[Flight] Taint APIs (#27445)
This lets a registered object or value be "tainted", which we block from
crossing the serialization boundary. It's only allowed to stay
in-memory.

This is an extra layer of protection against mistakes of transferring
data from a data access layer to a client. It doesn't provide perfect
protection, because it doesn't trace through derived values and
substrings. So it shouldn't be used as the only security layer but more
layers are better.

`taintObjectReference` is for specific object instances, not any nested
objects or values inside that object. It's useful to avoid specific
objects from getting passed as is. It ensures that you don't
accidentally leak values in a specific context. It can be for security
reasons like tokens, privacy reasons like personal data or performance
reasons like avoiding passing large objects over the wire.

It might be privacy violation to leak the age of a specific user, but
the number itself isn't blocked in any other context. As soon as the
value is extracted and passed specifically without the object, it can
therefore leak.

`taintUniqueValue` is useful for high entropy values such as hashes,
tokens or crypto keys that are very unique values. In that case it can
be useful to taint the actual primitive values themselves. These can be
encoded as a string, bigint or typed array. We don't currently check for
this value in a substring or inside other typed arrays.

Since values can be created from different sources they don't just
follow garbage collection. In this case an additional object must be
provided that defines the life time of this value for how long it should
be blocked. It can be `globalThis` for essentially forever, but that
risks leaking memory for ever when you're dealing with dynamic values
like reading a token from a database. So in that case the idea is that
you pass the object that might end up in cache.

A request is the only thing that is expected to do any work. The
principle is that you can derive values from out of a tainted
entry during a request. Including stashing it in a per request cache.
What you can't do is store a derived value in a global module level
cache. At least not without also tainting the object.

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

  • Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
  • Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep the state out of the DOM.
  • Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Learn how to use React in your project.

Installation

React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:

You can use React as a <script> tag from a CDN, or as a react package on npm.

Documentation

You can find the React documentation on the website.

Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.

The documentation is divided into several sections:

You can improve it by sending pull requests to this repository.

Examples

We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function HelloMessage({ name }) {
  return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);

This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.

You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML. If you're using React as a <script> tag, read this section on integrating JSX; otherwise, the recommended JavaScript toolchains handle it automatically.

Contributing
