… Suspense trees (#21960)

* Fix type of Offscreen props argument

Fixes an oversight from a previous refactor. The fiber that wraps
a Suspense component's children used to be a Fragment but now it's on
Offscreen fiber, so its props type has changed. There's a special
hydration path where I forgot to update this. This isn't observable
because we don't ever end up rendering this particular fiber (because
the Suspense boundary is in its fallback state) but we should fix it
anyway to avoid a potential regression in the future.

* Extract createOffscreenFromFiber logic

...into a new method called `createWorkInProgressOffscreenFiber`. Just
for symmetry with `updateWorkInProgressOffscreenFiber`. Doesn't change
any behavior.

* [Fabric] Use container node to hide/show tree

This changes how we hide and show the contents of Offscreen boundaries
in the React Fabric renderer (persistent mode), and also Suspense
boundaries which use the same feature.=

The way it used to work was that when a boundary is hidden, in the
complete phase, instead of calling the normal `cloneInstance` method
inside `appendAllChildren`, we would call a forked method called
`cloneHiddenInstance` for each of the nearest host nodes within the
subtree. This design was largely based on how it works in React DOM
(mutation mode), where instead of cloning the nearest host nodes, we
mutate their `style.display` property.

The motivation for doing it this way in React DOM was because there's no
built-in browser API for hiding a collection of DOM nodes without
affecting their layout.

In Fabric, however, there is no such limitation, so we can instead wrap
in an extra host node and apply a hidden style.

The immediate motivation for this change is that Fabric on Android has a
view pooling mechanism for instances that relies on the assumption that
a current Fiber that is cloned and replaced by a new Fiber will never
appear in a future commit. When this assumption is broken, it may cause
crashes. In the current implementation, that can indeed happen when a
node that was previously hidden is toggled back to visible. Although
this change sidesteps the issue, we may introduce in other features in
the future that would benefit from being able to revert back to an older
node without cloning it again, such as animations.

The way I've implemented this is to insert an additional HostComponent
fiber as the child of each OffscreenComponent. The extra fiber is not
ideal — the way I'd prefer to do it is to attach the host instance to
the OffscreenComponent. However, the native Fabric implementation
currently expects a 1:1 correspondence between HostComponents and host
instances, so I've deferred that optimization to a future PR to derisk
fixing the Fabric pooling crash. I left a TODO in the host config with a
description of the remaining steps, but this alone should be sufficient
to unblock.

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

  • Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
  • Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep state out of the DOM.
  • Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Learn how to use React in your own project.

Installation

React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:

You can use React as a <script> tag from a CDN, or as a react package on npm.

Documentation

You can find the React documentation on the website.

Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.

The documentation is divided into several sections:

You can improve it by sending pull requests to this repository.

Examples

We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:

function HelloMessage({ name }) {
  return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <HelloMessage name="Taylor" />,
  document.getElementById('container')
);

This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.

You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML. If you're using React as a <script> tag, read this section on integrating JSX; otherwise, the recommended JavaScript toolchains handle it automatically.
