from server to client. However,
because `useActionState` also sends the previous state *back* to the
server this should not actually be valid. Before this PR this actually
worked accidentally. You get a DEV warning but it used to work in prod.
Once you do something like pass a client reference it won't work tho. We
could perhaps make client references work by stashing where we got them
from but it wouldn't work with all possible JSX.
By adding temporary references to the action implementation this will
work again - on the client. It'll also be more efficient since we don't
send back the JSX content that you shouldn't introspect on the server
anyway.
However, a flaw here is that the progressive enhancement of this case
won't work because we can't use temporary references for progressive
enhancement since there's no in memory stash. What is worse is that it
won't error if you hydrate. ~It also will error late in the example
above because the first state is "undefined" so invoking the form once
works - it errors on the second attempt when it tries to send the error
state back again.~ It actually errors on the first invocation because we
need to eagerly serialize "previous state" into the form. So at least
that's better.
I think maybe the solution to this particular pattern would be to allow
JSX to serialize if you have no temporary reference set, and remember
client references so that client references can be returned back to the
server as client references. That way anything you could send from the
server could also be returned to the server. But it would only deopt to
serializing it for progressive enhancement. The consequence of that
would be that there's a lot of JSX that might accidentally seem like it
should work but it's only if you've gotten it from the server before
that it works. This would have to have pair them somehow though since
you can't take a client reference from one implementation of Flight and
use it with another.
A while back we implemented a heuristic that if a chunk was large it was
assumed to be produced by the render and thus was safe to stream which
results in transferring the underlying object memory. Later we ran into
an issue where a precomputed chunk grew large enough to trigger this
hueristic and it started causing renders to fail because once a second
render had occurred the precomputed chunk would not have an underlying
buffer of bytes to send and these bytes would be omitted from the
stream. We implemented a technique to detect large precomputed chunks
and we enforced that these always be cloned before writing.
Unfortunately our test coverage was not perfect and there has been for a
very long time now a usage pattern where if you complete a boundary in
one flush and then complete a boundary that has stylehsheet dependencies
in another flush you can get a large precomputed chunk that was not
being cloned to be sent twice causing streaming errors.
I've thought about why we even went with this solution in the first
place and I think it was a mistake. It relies on a dev only check to
catch paired with potentially version specific order of operations on
the streaming side. This is too unreliable. Additionally the low limit
of view size for Edge is not used in Node.js but there is not real
justification for this.
In this change I updated the view size for edge streaming to match Node
at 2048 bytes which is still relatively small and we have no data one
way or another to preference 512 over this. Then I updated the assertion
logic to error anytime a precomputed chunk exceeds the size. This
eliminates the need to clone these chunks by just making sure our view
size is always larger than the largest precomputed chunk we can possibly
write. I'm generally in favor of this for a few reasons.
First, we'll always know during testing whether we've violated the limit
as long as we exercise each stream config because the precomputed chunks
are created in module scope. Second, we can always split up large chunks
so making sure the precomptued chunk is smaller than whatever view size
we actually desire is relatively trivial.
## Overview
Adds a `pending` state to useFormState, which will be replaced by
`useActionState` in the next diff. We will keep `useFormState` around
for backwards compatibility, but functionally it will work the same as
`useActionState`, which has an `isPending` state returned.
The idea here is that host dispatchers are not bound to renders so we
need to be able to dispatch to them at any time. This updates the
implementation to chain these dispatchers so that each renderer can
respond to the dispatch. Semantically we don't always want every
renderer to do this for instance if Fizz handles a float method we don't
want Fiber to as well so each dispatcher implementation can decide if it
makes sense to forward the call or not. For float methods server
disaptchers will handle the call if they can resolve a Request otherwise
they will forward. For client dispatchers they will handle the call and
always forward. The choice needs to be made for each dispatcher method
and may have implications on correct renderer import order. For now we
just live with the restriction that if you want to use server and client
together (such as renderToString in the browser) you need to import the
server renderer after the client renderer.
This pattern is a petpeeve of mine. I don't consider this best practice
and so most don't have these prefixes. Very inconsistent.
At best this is useless and noisey that you have to parse because the
information is also in the stack trace.
At worse these are misleading because they're highlighting something
internal (like validateDOMNesting) which even suggests an internal bug.
Even the ones public to React aren't necessarily what you called because
you might be calling a wrapper around it.
That would be properly reflected in a stack trace - which can also
properly ignore list so that the first stack you see is your callsite,
Which might be like `render()` in react-testing-library rather than
`createRoot()` for example.
Builds on top of #28384.
This prefixes each log with a badge similar to how we badge built-ins
like "ForwardRef" and "Memo" in the React DevTools. The idea is that we
can add such badges in DevTools for Server Components too to carry on
the consistency.
This puts the "environment" name in the badge which defaults to
"Server". So you know which source it is coming from.
We try to use the same styling as the React DevTools. We use light-dark
mode where available to support the two different color styles, but if
it's not available I use a fixed background so that it's always readable
even in dark mode.
In Terminals, instead of hard coding colors that might not look good
with some themes, I use the ANSI color code to flip
background/foreground colors in that case.
In earlier commits I had it on the end of the line similar to the
DevTools badges but for multiline I found it better to prefix it. We
could try various options tough.
In most cases we can use both ANSI and the `%c` CSS color specifier,
because node will only use ANSI and hide the other. Chrome supports both
but the color overrides ANSI if it comes later (and Chrome doesn't
support color inverting anyway). Safari/Firefox prints the ANSI, so it
can only use CSS colors.
Therefore in browser builds I exclude ANSI.
On the server I support both so if you use Chrome inspector on the
server, you get nice colors on both terminal and in the inspector.
Since Bun uses WebKit inspector and it prints the ANSI we can't safely
emit both there. However, we also can't emit just the color specifier
because then it prints in the terminal.
https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/9021 So we just use a plain string
prefix for now with a bracket until that's fixed.

When developing in an RSC environment, you should be able to work in a
single environment as if it was a unified environment. With thrown
errors we already serialize them and then rethrow them on the client.
Since by default we log them via onError both in Flight and Fizz, you
can get the same log in the RSC runtime, the SSR runtime and on the
client.
With console logs made in SSR renders, you typically replay the same
code during hydration on the client. So for example warnings already
show up both in the SSR logs and on the client (although not guaranteed
to be the same). You could just spend your time in the client and you'd
be fine.
Previously, RSC logs would not be replayed because they don't hydrate.
So it's easy to miss warnings for example.
With this approach, we replay RSC logs both during SSR so they end up in
the SSR logs and on the client. That way you can just stay in the
browser window during normal development cycles. You shouldn't have to
care if your component is a server or client component when working on
logical things or iterating on a product.
With this change, you probably should mostly ignore the Flight log
stream and just look at the client or maybe the SSR one. Unless you're
digging into something specific. In particular if you just naively run
both Flight and Fizz in the same terminal you get duplicates. I like to
run out fixtures `yarn dev:region` and `yarn dev:global` in two separate
terminals.
Console logs may contain complex objects which can be inspected. Ideally
a DevTools inspector could reach into the RSC server and remotely
inspect objects using the remote inspection protocol. That way complex
objects can be loaded on demand as you expand into them. However, that
is a complex environment to set up and the server might not even be
alive anymore by the time you inspect the objects. Therefore, I do a
best effort to serialize the objects using the RSC protocol but limit
the depth that can be rendered.
This feature is only own in dev mode since it can be expensive.
In a follow up, I'll give the logs a special styling treatment to
clearly differentiate them from logs coming from the client. As well as
deal with stacks.

- #28320
---
Changes the behavior of the JSX runtime to pass through `ref` as a
normal prop, rather than plucking it from the props object and storing
on the element.
This is a breaking change since it changes the type of the receiving
component. However, most code is unaffected since it's unlikely that a
component would have attempted to access a `ref` prop, since it was not
possible to get a reference to one.
`forwardRef` _will_ still pluck `ref` from the props object, though,
since it's extremely common for users to spread the props object onto
the inner component and pass `ref` as a differently named prop. This is
for maximum compatibility with existing code — the real impact of this
change is that `forwardRef` is no longer required.
Currently, refs are resolved during child reconciliation and stored on
the fiber. As a result of this change, we can move ref resolution to
happen only much later, and only for components that actually use them.
Then we can remove the `ref` field from the Fiber type. I have not yet
done that in this step, though.
Also warn for symbols.
It's weird because for objects we throw a hard error but functions we do
a dev only check. Mainly because we have an object branch anyway.
In the object branch we have some built-ins that have bad errors like
forwardRef and memo but since they're going to become functions later, I
didn't bother updating those. Once they're functions those names will be
part of this.
Removes all `propTypes` validation called from outside the JSX
factories. Haven't touched JSX.
Tests that verify related behavior are stripped down to the
non-`propTypes` logic.
Same as #28327 but for Fizz.
One thing that's weird about this recoverable error is that we don't
send the regular stack for it, just the component stack it seems. This
is missing some potential information and if we move toward integrated
since stacks it would be one thing.
Also deals with symbols. Alternative to #28312.
We currently always normalize rejections or thrown values into `Error`
objects. Partly because in prod it'll be an error object and you
shouldn't fork behavior on knowing the value outside a digest. We might
want to even make the message always opaque to avoid being tempted and
then discover in prod that it doesn't work.
However, we do include the message in DEV.
If this is a non-Error object we don't know what the properties mean.
Ofc, we don't want to include too much information in the rendered
string, so we use the general `describeObjectForErrorMessage` helper.
Unfortunately it's pretty conservative about emitting values so it's
likely to exclude any embedded string atm. Could potentially expand it a
bit.
We could in theory try to serialize as much as possible and re-throw the
actual object to allow for inspection to be expanded inside devtools
which is what I plan on for consoles, but since we're normalizing to an
Error this is in conflict with that approach.
Previously, `<Context>` was equivalent to `<Context.Consumer>`. However,
since the introduction of Hooks, the `<Context.Consumer>` API is rarely
used. The goal here is to make the common case cleaner:
```js
const ThemeContext = createContext('light')
function App() {
return (
<ThemeContext value="dark">
...
</ThemeContext>
)
}
function Button() {
const theme = use(ThemeContext)
// ...
}
```
This is technically a breaking change, but we've been warning about
rendering `<Context>` directly for several years by now, so it's
unlikely much code in the wild depends on the old behavior. [Proof that
it warns today (check
console).](https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/peaceful-nobel-pdxtfl)

**The relevant commit is 5696782b428a5ace96e66c1857e13249b6c07958.** It
switches `createContext` implementation so that `Context.Provider ===
Context`.
The main assumption that changed is that a Provider's fiber type is now
the context itself (rather than an intermediate object). Whereas a
Consumer's fiber type is now always an intermediate object (rather than
it being sometimes the context itself and sometimes an intermediate
object).
My methodology was to start with the relevant symbols, work tags, and
types, and work my way backwards to all usages.
This might break tooling that depends on inspecting React's internal
fields. I've added DevTools support in the second commit. This didn't
need explicit versioning—the structure tells us enough.
That way we can use it for debug information like component stacks and
DevTools. I used an extra stack argument in Child Fiber to track this as
it's flowing down since it's not just elements where we have this info
readily available but parent arrays and lazy can merge this into the
Fiber too. It's not great that this is a dev-only argument and I could
track it globally but seems more likely to make mistakes.
It is possible for the same debug info to appear for multiple child
fibers like when it's attached to a fragment or a lazy that resolves to
a fragment at the root. The object identity could be used in these
scenarios to infer if that's really one server component that's a parent
of all children or if each child has a server component with the same
name.
This is effectively a public API because you can use it to stash
information on Promises from a third-party service - not just Server
Components. I started outline the types for this for some things I was
planning to add but it's not final.
I was also planning on storing it from `use(thenable)` for when you
suspend on a Promise. However, I realized that there's no Hook instance
for those to stash it on. So it might need a separate data structure to
stash the previous pass over of `use()` that resets each render.
No tests yet since I didn't want to test internals but it'll be covered
once we have debugging features like component stacks.
A Flight Server can be a consumer of a stream from another Server. In
this case the meta data is attached to debugInfo properties on lazy,
Promises, Arrays or Elements that might in turn get forwarded to the
next stream. In this case we want to forward this debug information to
the client in the stream.
I also added a DEV only `environmentName` option to the Flight Server.
This lets you name the server that is producing the debug info so that
you can trace the origin of where that component is executing. This
defaults to `"server"`. DevTools could use this for badges or different
colors.
In #28123 I switched these to be lazy references. However that creates a
lazy wrapper even if they're synchronously available. We try to as much
as possible preserve the original data structure in these cases.
E.g. here in the dev outlining I only use a lazy wrapper if it didn't
complete synchronously:
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/28272/files#diff-d4c9c509922b3671d3ecce4e051df66dd5c3d38ff913c7a7fe94abc3ba2ed72eR638
Unfortunately we don't have a data structure that tracks the status of
each emitted row. We could store the task in the map but then they
couldn't be GC:ed as they complete. We could maybe store the status of
each element but seems so heavy.
For now I just went back to direct reference which might be an issue
since it can suspend something higher up when deduped.
This adds a new DEV-only row type `D` for DebugInfo. If we see this in
prod, that's an error. It can contain extra debug information about the
Server Components (or Promises) that were compiled away during the
server render. It's DEV-only since this can contain sensitive
information (similar to errors) and since it'll be a lot of data, but
it's worth using the same stream for simplicity rather than a
side-channel.
In this first pass it's just the Server Component's name but I'll keep
adding more debug info to the stream, and it won't always just be a
Server Component's stack frame.
Each row can get more debug rows data streaming in as it resolves and
renders multiple server components in a row.
The data structure is just a side-channel and it would be perfectly fine
to ignore the D rows and it would behave the same as prod. With this
data structure though the data is associated with the row ID / chunk, so
you can't have inline meta data. This means that an inline Server
Component that doesn't get an ID otherwise will need to be outlined. The
way I outline Server Components is using a direct reference where it's
synchronous though so on the client side it behaves the same (i.e.
there's no lazy wrapper in this case).
In most cases the `_debugInfo` is on the Promises that we yield and we
also expose this on the `React.Lazy` wrappers. In the case where it's a
synchronous render it might attach this data to Elements or Arrays
(fragments) too.
In a future PR I'll wire this information up with Fiber to stash it in
the Fiber data structures so that DevTools can pick it up. This property
and the information in it is not limited to Server Components. The name
of the property that we look for probably shouldn't be `_debugInfo`
since it's semi-public. Should consider the name we use for that.
If it's a synchronous render that returns a string or number (text node)
then we don't have anywhere to attach them to. We could add a
`React.Lazy` wrapper for those but I chose to prioritize keeping the
data structure untouched. Can be useful if you use Server Components to
render data instead of React Nodes.
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.
This used to be trivial but it's no longer trivial.
In Fizz and Fiber this is split into renderWithHooks and
finishFunctionComponent since they also support indeterminate
components.
Interestingly thanks to this unification we always call functions with
an arity of 2 which is a bit weird - with the second argument being
undefined in everything except forwardRef and legacy context consumers.
This makes Flight makes the same thing but we could also call it with an
arity of 1.
Since Flight errors early if you try to pass it a ref, and there's no
legacy context, the second arg is always undefined.
The practical change in this PR is that returning a Promise from a
forwardRef now turns it into a lazy. We previously didn't support async
forwardRef since it wasn't supported on the client. However, since
eventually this will be supported by child-as-a-promise it seems fine to
support it.
Every time we create a task we need to wait for it so we increase a ref
count. We can do this in `createTask`. This is in line with what Fizz
does too.
They differ in that Flight counts when they're actually flushed where as
Fizz decrements them when they complete.
Flight should probably count them when they complete so it's possible to
wait for the end before flushing for buffering purposes.
Server Context was never documented, and has been deprecated in
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/27424.
This PR removes it completely, including the implementation code.
Notably, `useContext` is removed from the shared subset, so importing it
from a React Server environment would now should be a build error in
environments that are able to enforce that.
Conceptually a Server Component in the tree is the same as a Client
Component.
When we render a Server Component with a key, that key should be used as
part of the reconciliation process to ensure the children's state are
preserved when they move in a set. The key of a child should also be
used to clear the state of the children when that key changes.
Conversely, if a Server Component doesn't have a key it should get an
implicit key based on the slot number. It should not inherit the key of
its children since the children don't know if that would collide with
other keys in the set the Server Component is rendered in.
A Client Component also has an identity based on the function's
implementation type. That mainly has to do with the state (or future
state after a refactor) that Component might contain. To transfer state
between two implementations it needs to be of the same state type. This
is not a concern for a Server Components since they never have state so
identity doesn't matter.
A Component returns a set of children. If it returns a single child,
that's the same as returning a fragment of one child. So if you
conditionally return a single child or a fragment, they should
technically reconcile against each other.
The simple way to do this is to simply emit a Fragment for every Server
Component. That would be correct in all cases. Unfortunately that is
also unfortunate since it bloats the payload in the common cases. It
also means that Fiber creates an extra indirection in the runtime.
Ideally we want to fold Server Component aways into zero cost on the
client. At least where possible. The common cases are that you don't
specify a key on a single return child, and that you do specify a key on
a Server Component in a dynamic set.
The approach in this PR treats a Server Component that returns other
Server Components or Lazy Nodes as a sequence that can be folded away.
I.e. the parts that don't generate any output in the RSC payload.
Instead, it keeps track of their keys on an internal "context". Which
gets reset after each new reified JSON node gets rendered.
Then we transfer the accumulated keys from any parent Server Components
onto the child element. In the simple case, the child just inherits the
key of the parent.
If the Server Component itself is keyless but a child isn't, we have to
add a wrapper fragment to ensure that this fragment gets the implicit
key but we can still use the key to reset state. This is unusual though
because typically if you keyed something it's because it was already in
a fragment.
In the case a Server Component is keyed but forks its children using a
fragment, we need to key that fragment so that the whole set can move
around as one. In theory this could be flattened into a parent array but
that gets tricky if something suspends, because then we can't send the
siblings early.
The main downside of this approach is that switching between single
child and fragment in a Server Component isn't always going to reconcile
against each other. That's because if we saw a single child first, we'd
have to add the fragment preemptively in case it forks later. This
semantic of React isn't very well known anyway and it might be ok to
break it here for pragmatic reasons. The tests document this
discrepancy.
Another compromise of this approach is that when combining keys we don't
escape them fully. We instead just use a simple `,` separated concat.
This is probably good enough in practice. Additionally, since we don't
encode the implicit 0 index slot key, you can move things around between
parents which shouldn't really reconcile but does. This keeps the keys
shorter and more human readable.
Semantically if you make your reason for aborting a Postpone instance
the render should not hit the error pathways but should instead follow
the postpone pathways. It's awkward today to actually get your hands on
a Postpone instance because you have to catch the throw from postpone
and then pass that into `abort()` or `AbortController.abort()`
(depending on the renderer API you are using)
This change makes it so that in most circumstances if you abort with a
postpone the `onPostpone` handler will be called and the Suspense
boundaries still pending will be put into client render mode with the
appropriate postpone digest to avoid trigger recoverable error pathways
on the client.
Similar to postponing in the shell during a resume or render however if
you abort before the shell is complete in a resume or render we will
fatally error. The fatal error is contextualized by React to avoid
passing the postpone object itself to the `onError` and related options.
Updates Fizz to handle Hoistables (Resources and Elements) in a way that
better aligns with Suspense fallbacks
1. Hoistable Elements inside a fallback (regardless of how deep and how
many additional boundaries are intermediate) will be ignored. The
reasoning is fallbacks are transient and since there is not good way to
clean up hoistables because they escape their Suspense container its
better to not emit them in the first place. SSR fallbacks are already
not full fidelity because they never hydrate so this aligns with that
somewhat.
2. Hoistable stylesheets in fallbacks will only block the reveal of a
parent suspense boundary if the fallback is going to flush with that
completed parent suspense boundary. Previously if you rendered a
stylesheet Resource inside a fallback any parent suspense boundaries
that completed after the shell flushed would include that resource in
the set required to resolve before the boundary reveal happens on the
client. This is not a semantic change, just a performance optimization
3. preconnect and preload hoistable queues are gone, if you want to
optimize resource loading you shoudl use `ReactDOM.preconnect` and
`ReactDOM.preload`. `viewport` meta tags get their own queue because
they need to go before any preloads since they affect the media state.
In addition to those functional changes this PR also refactors the
boundary resource tracking by moving it to the task rather than using
function calls at the start of each render and flush. Tasks also now
track whether they are a fallback task
supercedes prior work here: https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/27534
Before, we used to reset the thenable state and extract the previous
state very early so that it's only the retried task that can possibly
consume it. This is nice because we can't accidentally consume that
state for any other node.
However, it does add a lot of branches of code that has to pass this
around. It also adds extra bytes on the stack per node. Even though it's
mostly just null.
This changes it so that where ever we can create a thenable state (e.g.
entering a component with hooks) we first extract this from the task.
The principle is that whatever could've created the thenable state in
the first place, must always be rerendered so it'll take the same code
paths to get there and so we'll always consume it.
This refactors the Flight render loop to behave more like Fizz with
similar naming conventions. So it's easier to apply similar techniques
across both. This is not necessarily better/faster - at least not yet.
This doesn't yet implement serialization by writing segments to chunks
but we probably should do that since the built-in parts that
`JSON.stringify` gets us isn't really much anymore (except serializing
strings). When we switch to that it probably makes sense for the whole
thing to be recursive.
Right now it's not technically fully recursive because each recursive
render returns the next JSON value to encode. So it's kind of like a
trampoline. This means we can't have many contextual things on the
stack. It needs to use the Server Context `__POP` trick. However, it
does work for things that are contextual only for one sequence of server
component abstractions in a row. Since those are now recursive.
An interesting observation here is that `renderModel` means that
anything can suspend while still serializing the outer siblings.
Typically only Lazy or Components would suspend but in principle a Proxy
can suspend/postpone too and now that is left serialized by reference to
a future value. It's only if the thing that we rendered was something
that can reduce to Lazy e.g. an Element that we can serialize it as a
lazy.
Similarly to how Suspense boundaries in Fizz can catch errors, anything
that can be reduced to Lazy can also catch an error rather than bubbling
it. It only errors when the Lazy resolves. Unlike Suspense boundaries
though, those things don't render anything so they're otherwise going to
use the destructive form. To ensure that throwing in an Element can
reuse the current task, this must be handled by `renderModel`, not for
example `renderElement`.
If we end up client rendering a boundary due to an error after we have
already injected a postponed hole in that boundary we'll end up trying
to target a missing segment. Since we never insert segments for an
already errored boundary into the HTML. Normally an errored prerender
wouldn't be used but if it is, such as if it was an intentional client
error it triggers this case. Those should really be replaced with
postpones though.
This is a bit annoying since we eagerly build up the postponed path. I
took the easy route here and just cleared out the suspense boundary
itself from having any postponed slots. However, this still creates an
unnecessary replay path along the way to the boundary. We could probably
walk the path and remove any empty parent nodes.
What is worse is that if this is the only thing that postponed, we'd
still generate a postponed state even though there's actually nothing to
resume. Since this is a bit of an edge case already maybe it's fine.
In my test I added a check for the `error` event on `window` since this
error only surfaces by throwing an ignored error. We should really do
that globally for all tests. Our tests should fail by default if there's
an error logged to the window.
This wires up the use of `async_hooks` in the Node build (as well as the
Edge build when a global is available) in DEV mode only. This will be
used to track debug info about what suspended during an RSC pass.
Enabled behind a flag for now.
Historically React would produce component stacks for dev builds only.
There is a cost to tracking component stacks and given the prod builds
try to optimize runtime performance these stacks were left out. More
recently React added production component stacks to Fiber in because it
can be immensely helpful in tracking down hard to debug production
issues. Fizz was not updated to have a similar behavior.
With the advent of prerendering however stacks for production in Fizz
are more relevant because prerendering is not really a dev-time task. If
you want the ability to reason about errors or postpones that happen
during a prerender having component stacks to interrogate is helpful and
these component stacks need to be available in production otherwise you
are really never going to see them. (it is possible that you could do
dev-mode prerenders but we don't expect this to be a common dev mode
workflow)
To better support the prerender use case and to make error logging in
Fizz more useful the following changes have been made
1. `onPostpone` now accepts a second `postponeInfo` argument which will
contain a componentStack. Postpones always originate from a component
render so the stack should be consistently available. The type however
will indicate the stack is optional so we can remove them in the future
if we decide the overhead is the wrong tradeoff in certain cases
2. `onError` now accepts a second `errorInfo` argument which may contain
a componentStack. If an error originated from a component a stack will
be included in the following cases.
This change entails tracking the component hierarchy in prod builds now.
While this isn't cost free it is implemented in a relatively lean
manner. Deferring the most expensive work (reifying the stack) until we
are actually in an error pathway.
In the course of implementing this change a number of simplifications
were made to the code which should make the stack tracking more
resilient. We no longer use a module global to curry the stack up to
some handler. This was delicate because you needed to always reset it
properly. We now curry the stack on the task itself.
Another change made was to track the component stack on SuspenseBoundary
instances so that we can provide the stack when aborting suspense
boundaries to help you determine which ones were affected by an abort.
Postponing in a promise that is being serialized to the client from the
server should be possible however prior to this change Flight treated
this case like an error rather than a postpone. This fix adds support
for postponing in this position and adds a test asserting you can
successfully prerender the root if you unwrap this promise inside a
suspense boundary.
This PR adds a new FB-specific configuration of Flight. We also need to
bundle a version of ReactSharedSubset that will be used for running
Flight on the server.
This initial implementation does not support server actions yet.
The FB-Flight still uses the text protocol on the server (the flag
`enableBinaryFlight` is set to false). It looks like we need some
changes in Hermes to properly support this binary format.
`onHeaders` can throw however for now we can assume that headers are
optimistic values since the only things we produce for them are preload
links. This is a pragmatic decision because React could concievably have
headers in the future which were not optimistic and thus non-optional
however it is hard to imagine what these headers might be in practice.
If we need to change this behavior to be fatal in the future it would be
a breaking change.
This commit adds error logging when `onHeaders` throws and ensures the
request can continue to render successfully.
When we postpone during a render we inject a new segment synchronously
which we postpone. That gets assigned an ID so we can refer to it
immediately in the postponed state.
When we do that, the parent segment may complete later even though it's
also synchronous. If that ends up not having any content in it, it'll
inline into the child and that will override the child's segment id
which is not correct since it was already assigned one.
To fix this, we simply opt-out of the optimization in that case which is
unfortunate because we'll generate many more unnecessary empty segments.
So we should come up with a new strategy for segment id assignment but
this fixes the bug.

I introduced a bug in a recent change to how bootstrap scripts are
handled. Rather than clearing out the bootstrap script state from
ResumableState on completion of the prerender I did it during the
flushing phase which comes later after the postponed state has likely
been serialized. We should freeze these objects in dev so this is not
possible to do easily in test (nor in actual code in real systems).
This fixes the bug by eliminating the bootstrap config during
getPostponedState which is before the state can be serialized.
Previously it was possible to postpone in the shell during a prerender
and then during a resume the bootstrap scripts would not be emitted
leading to no hydration on the client. This change moves the bootstrap
configuration to `ResumableState` where it can be serialized after
postponing if it wasn't flushed as part of the static shell.
