//! # 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 innerworkings 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 mangning component lifecycle //! - The [`ActiveFrame`] object for managing the Scope`s microheap //! - The [`Context`] object for exposing VirtualDOM API to components //! - The [`NodeFactory`] object for lazyily exposing the `Context` API to the nodebuilder API //! - The [`Hook`] object for exposing state management in components. //! //! This module includes just the barebones for a complete VirtualDOM API. //! Additional functionality is defined in the respective files. use crate::{arena::SharedResources, innerlude::*}; use slotmap::DefaultKey; use slotmap::SlotMap; use std::any::Any; use std::any::TypeId; use std::cell::RefCell; use std::pin::Pin; /// 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. /// /// /// /// /// /// /// pub struct VirtualDom { /// All mounted components are arena allocated to make additions, removals, and references easy to work with /// A generational arena is used to re-use slots of deleted scopes without having to resize the underlying arena. /// /// This is wrapped in an UnsafeCell because we will need to get mutable access to unique values in unique bump arenas /// and rusts's guartnees cannot prove that this is safe.
