While the goal is to remove legacy context completely, I think we can
already land the removal of legacy context for function components. I
didn't even know this feature existed until reading the code recently.
The win is just a couple of property lookups on function renders, but it
trims down the API already as the full removal will likely still take a
bit more time.
www: Starting with enabled test renderer and a feature flag for
production rollout.
RN: Not enabled, will follow up on this.
For environments that still have legacy contexts available, this adds a
warning to make the remaining call sites easier to locate and encourage
upgrades.
Basically make `console.error` and `console.warn` behave like normal -
when a component stack isn't appended. I need this because I need to be
able to print rich logs with the component stack option and to be able
to disable instrumentation completely in `console.createTask`
environments that don't need it.
Currently we can't print logs with richer objects because they're
toString:ed first. In practice, pretty much all arguments we log are
already toString:ed so it's not necessary anyway. Some might be like a
number. So it would only be a problem if some environment can't handle
proper consoles but then it's up to that environment to toString it
before logging.
The `Warning: ` prefix is historic and is both noisy and confusing. It's
mostly unnecessary since the UI surrounding `console.error` and
`console.warn` tend to have visual treatment around it anyway. However,
it's actively misleading when `console.error` gets prefixed with a
Warning that we consider an error level. There's an argument to be made
that some of our `console.error` don't make the bar for an error but
then the argument is to downgrade each of those to `console.warn` - not
to brand all our actual error logging with `Warning: `.
Apparently something needs to change in React Native before landing this
because it depends on the prefix somehow which probably doesn't make
sense already.

This moves the entire string ref implementation out Fiber and into the
JSX runtime. The string is converted to a callback ref during element
creation. This is a subtle change in behavior, because it will have
already been converted to a callback ref if you access element.prop.ref
or element.ref. But this is only for Meta, because string refs are
disabled entirely in open source. And if it leads to an issue in
practice, the solution is to switch to a different ref type, which Meta
is going to do regardless.
This removes defaultProps support for all component types except for
classes. We've chosen to continue supporting defaultProps for classes
because lots of older code relies on it, and unlike function components,
(which can use default params), there's no straightforward alternative.
By implication, it also removes support for setting defaultProps on
`React.lazy` wrapper. So this will not work:
```js
const MyClassComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./MyClassComponent'));
// MyClassComponent is not actually a class; it's a lazy wrapper. So
// defaultProps does not work.
MyClassComponent.defaultProps = { foo: 'bar' };
```
However, if you set the default props on the class itself, then it's
fine.
For classes, this change also moves where defaultProps are resolved.
Previously, defaultProps were resolved by the JSX runtime. This change
is only observable if you introspect a JSX element, which is relatively
rare but does happen.
In other words, previously `<ClassWithDefaultProp />.props.aDefaultProp`
would resolve to the default prop value, but now it does not.

This removes string refs, which has been deprecated in Strict Mode for
seven years.
I've left them behind a flag for Meta, but in open source this fully
removes the feature.
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.
This removes the remaining `propTypes` validation calls, making
declaring `propTypes` a no-op. In other words, React itself will no
longer validate the `propTypes` that you declare on your components.
In general, our recommendation is to use static type checking (e.g.
TypeScript). If you'd like to still run propTypes checks, you can do so
manually, same as you'd do outside React:
```js
import checkPropTypes from 'prop-types/checkPropTypes';
function Button(props) {
checkPropTypes(Button.propTypes, prop, 'prop', Button.name)
// ...
}
```
This could be automated as a Babel plugin if you want to keep these
checks implicit. (We will not be providing such a plugin, but someone in
community might be interested in building or maintaining one.)

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.
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.
The www builds include disableLegacyContext as a dynamic flag, so we
should be running the tests in that mode, too. Previously we were
overriding the flag during the test run. This strategy usually doesn't
work because the flags get compiled out in the final build, but we
happen to not test www in build mode, only source.
To get of this hacky override, I added a test gate to every test that
uses legacy context. When we eventually remove legacy context from the
codebase, this should make it slightly easier to find which tests are
affected. And removes one more hack from our hack-ridden test config.
Given that sometimes www has features enabled that aren't on in other
builds, we might want to consider testing its build artifacts in CI,
rather than just source. That would have forced this cleanup to happen
sooner. Currently we only test the public builds in CI.

The old version of prettier we were using didn't support the Flow syntax
to access properties in a type using `SomeType['prop']`. This updates
`prettier` and `rollup-plugin-prettier` to the latest versions.
I added the prettier config `arrowParens: "avoid"` to reduce the diff
size as the default has changed in Prettier 2.0. The largest amount of
changes comes from function expressions now having a space. This doesn't
have an option to preserve the old behavior, so we have to update this.

I don't think "array or iterator" is adding anything, and it may well be confusing, especially since this is one of the first and most common warnings that devs see.
