Some of our internal reconciler types have leaked into other packages. Usually, these types are treated as opaque; we don't read and write to its fields. This is good. However, the type is often passed back to a reconciler method. For example, React DOM creates a FiberRoot with `createContainer`, then passes that root to `updateContainer`. It doesn't do anything with the root except pass it through, but because `updateContainer` expects a full FiberRoot, React DOM is still coupled to all its fields. I don't know if there's an idiomatic way to handle this in Flow. Opaque types are simlar, but those only work within a single file. AFAIK, there's no way to use a package as the boundary for opaqueness. The immediate problem this presents is that the reconciler refactor will involve changes to our internal data structures. I don't want to have to fork every single package that happens to pass through a Fiber or FiberRoot, or access any one of its fields. So my current plan is to share the same Flow type across both forks. The shared type will be a superset of each implementation's type, e.g. Fiber will have both an `expirationTime` field and a `lanes` field. The implementations will diverge, but not the types. To do this, I lifted the type definitions into a separate module. |
