* [Fizz] Improve text separator byte efficiency

Previously text separators were inserted following any Text node in Fizz. This increases bytes sent when streaming and in some cases such as title elements these separators are not interpreted as comment nodes and leak into the visual aspects of a page as escaped text.

The reason simple tracking on the last pushed type doesn't work is that Segments can be filled in asynchronously later and so you cannot know in a single pass whether the preceding content was a text node or not. This commit adds a concept of TextEmbedding which provides a best effort signal to Segments on whether they are embedded within text. This allows the later resolution of that Segment to add text separators when possibly necessary but avoid them when they are surely not.

The current implementation can only "peek" head if the segment is a the Root Segment or a Suspense Boundary Segment. In these cases we know there is no trailing text embedding and we can eliminate the separator at the end of the segment if the last emitted element was Text. In normal Segments we cannot peek and thus have to assume there might be a trailing text embedding and we issue a separator defensively. This should be rare in practice as it is assumed most components that will cause segment creation will also emit some markup at the edges.

* [Fizz] Improve separator efficiency when flushing delayed segments

The method by which we get segment markup into the DOM differs depending on when the Segment resolves.

If a Segment resolves before flushing begins for it's parent it will be emitted inline with the parent markup. In these cases separators may be necessary because they are how we clue the browser into breakup up text into distinct nodes that will later match up with what will be hydrated on the client.

If a Segment resolves after flushing has happened a script will be used to patch up the DOM in the client. when this happens if there are any text nodes on the boundary of the patch they won't be "merged" and thus will continue to have distinct representation as Nodes in the DOM. Thus we can avoid doing any separators at the boundaries in these cases.

After applying these changes the only time you will get text separators as follows

* in between serial text nodes that emit at the same time - these are necessary and cannot be eliminated unless we stop relying on the browser to automatically parse the correct text nodes when processing this HTML
* after a final text node in a non-boundary segment that resolves before it's parent has flushed - these are sometimes extraneous, like when the next emitted thing is a non-Text node.

In all other cases text separators should be omitted which means the general byte efficiency of this approach should be pretty good

React · GitHub license npm version CircleCI Status PRs Welcome

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 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 the 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 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:

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

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

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);

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.

Contributing
