//! # VirtualDOM Implementation for Rust //! //! This module provides the primary mechanics to create a hook-based, concurrent VDOM for Rust. //! //! In this file, multiple items are defined. This file is big, but should be documented well to //! navigate the inner workings of the Dom. We try to keep these main mechanics in this file to limit //! the possible exposed API surface (keep fields private). This particular implementation of VDOM //! is extremely efficient, but relies on some unsafety under the hood to do things like manage //! micro-heaps for components. We are currently working on refactoring the safety out into safe(r) //! abstractions, but current tests (MIRI and otherwise) show no issues with the current implementation. //! //! Included is: //! - The [`VirtualDom`] itself //! - The [`Scope`] object for managing component lifecycle //! - The [`ActiveFrame`] object for managing the Scope`s microheap //! - The [`Context`] object for exposing VirtualDOM API to components //! - The [`NodeFactory`] object for lazily exposing the `Context` API to the nodebuilder API //! //! This module includes just the barebones for a complete VirtualDOM API. //! Additional functionality is defined in the respective files. use futures_channel::mpsc::{UnboundedReceiver, UnboundedSender}; use crate::innerlude::*; use std::{any::Any, rc::Rc}; /// An integrated virtual node system that progresses events and diffs UI trees. /// /// Differences are converted into patches which a renderer can use to draw the UI. /// /// If you are building an App with Dioxus, you probably won't want to reach for this directly, instead opting to defer /// to a particular crate's wrapper over the [`VirtualDom`] API. /// /// Example /// ```rust /// static App: FC<()> = |(cx, props)|{ /// cx.render(rsx!{ /// div { /// "Hello World" /// } /// }) /// } /// /// async fn main() { /// let mut dom = VirtualDom::new(App); /// let mut inital_edits = dom.rebuild(); /// initialize_screen(inital_edits); /// /// loop { /// let next_frame = TimeoutFuture::new(Duration::from_millis(16)); /// let edits = dom.run_with_deadline(next_frame).await; /// apply_edits(edits); /// render_frame(); /// } /// } /// ``` pub struct VirtualDom { scheduler: Scheduler, base_scope: ScopeId, root_fc: Box, root_props: Rc, // we need to keep the allocation around, but we don't necessarily use it _root_caller: RootCaller, } impl VirtualDom { /// Create a new VirtualDOM with a component that does not have special props. /// /// # Description /// /// Later, the props can be updated by calling "update" with a new set of props, causing a set of re-renders. /// /// This is useful when a component tree can be driven by external state (IE SSR) but it would be too expensive /// to toss out the entire tree. /// /// /// # Example /// ``` /// fn Example(cx: Context<()>) -> DomTree { /// cx.render(rsx!( div { "hello world" } )) /// } /// /// let dom = VirtualDom::new(Example); /// ``` /// /// Note: the VirtualDOM is not progressed, you must either "run_with_deadline" or use "rebuild" to progress it. pub fn new(root: FC<()>) -> Self { Self::new_with_props(root, ()) } /// Create a new VirtualDOM with the given properties for the root component. /// /// # Description /// /// Later, the props can be updated by calling "update" with a new set of props, causing a set of re-renders. /// /// This is useful when a component tree can be driven by external state (IE SSR) but it would be too expensive /// to toss out the entire tree. /// /// /// # Example /// ``` /// #[derive(PartialEq, Props)] /// struct SomeProps { /// name: &'static str /// } /// /// fn Example(cx: Context) -> DomTree { /// cx.render(rsx!{ div{ "hello {cx.name}" } }) /// } /// /// let dom = VirtualDom::new(Example); /// ``` /// /// Note: the VirtualDOM is not progressed on creation.
