Joe Savona 557022396b [compiler] Improved ref validation for non-mutating functions
If a function is known to freeze its inputs, and captures refs, then we can safely assume those refs are not mutated during render.

An example is React Native's PanResponder, which is designed for use in interaction handling. Calling `PanResponder.create()` creates an object that shouldn't be interacted with at render time, so we can treat it as freezing its arguments, returning a frozen value, and not accessing any refs in the callbacks passed to it. ValidateNoRefAccessInRender is updated accordingly - if we see a Freeze <place> and ImmutableCapture <place> for the same place in the same instruction, we know that it's not being mutated.

Note that this is a pretty targeted fix. One weakness is that we may not always emit a Freeze effect if a value is already frozen, which could cause this optimization not to kick in. The worst case there is that you'd just get a ref access in render error though, not miscompilation. And we could always choose to always emit Freeze effects, even for frozen values, just to retain the information for validations like this.

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.

Installation

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

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.

Contributing

The main purpose of this repository is to continue evolving React core, making it faster and easier to use. Development of React happens in the open on GitHub, and we are grateful to the community for contributing bugfixes and improvements. Read below to learn how you can take part in improving React.
