This PR reorganizes the `react-dom` entrypoint to only pull in code that
is environment agnostic. Previously if you required anything from this
entrypoint in any environment the entire client reconciler was loaded.
In a prior release we added a server rendering stub which you could
alias in server environments to omit this unecessary code. After landing
this change this entrypoint should not load any environment specific
code.
While a few APIs are truly client (browser) only such as createRoot and
hydrateRoot many of the APIs you import from this package are only
useful in the browser but could concievably be imported in shared code
(components running in Fizz or shared components as part of an RSC app).
To avoid making these require opting into the client bundle we are
keeping them in the `react-dom` entrypoint and changing their
implementation so that in environments where they are not particularly
useful they do something benign and expected.
#### Removed APIs
The following APIs are being removed in the next major. Largely they
have all been deprecated already and are part of legacy rendering modes
where concurrent features of React are not available
* `render`
* `hydrate`
* `findDOMNode`
* `unmountComponentAtNode`
* `unstable_createEventHandle`
* `unstable_renderSubtreeIntoContainer`
* `unstable_runWithPrioirty`
#### moved Client APIs
These APIs were available on both `react-dom` (with a warning) and
`react-dom/client`. After this change they are only available on
`react-dom/client`
* `createRoot`
* `hydrateRoot`
#### retained APIs
These APIs still exist on the `react-dom` entrypoint but have normalized
behavior depending on which renderers are currently in scope
* `flushSync`: will execute the function (if provided) inside the
flushSync implemention of FlightServer, Fizz, and Fiber DOM renderers.
* `unstable_batchedUpdates`: This is a noop in concurrent mode because
it is now the only supported behavior because there is no legacy
rendering mode
* `createPortal`: This just produces an object. It can be called from
anywhere but since you will probably not have a handle on a DOM node to
pass to it it will likely warn in environments other than the browser
* preloading APIS such as `preload`: These methods will execute the
preload across all renderers currently in scope. Since we resolve the
Request object on the server using AsyncLocalStorage or the current
function stack in practice only one renderer should act upon the
preload.
In addition to these changes the server rendering stub now just rexports
everything from `react-dom`. In a future minor we will add a warning
when using the stub and in the next major we will remove the stub
altogether
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.
