In odoo/owl#1352 we added support for using t-foreach on Map objects,
maps should behave the same as objects where keys are available under
the name specified in t-as and values under that same name with the
suffix `_value`. Unfortunately, because the code for objects was written
in a confusing way (values were stored in a variable named `keys` and
vice versa), the implementation for Map was incorrect and keys and
values were swapped.
This commit fixes that and rewrites the code to be less confusing: keys
are extracted from the variables `k_block` and values from `v_block`,
which swaps the behaviour, and the code to prepare a list from an object
now extracts the keys in `keys` and the values in `values`
It is not really useful, but it is possible to bind an anonymous
function prop. However, with the recent change on how the bind feature
works, it now crashes.
This commit makes sure that we properly apply the `bind` operation to
the function, and not to the last term of the function.
It is common in Owl components to have anonymous function as props.
However, since each rendering create a different (but equivalent)
closure, Owl will consider the props different, so will update the child
component, but this is (often) not necessary.
This commit will help reduce the problem by introducing a new `.alike`
prop suffix, that will let Owl know that each version of that specific
prop should be considered the same, so, will be ignored by the props
comparison code.

Previously, refs could get set to null incorrectly, or could stay set
when they shouldn't. This was caused by the fact that singleRefSetter
and multiRefSetters are created on every render, meaning that any render
that did not affect the status of the ref (mounted or not), would
overwrite the previous ref setter, including its closure, causing the
captured `_el` or `count` to be lost. This means that on a subsequent
render that did affect the status of the ref, the singleRefSetter would
consider that it did not set the ref, and so shouldn't unset it, causing
it to incorrectly stay keep the element, while in multiRefSetter, the
opposite problem occured: the count would be 0 on removal, causing it to
believe that it was the first call in the corresponding patch that
affected the ref, when in fact, the closure is already stale, because it
was created from the previous render, and the fresh multiRefSetter from
the latest render may already have been called by an element with that
ref that came earlier in the template.
This commit changes the ref setting strategy to work around the issue of
stale closures: we define a setRef method on ComponentNode that is
always called, this method ignores calls with `null`, meaning that the
refs object on the ComponentNode never reverts to a null value for any
key. Instead, the useRef hook will check whether the element that the
ref points to is still mounted, and return null if not.
Have a t-ref on a DOM node with a t-key.
Change the t-key.
Before this commit, the old block removed its element from the component's refs *after*
the new block had been mounted, meaning that in effect, the resulting
ref at the end of the whole patch was null.
After this commit, we only remove an element from the component's ref if that very same
element was indeed the ref. (otherwise it means someone else has changed the ref.)
t-call-context is a feature that's supposed to mask the rendering
context completely, but currently the component remains available
through `this`.
This commit stops treating `this` as a reserved word, so that it's
compiled to a lookup in the rendering context, and adds `this` to the
rendering context when binding the component's rendering function. With
these changes, `this` behaves the same as before when outside a
t-call-context, but when the rendering context is overriden, the
template can no longer access `this`. `this` still represents the
instance of the component inside of the rendering function since it's
needed by owl internally.
A side-effect of this change is that now the rendering context is no
longer the instance of the component by default, but is always an object
with the component in its prototype chain. This was already the case
before in some contexts (eg inside t-foreach, or inside components with
a t-set/t-call anywhere in its template). This can cause issues in rare
cases when a component method was called directly on the rendering
context, as before this change, the method's bound this would be the
component instance (except in a t-foreach, component with a
t-set/t-call, etc), while after this change it is now never the
component instance. When the method only reads on `this` there is no
issue as all the components properties are available on the rendering
contexts, but setting a value on `this` will write on the rendering
context and not the component which is likely a mistake.
While this is a breaking change, simply adding a t-set/t-call to any
template would break components that would be broken by this change,
with this in mind we decided to make this change anyway so that
developers get the error as early as possible in the development cycle
rather than having a seemingly inocuous change break code under them.
Previously, when using a component with a slot within a t-call with
t-call-context, the component would become available again inside the
slot despite the t-call-context. This was caused by the fact that the
capture helper function creates an object with the component as its
prototype which is incorrect. It should just use the previous context as
its prototype.
With the introduction of t-call-context, there is now no guarantee that
the ComponentNode can be found in the rendering context, any attempt to
do so can crash when combined with t-call-context. This commit fixes
that by using `this` instead, which in compiled templates refers to the
component that is being rendered.
Currently, if a component has a default slot defined with t-set-slot,
and also content that compiles to something (eg, text or even a comment
node), the content takes priority over the t-set-slot. As t-set-slot is
more explicity, it should have priority.
Before this commit, a crash could occur when a component with no props
is defined in a slot, and that slot is conditionally displayed in
multiple locations.
The reason for that is that the key provided to the callSlot function
was identical, so from the perspective of the component function, it was
not possible to make the difference between a component located in
either places. With this commit, we make sure that a unique key is used
when a slot is reused in a template (or if it is dynamic, because in
that case, we have no idea at compile time if it will be unique or not)
closes#1246
Before this commit, the generated code for the component directive was
using the current context as the place to look for static informations
(such as the sub components). However, it is not entirely correct, since
the current context may be different than the current component (which
is easily accessed by using the this variable).
Also, while doing this, we fix some issues in the t-set directive, which
as calling lazy values with the wrong this.
A little typo was preventing a dynamic t-slot with a scope
(`<t t-slot="{{ state.name }}" myScope="someValue" />`)
to work properly.
This commit corrects this.
Before this commit, a t-set-slot that has no content was not even compiled, and thus not passed
to the component for which it has was defined
After this commit, we allow a t-set-slot to have no content (because it can have slot props)
With this commit, component only render child
components if they have different props (shallow
equality). Otherwise, we trust the reactivity
system to make sure that all impacted components
are updated
This means that unrelated ids (eg the id of a template, variable or key)
not longer share the same incrementing counter, meaning that you no
longer see a variable named "v2" unless another variable "v1" was
generated previously, this is also true for block data.
The slot inner working has been reworked. A prop "slots" is now passed
explicitely to the component. It looks like
{ slotName_1: slotInfo_1, ..., slotName_m: slotInfo_m }
with the objects slotInfo_i with mandatory keys "__render", "__ctx",
and optional key "__scope" and possibly others.
Here is how a slotInfo object can be created:
A slotInfo object is normally created by setting in a template something
like
<div>
<t t-set-slot="foo" t-set-scope="scope" param_1="var" param_2="3">
content
<t t-esc="scope.bool"/>
<t t-esc="scope.num"/>
</t>
</div>
and it will be used somewhere like
<div>
<t t-esc="props.slots.foo.param_1"/>
<t t-slot="foo" bool="other_var" num="5">
</div>
In the above example, the function "__render" produces the block dom
element for the content of the t-set-slot.
The context "__ctx" will have a key "scope" with value { bool: ..., num: 5 }
and "__scope" will be set to "scope".
t-out automatically escaped content when it is a string not marked
with the `markup` function
t-out renders the raw content if it is a Block, or if it has been marked
with the `markup` funtion.
t-esc has been kept since it is safe and is optimized to render text nodes.
all t-raw calls are in fact the same as t-out.
This commit reintroduces some tests for the t-set directive and make
them pass. For that, it was necessary to adapt the qweb compiler in
order to get the following behaviors:
A t-set can affect parent contexts (up to the first parent tagged as
boundary) when the key changed is found in one of the parent contexts.
Some context are marked as boundaries in such a way that
- rendering contexts (e.g. components) cannot be modified via a t-set.
- a t-set in a t-call body or in a called template can never change a
context above the t-call context.
Code prettification has been done.
Snapshots have been modified.
We add some test for the t-on directive.
For making them pass, it was necessary to change the code produced by
compileTForeach: the const declaration is not done by using generateId
and there was some conflict with the variable names produced in
captureExpression. Consequently, many snapshots had to be changed.
Code prettification has been done too.
