This disables symbol renaming in production builds. The original
variable and function names are preserved. All other forms of
compression applied by Closure (dead code elimination, inlining, etc)
are unchanged — the final program is identical to what we were producing
before, just in a more readable form.
The motivation is to make it easier to debug React issues that only
occur in production — the same reason we decided to start shipping
sourcemaps in #28827 and #28827.
However, because most apps run their own minification step on their npm
dependencies, it's not necessary for us to minify the symbols before
publishing — it'll be handled the app, if desired.
This is the same strategy Meta has used to ship React for years. The
React build itself has unminified symbols, but they get minified as part
of Meta's regular build pipeline.
Even if an app does not minify their npm dependencies, gzip covers most
of the cost of symbol renaming anyway.
This saves us from having to ship sourcemaps, which means even apps that
don't have sourcemaps configured will be able to debug the React build
as easily as they would any other npm dependency.
We currently have an awkward set up because the server can be used in
two ways. Either you can have the server code prebundled using Webpack
(what Next.js does in practice) or you can use an unbundled Node.js
server (what the reference implementation does).
The `/client` part of RSC is actually also available on the server when
it's used as a consumer for SSR. This should also be specialized
depending on if that server is Node or Edge and if it's bundled or
unbundled.
Currently we still assume Edge will always be bundled since we don't
have an interceptor for modules there.
I don't think we'll want to support this many combinations of setups for
every bundler but this might be ok for the reference implementation.
This PR doesn't actually change anything yet. It just updates the
plumbing and the entry points that are built and exposed. In follow ups
I'll fork the implementation and add more features.
