Now that RN is only on the New Architecture, we can stop stop syncing
the legacy React Native renderers.
In this diff, I just stop syncing them. In a follow up I'll delete the
code for them so only Fabric is left.
This will also allow us to remove the `enableLegacyMode` feature flag.
Stacked on #34544
We only have getBoundingClientRect available from RN currently. This
should work as a substitute for this case because the equivalent of
multi-rect elements in RN is a nested Text component. We only include
the rects of top-level host components here so we can assume that
calling getBoundingClientRect on each child is the same result.
Tested in react-native with Fantom.
Stacked on #34533 for root fragment handling
This is the same approach as DOM, where we call getRootNode on the
parent.
Tests are in react-native using Fantom.
## Summary
Experimentation has completed for this at Meta and we've observed
positive impact on key React Native surfaces.

Same as #34538 but for gestures.
Includes various fixes.
This shows how it ends with a Transition when you release in the
committed state. Note how the Animation of the Gesture continues until
the Transition is done so that the handoff is seamless.

The root instance doesn't have a canonical property so we were not
returning a public instance that we can call compareDocumentPosition on
when a Fragment had no other host parent in Fabric. In this case we need
to get the ReactNativeElement from the ReactNativeDocument.
I've also added test coverage for this case in DOM for consistency,
though it was already working there because we use DOM elements as root.
This same test will be copied to RN using Fantom.

We already cover the time between "Starting Animation" and "Remaining
Effects" as "Animating". However, if the effects are forced then we can
still be animating after that. This fills in that gap.
This also fills in the gap if another render starts before the animation
finishes on the same track. It'll mark the blank space between the
previous render finishing and the next render starting as "Animating".
This should correspond roughly to the native "Animations" track.

We currently log all Suspended Commit as "Suspended on Images or CSS"
but it can really be other reasons too now. Like waiting on the previous
View Transition. This allows the host config configure this reason.
Now when one animation starts before another one finishes we log that as
"Waiting for the previous Animation".

The "Commit" phase for a View Transition starts before the snapshot
phase (before mutation) and then stretches into the async gap of
`startViewTransition`, encompasses the mutation phase inside of its
update callback and finally the layout phase.
However, between the mutation phase and the layout phase we may suspend
the start of the view transition on fonts and/or images. In that case we
now split the Commit phase into first one before we suspend and then we
log "Waiting for Images and/or Fonts" and then another Commit phase
around the layout effects.

We currently track the suspended state temporarily with a global which
is safe as long as we always read it during a sync pass. However, we
sometimes read it in closures and then we have to be carefully to pass
the right one since it's possible another commit on a different root has
started at that point. This avoids this footgun.
Another reason to do this is that I want to read it in
`startViewTransition` which is in an async gap after which point it's no
longer safe. So I have to pass that through the `commitRoot` bound
function.
Currently suspensey images doesn't account for how long we've already
been waiting. This means that you can for example wait for 300ms for the
throttle + 500ms for the images. If a Transition takes a while to
complete you can also wait that time + an additional 500ms for the
images.
This tracks the start time of a Transition so that we can count the
timeout starting from when the user interacted or when the last fallback
committed (which is where the 300ms throttle is computed from). Creating
a single timeline.
This also moves the timeout to a central place which I'll use in a
follow up.
This update was a bit more involved.
- `React$Component` was removed, I replaced it with Flow component
types.
- Flow removed shipping the standard library. This adds the environment
libraries back from `flow-typed` which seemed to have changed slightly
(probably got more precise and less `any`s). Suppresses some new type
errors.
After an easy couple version with #34252, this version is less flexible
(and safer) on inferring exported types mainly.
We require to annotate some exported types to differentiate between
`boolean` and literal `true` types, etc.

Same basic semantics as the react-dom for determining document position
of a Fragment compared to a given node. It's simpler here because we
don't have to deal with inserted nodes or portals. So we can skip a
bunch of the validation logic.
The logic for handling empty fragments is the same so I've split out
`compareDocumentPositionForEmptyFragment` into a shared module. There
doesn't seem to be a great place to put shared DOM logic between Fabric
and DOM configs at the moment. There may be more of this coming as we
add more and more DOM APIs to RN.
For testing I've written Fantom tests internally which pass the basic
cases on this build. The renderer we have configured for Fabric tests in
the repo doesn't support the Element APIs we need like
`compareDocumentPosition`.
## Summary
ReactNativeAttributePayloadFabric was synced to react-native in
0e42d33cbc.
We should now consume these methods from the
ReactNativePrivateInterface.
Moving these methods to the React Native repo gives us more flexibility
to experiment with new techniques for bridging and diffing props
payloads.
I did have to leave some stub implementations for existing unit tests,
but moved all detailed tests to the React Native repo.

## Summary
In react-native props that are passed as function get converted to a
boolean (`true`). This is the default pattern for event handlers in
react-native.
However, there are reasons for why you might want to opt-out of this
behavior, and instead, pass along the actual function as the prop.
Right now, there is no way to do this, and props that are functions
always get set to `true`.
The `ViewConfig` attributes already have the API for a `process`
function. I simply moved the check for the process function up, so if a
ViewConfig's prop attribute configured a process function this is always
called first.
This provides an API to opt out of the default behavior.
This is the accompanied PR for react-native:

I modified the code manually in a template react-native app and
confirmed its working. This is a code path you only need in very special
cases, thus it's a bit hard to provide a test for this. I recorded a
video where you can see that the changes are active and the prop is
being passed as native value.
For this I created a custom native component with a view config that
looked like this:
```js
const viewConfig = {
uiViewClassName: 'CustomView',
bubblingEventTypes: {},
directEventTypes: {},
validAttributes: {
nativeProp: {
process: (nativeProp) => {
// Identity function that simply returns the prop function callback
// to opt out of this prop being set to `true` as its a function
return nativeProp
},
},
},
}
```

Additionally I made sure that this doesn't conflict with any existing
view configs in react native. In general, this shouldn't be a breaking
change, as for existing view configs it didn't made a difference if you
simply set `myProp: true` or `myProp: { process: () => {...} }` because
as soon as it was detected that the prop is a function the config
wouldn't be used (which is what this PR fixes).
Probably everyone, including the react-native core components use
`myProp: true` for callback props, so this change should be fine.
## Summary
We completed testing on these internally, so can cleanup the separate
fast and slow paths and remove the `enableShallowPropDiffing` flag which
we're not pursuing.
## How did you test this change?
```
yarn test ReactNativeAttributePayloadFabric
```
When a new child of a fragment instance is inserted, we need to notify
the instance to keep any relevant tracking up to date. For example, we
automatically observe the new child with any active
IntersectionObserver.
For mutable renderers (DOM), we reuse the existing traversal in
`commitPlacement` that does the insertions for HostComponents. Immutable
renderers (Fabric) exit this path before the traversal though, so
currently we can't notify the fragment instances.
Here I've created a separate traversal in `commitPlacement`,
specifically for immutable renders when `enableFragmentRefs` is on.
This adds `compareDocumentPosition(otherNode)` to fragment instances.
The semantics implemented are meant to match typical element
positioning, with some fragment specifics. See the unit tests for all
expectations.
- An element preceding a fragment is `Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING`
- An element after a fragment is `Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_FOLLOWING`
- An element containing the fragment is
`Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING` and
`Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINING`
- An element within the fragment is
`Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINED_BY`
- An element compared against an empty fragment will result in
`Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_DISCONNECTED` and
`Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_IMPLEMENTATION_SPECIFIC`
Since we assume a fragment instances target children are DOM siblings
and we want to compare the full fragment as a pseudo container, we can
compare against the first target child outside of handling the special
cases (empty fragments and contained elements).
Adds Fragment Ref support to RN through the Fabric config, starting with
`observeUsing`/`unobserveUsing`. This is mostly a copy from the
implementation on DOM, and some of it can likely be shared in the future
but keeping it separate for now and we can refactor as we add more
features.
Added a basic test with Fabric, but testing specific methods requires so
much mocking that it doesn't seem valuable here.
I built Fabric and ran on the Catalyst app internally to test with
intersection observers end to end.
## Summary
We don't need the isArray check for this experiment, as
`fastAddProperties` already does the same. Also renaming
slowAddProperties to make it clearer we can fully remove this codepath
once fastAddProperties is fully rolled out.
## How did you test this change?
```

```
## Summary
This fixes how we map priorities between Fabric and the React
reconciler. At the moment, we're only considering default and discrete
priorities, when there's a larger range of priorities available.
In Fabric, we'll test supporting additional priorities soon. For that
test to do something useful, we need the new priorities to be mapped to
reconciler priorities correctly, which is what this change is done.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> At the moment, this is a no-op because Fabric is only reporting
default and discrete event priorities.
## How did you test this change?
Will test e2e on React Native on top of
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/50627
The changes are gated in React Native, so we'll use that feature flag to
test this.
We've known we've wanted this for many years and most of the
implementation was already done for Suspensey CSS. This waits to commit
until images have decoded by default or up to 500ms timeout (same as
suspensey fonts).
It only applies to Transitions, Retries (Suspense), Gesture Transitions
(flag) and Idle (doesn't exist). Sync updates just commit immediately.
`<img loading="lazy" src="..." />` opts out since you explicitly want it
to load lazily in that case.
`<img onLoad={...} src="..." />` also opts out since that implies you're
ok with managing your own reveal.
In the future, we may add an opt in e.g. `<img blocking="render"
src="..." />` that opts into longer timeouts and re-suspends even sync
updates. Perhaps also triggering error boundaries on errors.
The rollout for this would have to go in a major and we may have to
relax the default timeout to not delay too much by default. However, we
can also make this part of `enableViewTransition` so that if you opt-in
by using View Transitions then those animations will suspend on images.
That we could ship in a minor.
Stacked on #32788.
Normally we track `addTransitionType` globally because of the async gap
that can happen in Actions where we lack AsyncContext to associate it
with a particular Transition. This unfortunately also means it's
possible to call outside of `startTransition` which is something we want
to warn for.
We need to be able to distinguish whether `addTransitionType` is for a
regular Transition or a Gesture Transition though.
Since `startGestureTransition` is only synchronous we can track it
within that execution scope and move it to a separate set. Since we know
for sure which call owns it we can properly associate it with that
specific provider's `ScheduledGesture`.
This does not yet handle calling `addTransitionType` inside the render
phase of a gesture. That would currently still be associated with the
next Transition instead.
Stacked on #32785.
This is now replaced by `startGestureTransition` added in #32785.
I also renamed the flag from `enableSwipeTransition` to
`enableGestureTransition` to correspond to the new name.
Starting a View Transition is an async sequence. Since React can get a
sync update in the middle of sequence we sometimes interrupt that
sequence.
Currently, we don't actually cancel the View Transition so it can just
run as a partial. This ensures that we fully skip it when that happens,
as well as warn.
However, it's very easy to trigger this with just a setState in
useLayoutEffect right now. Therefore if we're inside the preparing
sequence of a startViewTransition, this delays work that would've
normally flushed in a microtask. ~Maybe we want to do the same for
Default work already scheduled through a scheduler Task.~ Edit: This was
already done.
`flushSync` currently will still lead to an interrupted View Transition
(with a warning). There's a tradeoff here whether we want to try our
best to preserve the guarantees of `flushSync` or favor the animation.
It's already possible to suspend at the root with `flushSync` which
means it's not always 100% guaranteed to commit anyway. We could treat
it as suspended. But let's see how much this is a problem in practice.
This does the same thing for `measureUpdateViewTransition` that we did
for `measureNestedViewTransitions` in
e3cbaffef0.
If a boundary hasn't mutated and didn't change in size, we mark it for
cancellation. Otherwise we add names to it. The different from the
CommitViewTransition path is that the "old" names are added to the
clones so this is the first time the "new" names.
Now we also cancel any boundaries that were unchanged. So now the root
no longer animates. We still have to clone them. There are other
optimizations that can avoid cloning but once we've done all the layouts
we can still cancel the running animation and let them just be the
regular content if they didn't change. Just like the regular
fire-and-forget path.
This also fixes the measurement so that we measure clones by adjusting
their position back into the viewport.
This actually surfaces a bug in Safari that was already in #32612. It
turns out that the old names aren't picked up for some reason and so in
Safari they looked more like a cross-fade than what #32612 was supposed
to fix. However, now that bug is even more apparent because they
actually just disappear in Safari. I'm not sure what that bug is but
it's unrelated to this PR so will fix that separately.
*This API is experimental and subject to change or removal.*
This PR is an alternative to
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/32421 based on feedback:
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/32421#pullrequestreview-2625382015
. The difference here is that we traverse from the Fragment's fiber at
operation time instead of keeping a set of children on the
`FragmentInstance`. We still need to handle newly added or removed child
nodes to apply event listeners and observers, so we treat those updates
as effects.
**Fragment Refs**
This PR extends React's Fragment component to accept a `ref` prop. The
Fragment's ref will attach to a custom host instance, which will provide
an Element-like API for working with the Fragment's host parent and host
children.
Here I've implemented `addEventListener`, `removeEventListener`, and
`focus` to get started but we'll be iterating on this by adding
additional APIs in future PRs. This sets up the mechanism to attach refs
and perform operations on children. The FragmentInstance is implemented
in `react-dom` here but is planned for Fabric as well.
The API works by targeting the first level of host children and proxying
Element-like APIs to allow developers to manage groups of elements or
elements that cannot be easily accessed such as from a third-party
library or deep in a tree of Functional Component wrappers.
```javascript
import {Fragment, useRef} from 'react';
const fragmentRef = useRef(null);
<Fragment ref={fragmentRef}>
<div id="A" />
<Wrapper>
<div id="B">
<div id="C" />
</div>
</Wrapper>
<div id="D" />
</Fragment>
```
In this case, calling `fragmentRef.current.addEventListener()` would
apply an event listener to `A`, `B`, and `D`. `C` is skipped because it
is nested under the first level of Host Component. If another Host
Component was appended as a sibling to `A`, `B`, or `D`, the event
listener would be applied to that element as well and any other APIs
would also affect the newly added child.
This is an implementation of the basic feature as a starting point for
feedback and further iteration.
This is really the essence mechanism of the `useSwipeTransition`
feature.
We don't want to immediately switch to the destination state when
starting a gesture. The effects remain mounted on the current state. We
want the current state to be "live". This is important to for example
allow a video to keeping playing while starting a swipe (think
TikTok/Reels) and not stop until you've committed the action. The only
thing that can be live is the "new" state. Therefore we treat the
destination as the "old" state and perform a reverse animation from
there.
Ideally we could apply the old state to the DOM tree, take a snapshot
and then revert it back in the mutation of `startViewTransition`.
Unfortunately, the way `startViewTransition` was designed it always
paints one frame of the "old" state which would lead this to cause a
flicker.
To work around this, we need to create a clone of any View Transition
boundary that might be mutated and then render that offscreen. That way
we can render the "current" state on screen and the "destination" state
offscreen for the screenshots. Being mutated can be either due to React
doing a DOM mutation or if a child boundary resizes that causes the
parent to relayout. We don't have to do this for insertions or deletions
since they only appear on one side.
The worst case scenario is that we have to clone the whole root. That's
what this first PR implements. We clone the container and if it's not
absolutely positioned, we position it on top of the current one. If the
container is `document` or `<html>` we instead clone the `<body>` tag
since it's the only one we can insert a duplicate of. If the container
is deep in the tree we clone just that even though technically we should
probably clone the whole document in that case. We just keep the impact
smaller. Ideally though we'd never hit this case. In fact, if we clone
the document we issue a warning (always for now) since you probably
should optimize this. In the future I intend to add optimizations when
affected View Transition boundaries are absolutely positioned since they
cannot possibly relayout the parent. This would be the ideal way to use
this feature most efficiently but it still works without it.
Since we render the "old" state outside the viewport, we need to then
adjust the animation to put it back into the viewport. This is the
trickiest part to get right while still preserving any customization of
the View Transitions done using CSS. This current approach reapplies all
the animations with adjusted keyframes.
In the case of an "exit" the pseudo-element itself is positioned outside
the viewport but since we can't programmatically update the style of the
pseudo-element itself we instead adjust all the keyframes to put it back
into the viewport. If there is no animation on the group we add one.
In the case of an "update" the pseudo-element is positioned on the new
state which is already inside the viewport. However, the auto-generated
animation of the group has a starting keyframe that starts outside the
viewport. In this case we need to adjust that keyframe.
In the future I might explore a technique that inserts stylesheets
instead of mutating the animations. It might be simpler. But whatever
hacks work to maximize the compatibility is best.
This adds a `ReactFiberApplyGesture` which is basically intended to be a
fork of the phases in `ReactFiberCommitWork` except for the fake commit
that `useSwipeTransition` does. So far none of the phases are actually
implemented yet. This is just the scaffolding around them so I can fill
them in later.
The important bit is that we call `startViewTransition` (via the
`startGestureTransition` Config) when a gesture starts. We add a paused
animation to prevent the transition from committing (even if the
ScrollTimeline goes to 100%). This also locks the documents so that we
can't commit any other Transitions until it completes.
When the gesture completes (scroll end) then we stop the gesture View
Transition. If there's no new work scheduled we do that immediately but
if there was any new work already scheduled, then we assume that this
will potentially commit the new state. So we wait for that to finish.
This lets us lock the animation in its state instead of snapping back
and then applying the real update.
Using this technique we can't actually run a View Transition from the
current state to the actual committed state because it would snap back
to the beginning and then run the View Transition from there. Therefore
any new commit needs to skip View Transitions even if it should've
technically animated to that state. We assume that the new state is the
same as the optimistic state you already swiped to. An alternative to
this technique could be to commit the optimistic state when we cancel
and then apply any new updates o top of that. I might explore that in
the future.
Regardless it's important that the `action` associated with the swipe
schedules some work before we cancel. Otherwise it risks reverting
first. So I had to update this in the fixture.
## Summary
> [!NOTE]
> This only modifies types, so shouldn't have an impact at runtime.
Some time ago we moved some type definitions from React to React Native
in #26437.
This continues making progress on that so values that are created by
React Native and passed to the React renderer (in this case public
instances) are actually defined in React Native and not in React.
This will allow us to modify the definition of some of these types
without having to make changes in the React repository (in the short
term, we want to refactor PublicInstance from an object to an interface,
and then modify that interface to add all the new DOM methods).
## How did you test this change?
Manually synced `ReactNativeTypes` on top of
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/49602 and verified Flow
passes.
Stacked on #32379
Track the range offsets along the timeline where previous/current/next
is. This can also be specified as an option. This lets you model more
than three states along a timeline by clamping them and then updating
the "current" as you go.
It also allows specifying the "current" offset as something different
than what it was when the gesture started such as if it has to start
after scroll has already happened (such as what happens if you listen to
the "scroll" event).
