//! cheap and *very* fast to construct - building a full tree should be quick.

/// ## Details
///
/// This section provides convenience methods and trait implementations for converting common structs into a format accepted
/// by the macros.
///
/// All dynamic content in the macros must flow in through `fragment_from_iter`. Everything else must be statically layed out.
/// We pipe basically everything through `fragment_from_iter`, so we expect a very specific type:
/// ```
/// impl IntoIterator<Item = impl IntoVNode<'a>>
/// ```
///
/// As such, all node creation must go through the factory, which is only available in the component context.
/// These strict requirements make it possible to manage lifetimes and state.

/// Access the children elements passed into the component
///
/// This enables patterns where a component is passed children from its parent.
///
/// ## Details
///
/// Unlike React, Dioxus allows *only* lists of children to be passed from parent to child - not arbitrary functions
/// or classes. If you want to generate nodes instead of accepting them as a list, consider declaring a closure
/// on the props that takes Context.
///
/// If a parent passes children into a component, the child will always re-render when the parent re-renders. In other
/// words, a component cannot be automatically memoized if it borrows nodes from its parent, even if the component's
/// props are valid for the static lifetime.
///
/// ## Example
///
/// ```rust
/// const App: FC<()> = |(cx, props)|{
///     cx.render(rsx!{
///         CustomCard {
///             h1 {}
///             p {}
///         }
///     })
/// }
///
/// const CustomCard: FC<()> = |(cx, props)|{
///     cx.render(rsx!{
///         div {
///             h1 {"Title card"}
///             {props.children}
///         }
///     })
/// }
/// ```
///
/// ## Notes:
///
/// This method returns a "ScopeChildren" object. This object is copy-able and preserve the correct lifetime.
