This disables symbol renaming in production builds. The original
variable and function names are preserved. All other forms of
compression applied by Closure (dead code elimination, inlining, etc)
are unchanged — the final program is identical to what we were producing
before, just in a more readable form.
The motivation is to make it easier to debug React issues that only
occur in production — the same reason we decided to start shipping
sourcemaps in #28827 and #28827.
However, because most apps run their own minification step on their npm
dependencies, it's not necessary for us to minify the symbols before
publishing — it'll be handled the app, if desired.
This is the same strategy Meta has used to ship React for years. The
React build itself has unminified symbols, but they get minified as part
of Meta's regular build pipeline.
Even if an app does not minify their npm dependencies, gzip covers most
of the cost of symbol renaming anyway.
This saves us from having to ship sourcemaps, which means even apps that
don't have sourcemaps configured will be able to debug the React build
as easily as they would any other npm dependency.
This splits out the Edge and Node implementations of Flight Client into
their own implementations. The Node implementation now takes a Node
Stream as input.
I removed the bundler config from the Browser variant because you're
never supposed to use that in the browser since it's only for SSR.
Similarly, it's required on the server. This also enables generating a
SSR manifest from the Webpack plugin. This is necessary for SSR so that
you can reverse look up what a client module is called on the server.
I also removed the option to pass a callServer from the server. We might
want to add it back in the future but basically, we don't recommend
calling Server Functions from render for initial render because if that
happened client-side it would be a client-side waterfall. If it's never
called in initial render, then it also shouldn't ever happen during SSR.
This might be considered too restrictive.
~This also compiles the unbundled packages as ESM. This isn't strictly
necessary because we only need access to dynamic import to load the
modules but we don't have any other build options that leave
`import(...)` intact, and seems appropriate that this would also be an
ESM module.~ Went with `import(...)` in CJS instead.
* Facebook -> Meta in copyright
rg --files | xargs sed -i 's#Copyright (c) Facebook, Inc. and its affiliates.#Copyright (c) Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates.#g'
* Manual tweaks
* Move files
* Update paths
* Rename import variables
* Rename /server to /writer
This is mainly because "React Server Server" is weird so we need another
dimension.
* Use "react-server" convention to enforce that writer is only loaded in a server
