 # 🦉 Rendering Pipeline 🦉
 We explain here how Owl is designed, from the perspective of its rendering
 pipeline.
 Warning: these notes are technical by nature, and intended for people working
 on Owl (or interested in understanding its design).
 ## Overview
 A rendering occurs in two phases:
 - virtual rendering: this generates the virtual dom in memory, asynchronously
 - patch: applies a virtual tree to the screen (synchronously)
 There are several classes involved in a rendering:
 - components
 - a scheduler
 - fibers: small objects containing some metadata, associated with a rendering of
  a specific component
 Components are organized in a dynamic component tree, visible in the user
 interface. Whenever a rendering is initiated in a component `C`:
 - a fiber is created on `C` with the rendering props information
 - the virtual rendering phase starts on C (will asynchronously render all the
  child components)
 - the fiber is added to the scheduler, which will poll continuously, every
  animation frame, if the fiber is done
 - once it is done, the scheduler will call the task callback, which will apply
  the patch (if it was not cancelled in the meantime).

 On the flipside, external tooling may make it harder to use in some case, but it

 Note that since Owl is not dependant on any external tool nor libraries, it is
 very easy to integrate into any build toolchain. Also, since we cannot rely on
 additional tools, we made a lot of effort to make the most of the web platform.
 For example, Owl uses the standard `xml` parser that comes with every browser.
 Because of that, Owl did not have to write its own template parser. Another
 example is the [`xml`](reference/tags.md#xml-tag) tag helper function, which makes use of
 native template literals to allow in a natural way to write `xml` templates
 directly in the javascript code. This can be easily integrated with editor
 plugins to have autocompletion inside the template.

 ```
 ## Hooks
 [Hooks](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html#motivation) recently took over
 the React world. They solve a lot of seemingly unconnected problems: attach
 reusable behavior to a component, in a composable way, extract stateful logic
 from a component or reuse stateful logic between component, without changing your
 component hierarchy.
 Here is an example of the React `useState` hook:
 ```js
 import React, { useState } from "react";
 function Example() {
  // Declare a new state variable, which we'll call "count"
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return (
    <div>
      <p>You clicked {count} times</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
    </div>
  );
 }
 ```
 Because of the way React designed the hooks API, they only work for functional
 components. But in that case, they really are powerful. Every major React library
 is in the process of redesigning their API with hooks (for example,
 [Redux](https://react-redux.js.org/next/api/hooks)).
 Vue 2 does not have hooks, but the Vue project is working on its next version,
 which will feature its new [composition API](https://vue-composition-api-rfc.netlify.com/).
 This work is based on the new ideas introduced by React hooks.
 From the way React and Vue introduce their hooks, it may look like hooks are not
 compatible with class components. However, this is not the case, as shown by
 Owl [hooks](reference/hooks.md). They are inspired by both React and Vue. For example,
 the `useState` hook is named after React, but its API is closer to the `reactive`
 Vue hook.
 Here is what the `Counter` example above look like in Owl:
 ```js
 import { Component, Owl } from "owl";
 import { xml } from "owl/tags";
 class Example extends Component {
  static template = xml`
      <div>
        <p>You clicked {count.value} times</p>
        <button t-on-click="increment">Click me</button>
      </div>`;
  count = useState({ value: 0 });
  increment() {
-    this.state.value++;
+    this.env.store.dispatch("increment");
  }
 }
 ```
-Since the Owl framework had hooks from early in its life, its main APIs

 state does nothing more:
-```js
+The main idea is that the `useState` hook generate a proxy version of an object
 class Counter extends Component {
  static template = xml`<div t-on-click="increment"><t t-esc="state.value"/></div>`;
  state = { value: 0 };
  increment() {
    this.state.value++;
  }
 }
 ```
 Clicking on the `Counter` component defined above will call the `increment`
 method, but it will not rerender the component. To fix that, one could add an
 explicit call to `render` in `increment`:
 ```js
    increment() {
        this.state.value++;
        this.render();
    }
 ```
 However, it may be simple in this case, but it quickly become cumbersome, as a
 component get more complex, and its internal state is modified by more than one
 method.
 A better way is to use the reactive system: by using the `useState` hook (see the
 [hooks](hooks.md) section for more details), one can make Owl react to state
 changes. The `useState` hook generates a proxy version of an object
 (this is done by an [observer](observer.md)), which allows the component to
-react to any change. So, the `Counter` example above can be improved like this:
+react to any change.

  state = useState({ value: 0 });
  increment() {
    this.state.value++;
  }
 }
 ```

+- **`unmount()`**: in case a component need to be detached/removed from the DOM, this
  - `last-child` (default value): with this option, the component will be
    appended in the target element,
  - `self`: the target will be used as the root element for the component. This
    means that the target has to be an HTMLElement (and not a document fragment).
    In this situation, it is possible that the component cannot be unmounted. For
    example, if its target is `document.body`.
  Note that if a component is mounted, unmounted and remounted, it will be
  automatically re-rendered to ensure that changes in its state (or something
  in the environment, or in the store, or ...) will be taken into account.
  If a component is mounted inside an element or a fragment which is not in the

 easy to test a component.

 content is not observed, so updates will not be reflected immediately in the

 ```js
 class A extends Component<any, any, any> {

 class B extends Component<any, any, any> {

 ### `t-key` Directive
 Even though Owl tries to be as declarative as possible, some DOM state is still
 locked inside the DOM: for example, the scrolling state, the current user selection,
 the focused element or the state of an input. This is why we use a virtual dom
 algorithm to keep the actual DOM node as much as possible. However, this is
 sometimes not enough, and we need to help Owl decide if an element is actually
 the same, or is different. The `t-key` directive is used to give an identity to an element.
 There are three main use cases:
 - _elements in a list_:
  ```xml
    <span t-foreach="todos" t-as="todo" t-key="todo.id">
        <t t-esc="todo.text" />
    </span>
  ```
 - _`t-if`/`t-else`_
 - _animations_: give a different identity to a component. Ex: thread id with
  animations on add/remove message.
 ### Semantics
 We give here an informal description of the way components are created/updated
 in an application. Here, ordered lists describe actions that are executed
 sequentially, bullet lists describe actions that are executed in parallel.
 **Scenario 1: initial rendering** Imagine we want to render the following component tree:
 ```
        A
       / \
      B   C
         / \
        D   E
 ```
 Here is what happen whenever we mount the root
 component (with some code like `app.mount(document.body)`).
 1. `willStart` is called on `A`
 2. when it is done, template `A` is rendered.
   - component `B` is created
     1. `willStart` is called on `B`
     2. template `B` is rendered
   - component `C` is created
     1. `willStart` is called on `C`
     2. template `C` is rendered
        - component `D` is created
          1. `willStart` is called on `D`
          2. template `D` is rendered
        - component `E` is created
          1. `willStart` is called on `E`
          2. template `E` is rendered
 3. component `A` is patched into a detached DOM element. This will create the actual
   component `A` DOM structure. The patching process will cause recursively the
   patching of the `B`, `C`, `D` and `E` DOM trees. (so the actual full DOM tree is created
   in one pass)
 4. the component `A` root element is actually appended to `document.body`
 5. The method `mounted` is called recursively on all components in the following
   order: `B`, `D`, `E`, `C`, `A`.
 **Scenario 2: rerendering a component**. Now, let's assume that the user clicked on some
 button in `C`, and this results in a state update, which is supposed to:
 - update `D`,
 - remove `E`,
 - add new component `F`.
 So, the component tree should look like this:
 ```
        A
       / \
      B   C
         / \
        D   F
 ```
 Here is what Owl will do:
 1. because of a state change, the method `render` is called on `C`
 2. template `C` is rendered again
   - component `D` is updated:
     1. hook `willUpdateProps` is called on `D` (async)
     2. template `D` is rerendered
   - component `F` is created:
     1. hook `willStart` is called on `E` (async)
     2. template `F` is rendered
 3. `willPatch` hooks are called recursively on components `C`, `D` (not on `F`,
   because it is not mounted yet)
 4. component `C` is patched, which will cause recursively:
   2. `willUnmount` hook on `E`, then destruction of `E`,
   3. (initial) patching of `F`, then hook `mounted` is called on `F`
 5. patching of `D`
 6. `patched` hooks are called on `D`, `C`
 ### Props Validation
 As an application becomes complex, it may be quite unsafe to define props in an informal way. This leads to two issues:
 - hard to tell how a component should be used, by looking at its code.
 - unsafe, it is easy to send wrong props into a component, either by refactoring a component, or one of its parent.
 A props type system would solve both issues, by describing the types and shapes
 of the props. Here is how it works in Owl:
 - `props` key is a static key (so, different from `this.props` in a component instance)
 - it is optional: it is ok for a component to not define a `props` key.
 - props are validated whenever a component is created/updated
 - props are only validated in `dev` mode (see [tooling page](tooling.md#development-mode))
 - if a key does not match the description, an error is thrown
 - it validates keys defined in (static) `props`. Additional keys given by the
  parent will cause an error.
 For example:
 ```js
 class ComponentA extends owl.Component {
    static props = ['id', 'url'];
    ...
 }
 class ComponentB extends owl.Component {
  static props = {
    count: {type: Number},
    messages: {
      type: Array,
      element: {type: Object, shape: {id: Boolean, text: 'string' }
    },
   date: Date,
   combinedVal: [Number, Boolean]
  };
  ...
 }
 ```
 - it is an object or a list of strings
 - a list of strings is a simplified props definition, which only lists the name
  of the props. Also, if the name ends with `?`, it is considered optional.
 - all props are by default required, unless they are defined with `optional: true`
  (in that case, validation is only done if there is a value)
 - valid types are: `Number, String, Boolean, Object, Array, Date, Function`, and all
  constructor functions (so, if you have a `Person` class, it can be used as a type)
 - arrays are homogeneous (all elements have the same type/shape)
 For each key, a `prop` definition is either a boolean, a constructor, a list of constructors, or an object:
 - a boolean: indicate that the props exists, and is mandatory.
 - a constructor: this should describe the type, for example: `id: Number` describe
  the props `id` as a number
 - a list of constructors. In that case, this means that we allow more than one
  type. For example, `id: [Number, String]` means that `id` can be either a string
  or a number.
 - an object. This makes it possible to have more expressive definition. The following sub keys are then allowed:
  - `type`: the main type of the prop being validated
  - `element`: if the type was `Array`, then the `element` key describes the type of each element in the array. It is optional (not set means that we only validate the array, not its elements),
  - `shape`: if the type was `Object`, then the `shape` key describes the interface of the object. It is optional (not set means that we only validate the object, not its elements)
 Examples:
 ```js
  // only the existence of those 3 keys is documented
  static props = ['message', 'id', 'date'];
 ```
 ```js
  // size is optional
  static props = ['message', 'size?'];
 ```
 ```js
  static props = {
    messageIds: {type: Array, element: Number},  // list of number
    otherArr: {type: Array},   // just array. no validation is made on sub elements
    otherArr2: Array,   // same as otherArr
    someObj: {type: Object},  // just an object, no internal validation
    someObj2: {
      type: Object,
      shape: {
        id: Number,
        name: {type: String, optional: true},
        url: String
      ]},    // object, with keys id (number), name (string, optional) and url (string)
    someFlag: Boolean,     // a boolean, mandatory (even if `false`)
    someVal: [Boolean, Date],   // either a boolean or a date
    otherValue: true,     // indicates that it is a prop

-the `t-component` directive can also be used to accept dynamic values with string interpolation (like the [`t-attf-`](qweb_templating_language.md#dynamic-attributes) directive):
+
 1. Minimize the use of asynchronous components!
 2. Maybe move the asynchronous logic in a store, which then triggers (mostly)
   synchronous renderings
 3. Lazy loading external libraries is a good use case for async rendering. This
   is mostly fine, because we can assume that it will only takes a fraction of a
   second, and only once (see `owl.utils.loadJS`)
 4. For all the other cases, the `t-asyncroot` directive (to use alongside
   `t-component`) is there to help you. When this directive is met, a new rendering
   sub tree is created, such that the rendering of that component (and its
   children) is not tied to the rendering of the rest of the interface. It can
   be used on an asynchronous component, to prevent it from delaying the
   rendering of the whole interface, or on a synchronous one, such that its
   rendering isn't delayed by other (asynchronous) components. Note that this
   directive has no effect on the first rendering, but only on subsequent ones
   (triggered by state or props changes).
   ```xml
   <div t-name="ParentComponent">
-    <t t-component="ChildComponent{{id}}" />
+     <SyncChild />
     <AsyncChild t-asyncroot="1"/>
   </div>
   ```
 ```js
 class ParentComponent {
  static components = { ChildComponent1, ChildComponent2 };
  state = { id: 1 };
 }
 ```
 There is an even more dynamic way to use `t-component`: its value can be an
 expression evaluating to an actual component class. In that case, this is the
 class that will be used to create the component:
 ```js
 class A extends Component<any, any, any> {
  static template = xml`<span>child a</span>`;
 }
 class B extends Component<any, any, any> {
  static template = xml`<span>child b</span>`;
 }
 class App extends Component<any, any, any> {
  static template = xml`<t t-component="myComponent" t-key="state.child"/>`;
  state = { child: "a" };
  get myComponent() {
    return this.state.child === "a" ? A : B;
  }
 }
 ```
 In this example, the component `App` selects dynamically the concrete sub
 component class.
 Note that the `t-component` directive can only be used on `<t>` nodes.

 ## Overview
 Hooks were popularised by React as a way to solve the following issues:
 - help reusing stateful logic between components
 - help organizing code by feature in complex components
 - use state in functional components, without writing a class.
 Owl hooks serve the same purpose, except that they work for class components
 (note: React hooks do not work on class components, and maybe because of that,
 there seems to be the misconception that hooks are in opposition to class. This
 is clearly not true, as shown by Owl hooks).
 Hooks works beautifully with Owl components: they solve the problems mentioned
 above, and in particular, they are the perfect way to make your component
 reactive.
 ## Example: mouse position
 Here is the classical example of a non trivial hook to track the mouse position.

 const { useState, onMounted, onWillUnmount } = owl.hooks;
 // We define here a custom behaviour: this hook tracks the state of the mouse
 // position
 function useMouse() {
  const position = useState({ x: 0, y: 0 });
  function update(e) {
    position.x = e.clientX;
    position.y = e.clientY;
  }
  onMounted(() => {
    window.addEventListener("mousemove", update);
  });
  onWillUnmount(() => {
    window.removeEventListener("mousemove", update);
  });
  return position;
 }
 // Main root component
 class App extends owl.Component {
  static template = xml`
    <div t-name="App">
      <div>Mouse: <t t-esc="mouse.x"/>, <t t-esc="mouse.y"/></div>
    </div>`;
  // this hooks is bound to the 'mouse' property.
  mouse = useMouse();
 }
 ```
 Note that we use the prefix `use` for hooks, just like in React. This is just
 a convention.
 ## Example: autofocus
 Hooks can be combined to create the desired effect. For example, the following
 hook combines the `useRef` hook with the `onPatched` and `onMounted` functions
 to create an easy way to focus an input whenever it appears in the DOM:
 ```js
 function useAutofocus(name) {
  let ref = useRef(name);
  let isInDom = false;
  function updateFocus() {
    if (!isInDom && ref.el) {
      isInDom = true;
      ref.el.focus();
    } else if (isInDom && !ref.el) {
      isInDom = false;
    }
  }
  onPatched(updateFocus);
  onMounted(updateFocus);
 }
 ```
 This hook takes the name of a valid `t-ref` directive, which should be present
 in the template. It then checks whenever the component is mounted or patched if
 the reference is not valid, and in this case, it will focus the node element.
 This hook can be used like this:
 ```js
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  static template = xml`
    <div>
        <input />
        <input t-ref="myinput"/>
    </div>`;
  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);
    useAutofocus("myinput");
  }
 }
 ```
 ## Reference
 ### One rule
 There is only one rule: every hook for a component have to be called in the
 constructor (or in class fields):
 ```js
 // ok
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  state = useState({ value: 0 });
 }
 // also ok
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);
    this.state = useState({ value: 0 });
  }
 }
 // not ok: this is executed after the constructor is called
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  async willStart() {
    this.state = useState({ value: 0 });
  }
 }
 ```
 ### `useState`
 The `useState` hook is certainly the most important hooks for Owl components:
 this is what enables component to be reactive, to react to state change.
 The `useState` hook has to be given an object or an array, and will return
 an observed version of it (using a `Proxy`).
 ```javascript
 const { useState } = owl.hooks;
 class Counter extends owl.Component {
  static template = xml`
    <button t-on-click="increment">
        Click Me! [<t t-esc="state.value"/>]
    </button>`;
  state = useState({ value: 0 });
  increment() {
    this.state.value++;
  }
 }
 ```
 ### `onMounted`
 `onMounted` is not an user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
 abstractions. `onMounted` registers a callback, which will be called when the component
 is mounted (see example on top of this page).
 ### `onWillUnmount`
 `onWillUnmount` is not an user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
 abstractions. `onWillUnmount` registers a callback, which will be called when the component
 is unmounted (see example on top of this page).
 ### `onWillPatch`
 `onWillPatch` is not an user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
 abstractions. `onWillPatch` registers a callback, which will be called just
 before the component patched.
 ### `onPatched`
 `onPatched` is not an user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
 abstractions. `onPatched` registers a callback, which will be called just
 after the component patched.
 ### `useRef`
 The `useRef` hook is useful when we need a way to interact with some inside part
 of a component, rendered by Owl. It can work either on a DOM node, or on a component,
 tagged by the `t-ref` directive:
 ```xml
 <div>
    <div t-ref="someDiv"/>
    <SubComponent t-ref="someComponent"/>
 </div>
 ```
 In this example, the component will be able to access the `div` and the component
 `SubComponent` using the `useRef` hook:
 ```js
 class Parent extends Component {
  subRef = useRef("someComponent");
  divRef = useRef("someDiv");
  someMethod() {
    // here, if component is mounted, refs are active:
    // - this.divRef.el is the div HTMLElement
    // - this.subRef.comp is the instance of the sub component
  }
 }
 ```
 As shown by the example above, html elements are accessed by using the `el`
 key, and components references are accessed with `comp`.
 Note: if used on a component, the reference will be set in the `refs`
 variable between `willPatch` and `patched`.
 The `t-ref` directive also accepts dynamic values with string interpolation
 (like the [`t-attf-`](qweb.md#dynamic-attributes) and
 `t-component` directives). For example,
 ```xml
 <div t-ref="component_{{someCondition ? '1' : '2'}}"/>
 ```
 Here, the references needs to be set like this:
 ```js
 this.ref1 = useRef("component_1");
 this.ref2 = useRef("component_2");
 ```
 References are only guaranteed to be active while the parent component is mounted.
 If this is not the case, accessing `el` or `comp` on it will return `null`.
 ### `useSubEnv`
 The environment is sometimes useful to share some common information between
 all components.  But sometimes, we want to *scope* that knowledge to a subtree.
 For example, if we have a form view component, maybe we would like to make some
 `model` object available to all sub component, but not to the whole application.
 This is where the `useSubEnv` hook may be useful: it let a component add some
 information to the environment in a way that only the component and its children
 can access it:
 ```js
 class FormComponent extends Component {
  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);
    const model = makeModel();
    useSubEnv({ model });
  }
 }
 ```
 The `useSubEnv` takes one argument: an object which contains some key/value that
 will be added to the parent environment. Note that it will extend, not replace
 the parent environment.  And of course, the parent environment will not be
 affected.

 # 🦉 Testing Owl components 🦉
 ## Content
 - [Overview](#overview)
 - [Unit Tests](#unit-tests)
 ## Overview
 It is a good practice to test applications and components to ensure that they
 behave as expected. There are many ways to test a user interface: manual
 testing, integration testing, unit testing, ...
 In this section, we will discuss how to write unit tests for components, and
 how to debug them if necessary.
 ## Unit Tests
 Writing unit tests for Owl components really depends on the testing framework
 used in a project. But usually, it involves the following steps:
 - create a test file: for example `SomeComponent.test.js`,
 - in that file, import the code for `SomeComponent`,
 - add a test case:
  - create a real DOM element to use as test fixture,
  - create a test environment
  - create an instance of `SomeComponent`, mount it to the fixture
  - interact with the component and assert some properties.
 To help with this, it is useful to have a `helper.js` file that contains some
 common utility functions:
 ```js
 export function makeTestFixture() {
  let fixture = document.createElement("div");
  document.body.appendChild(fixture);
  return fixture;
 }
 export function nextTick() {
  let requestAnimationFrame = owl.Component.scheduler.requestAnimationFrame;
  return new Promise(function(resolve) {
    setTimeout(() => requestAnimationFrame(() => resolve()));
  });
 }
 export function makeTestEnv() {
    // application specific. It needs a way to load actual templates
    const templates = ...;
    return {
        qweb: new QWeb(templates),
        ..., // each service can be mocked here
    };
 }
 ```
 With such a file, a typical test suite for Jest will look like this:
 ```js
 // in SomeComponent.test.js
 import { SomeComponent } from "../../src/ui/SomeComponent";
 import { nextTick, makeTestFixture, makeTestEnv} from '../helpers';
 //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 // Setup
 //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 let fixture: HTMLElement;
 let env: Env;
 beforeEach(() => {
  fixture = makeTestFixture();
  env = makeTestEnv();
  // we set here the default environment for each component created in the test
  Component.env = env;
 });
 afterEach(() => {
  fixture.remove();
 });
 //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 // Tests
 //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 describe("SomeComponent", () => {
  test("component behaves as expected", async () => {
    const props = {...}; // depends on the component
    const comp = new SomeComponent(null, props);
    await comp.mount(fixture);
    // do some assertions
    expect(...).toBe(...);
    fixture.querySelector('button').click();
    await nextTick();
    // some other assertions
    expect(...).toBe(...);
  });
 });
 ```
 Note that Owl does wait for the next animation frame to actually update the DOM.
 This is why it is necessary to wait with the `nextTick` (or other methods) to
 make sure that the DOM is up-to-date.
 It is sometimes useful to wait until Owl is completely done updating components
 (in particular, if we have a highly concurrent user interface). This next
 helper simply polls every 20ms the internal Owl task queue and returns a promise
 which resolves when it is empty:
 ```js
 function afterUpdates() {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    let timer = setTimeout(poll, 20);
    let counter = 0;
    function poll() {
      counter++;
      if (owl.Component.scheduler.tasks.length) {
        if (counter > 10) {
          reject(new Error("timeout"));
        } else {
          timer = setTimeout(poll);
        }
      } else {
        resolve();
      }
    }
  });
 }
 ```

 # 🦉 Observer 🦉
 Owl need to be able to react to state changes. For example, whenever the state
 of a component is changed, we need to rerender it. To help with that, we have
 an Observer class. Its job is to observe some object state, and react to any
 change. To do that, it recursively replace all keys of the observed state by
 getters and setters.
 For example, this code will display `update` in the console:
 ```javascript
 const observer = new owl.Observer();
 observer.notifyCB = () => console.log("update");
 const obj = observer.observe({ a: { b: 1 } });
 obj.a.b = 2;
 ```
 The observer is implemented with the native `Proxy` object. Note that this
 means that it will not work on older browsers.

 mostly to generate HTML. In OWL, QWeb templates are compiled into functions that
 generate a virtual dom representation of the HTML.
 Template directives are specified as XML attributes prefixed with `t-`, for instance `t-if` for conditionals, with elements and other attributes being rendered directly.
 To avoid element rendering, a placeholder element `<t>` is also available, which executes its directive but doesn’t generate any output in and of itself.

 ## QWeb Engine
 This section is about the javascript code that implements the `QWeb` specification.
 Owl exports a `QWeb` class in `owl.QWeb`. To use it, it just needs to be
 instantiated:
 ```js
 const qweb = new owl.QWeb();
 ```
 It's API is quite simple:
 - **`constructor(data)`**: constructor. Takes an optional string to add initial
  templates (see `addTemplates` for more information on format of the string).
  ```js
  const qweb = new owl.QWeb(TEMPLATES);
  ```
 - **`addTemplate(name, xmlStr, allowDuplicate)`**: add a specific template.
  ```js
  qweb.addTemplate("mytemplate", "<div>hello</div>");
  ```
  If the optional `allowDuplicate` is set to `true`, then `QWeb` will simply return whenever a template is added for a second time. Otherwise, `QWeb` will crash.
 - **`addTemplates(xmlStr)`**: add a list of templates (identified by `t-name`
  attribute).
  ```js
  const TEMPLATES = `
    <templates>
      <div t-name="App" class="main">main</div>
      <div t-name="OtherComponent">other component</div>
    </templates>`;
  qweb.addTemplates(TEMPLATES);
  ```
 - **`render(name, context, extra)`**: renders a template. This returns a `vnode`,
  which is a virtual representation of the DOM (see [vdom doc](vdom.md)).
  ```js
  const vnode = qweb.render("App", component);
  ```
 - **`renderToString(name, context)`**: renders a template, but returns an html
  string.
  ```js
  const str = qweb.renderToString("someTemplate", somecontext);
  ```
 - **`registerTemplate(name, template)`**: static function to register an global
  QWeb template. This is useful for commonly used components accross the
  application, and for making a template available to an application without
  having a reference to the actual QWeb instance.
  ```js
  QWeb.registerTemplate("mytemplate", `<div>some template`);
  ```
 - **`registerComponent(name, Component)`**: static function to register an OWL Component
  to QWeb's global registry. Globally registered Components can be used in
  templates (see the `t-component` directive). This is useful for commonly used
  components accross the application.
  ```js
  class Dialog extends owl.Component { ... }
  QWeb.registerComponent("Dialog", Dialog);
  ...
  class ParentComponent extends owl.Component { ... }
  qweb.addTemplate("ParentComponent", "<div><Dialog/></div>");
  ```
 In some way, a `QWeb` instance is the core of an Owl application. It is the only
 mandatory element of an [environment](component.md#environment). As such, it
 has an extra responsability: it can act as an event bus for internal communication
 between Owl classes. This is the reason why `QWeb` actually extends [EventBus](event_bus.md).
 ## Reference
 We define in this section the specification of how `QWeb` templates should be
 rendered. Note that we only document here the standard QWeb specification. Owl
 specific extensions are documented in various other parts of the documentation.

 Even though Owl tries to be as declarative as possible, the DOM does not fully
 expose its state declaratively in the DOM tree. For example, the scrolling state,
 the current user selection, the focused element or the state of an input are not
 set as attribute in the DOM tree. This is why we use a virtual dom
 algorithm to keep the actual DOM node as much as possible.
 However, in some situations, this is not enough, and we need to help Owl decide
 if an element is actually the same, or is a different element with the same
 properties.
 Consider the following situation: we have a list of two items `[{text: "a"}, {text: "b"}]`
 and we render them in this template:
 ```xml
 <p t-foreach="items" t-as="item"><t t-esc="item.text"/></p>
 ```
 The result will be two `<p>` tags with text `a` and `b`. Now, if we swap them,
 and rerender the template, Owl needs to know what the intent is:
 - should Owl actually swap the DOM nodes,
 - or should it keep the DOM nodes, but with an updated text content?
 This might look trivial, but it actually matters. These two possibilities lead
 to different results in some cases. For example, if the user selected the text
 of the first `p`, swapping them will keep the selection while updating the
 text content will not.
 There are many other cases where this is important: `input` tags with their
 value, css classes and animations, scroll position...
 So, the `t-key` directive is used to give an identity to an element. It allows
 Owl to understand if different elements of a list are actually different or not.
 The above example could be modified by adding an ID: `[{id: 1, text: "a"}, {id: 2, text: "b"}]`.
 Then, the template could look like this:
 ```xml
 <p t-foreach="items" t-as="item" t-key="item.id"><t t-esc="item.text"/></p>
 ```
 The `t-key` directive is useful for lists (`t-foreach`). A key should be
 a unique number or string (objects will not work: they will be cast to the
 `"[object Object]"` string, which is obviously not unique).
 Also, the key can be set on a `t` tag or on its children. The following variations
 are all equivalent:
 ```xml
 <p t-foreach="items" t-as="item" t-key="item.id">
  <t t-esc="item.text"/>
 </p>
 <t t-foreach="items" t-as="item" t-key="item.id">
  <p t-esc="item.text"/>
 </t>
 <t t-foreach="items" t-as="item">
  <p t-key="item.id" t-esc="item.text"/>
 </t>
 ```
 If there is no `t-key` directive, Owl will use the index as a default key.

 ## Content

 - [Asynchronous Rendering](#asynchronous-rendering)
 ## Overview
 Owl was designed from the very beginning with asynchronous components. This comes
 from the `willStart` and the `willUpdateProps` lifecycle hooks. With these
 methods, it is possible to build complex highly concurrent applications.
 Owl concurrent mode has several benefits: it makes it possible to delay the
 rendering until some asynchronous operation is complete, it makes it possible
 to lazy load libraries, while keeping the previous screen completely functional.
 It is also good for performance reasons: Owl uses it to only apply the result of
 many different renderings only once in an animation frame. Owl can cancel
 a rendering that is no longer relevant, restart it, reuse it in some cases.
 But even though using concurrency is quite simple (and is the default behaviour),
 asynchrony is difficult, because it introduces an additional dimension that
 vastly increase the complexity of an application. This section will explain
 how Owl manages this complexity, how concuurent rendering works in a general way.
 ## Rendering Components
 The word _rendering_ is a little vague, so, let us explain more precisely the
 process by which Owl components are displayed on a screen.
 When a component is mounted or updated, a new rendering is started. It has
 two phases: _virtual rendering_ and _patching_.
 ### Virtual rendering
 This phase represent the process of rendering a template, in memory, which create a virtual representation of the desired component html). The output of this phase is a
 virtual DOM.
 It is asynchronous: each subcomponents needs to either be created (so, `willStart`
 will need to be called), or updated (which is done with the `willUpdateProps`
 method). This is completely a recursive process: a component is the root of a
 component tree, and each sub component needs to be (virtually) rendered.
 ### Patching
 Once a rendering is complete, it will be applied on the next animation frame.
 This is done synchronously: the whole component tree is patched to the real
 DOM.
 ## Semantics
 We give here an informal description of the way components are created/updated
 in an application. Here, ordered lists describe actions that are executed
 sequentially, bullet lists describe actions that are executed in parallel.
 **Scenario 1: initial rendering** Imagine we want to render the following component tree:
 ```
        A
       / \
      B   C
         / \
        D   E
 ```
 Here is what happen whenever we mount the root
 component (with some code like `app.mount(document.body)`).
 1. `willStart` is called on `A`
 2. when it is done, template `A` is rendered.
   - component `B` is created
     1. `willStart` is called on `B`
     2. template `B` is rendered
   - component `C` is created
     1. `willStart` is called on `C`
     2. template `C` is rendered
        - component `D` is created
          1. `willStart` is called on `D`
          2. template `D` is rendered
        - component `E` is created
          1. `willStart` is called on `E`
          2. template `E` is rendered
 3. each components are patched into a detached DOM element, in the following order:
   `E`, `D`, `C`, `B`, `A`. (so the actual full DOM tree is created
   in one pass)
 4. the component `A` root element is actually appended to `document.body`
 5. The method `mounted` is called recursively on all components in the following
   order: `E`, `D`, `C`, `B`, `A`.
 **Scenario 2: rerendering a component**. Now, let's assume that the user clicked on some
 button in `C`, and this results in a state update, which is supposed to:
 - update `D`,
 - remove `E`,
 - add new component `F`.
 So, the component tree should look like this:
 ```
        A
       / \
      B   C
         / \
        D   F
 ```
 Here is what Owl will do:
 1. because of a state change, the method `render` is called on `C`
 2. template `C` is rendered again
   - component `D` is updated:
     1. hook `willUpdateProps` is called on `D` (async)
     2. template `D` is rerendered
   - component `F` is created:
     1. hook `willStart` is called on `E` (async)
     2. template `F` is rendered
 3. `willPatch` hooks are called recursively on components `C`, `D` (not on `F`,
   because it is not mounted yet)
 4. components `F`, `D` are patched in that order
 5. component `C` is patched, which will cause recursively:
   1. `willUnmount` hook on `E`
   2. destruction of `E`,
 6. `mounted` hook is called on `F`, `patched` hooks are called on `D`, `C`
 Tags are very small helpers to make it easy to write inline templates. There is
 only one currently available tag: `xml`, but we plan to add other tags later,
 such as a `css` tag, which will be used to write [single file components](../tooling.md#single-file-component).
 ### Asynchronous Rendering
 Working with asynchronous code always adds a lot of complexity to a system. Whenever
 different parts of a system are active at the same time, one needs to think
 carefully about all possible interactions. Clearly, this is also true for Owl
 components.
 There are two different common problems with Owl asynchronous rendering model:
 - any component can delay the rendering (initial and subsequent) of the whole
  application
 - for a given component, there are two independant situations that will trigger an
  asynchronous rerendering: a change in the state, or a change in the props.
  These changes may be done at different times, and Owl has no way of knowing
  how to reconcile the resulting renderings.
 Here are a few tips on how to work with asynchronous components:
 1. Minimize the use of asynchronous components!
 2. Maybe move the asynchronous logic in a store, which then triggers (mostly)
   synchronous renderings
 3. Lazy loading external libraries is a good use case for async rendering. This
   is mostly fine, because we can assume that it will only takes a fraction of a
   second, and only once (see [`owl.utils.loadJS`](utils.md#loadjs))
 4. For all the other cases, the [`AsyncRoot`](misc.md#asyncroot) component is there to help you. When
   this component is met, a new rendering
   sub tree is created, such that the rendering of that component (and its
   children) is not tied to the rendering of the rest of the interface. It can
   be used on an asynchronous component, to prevent it from delaying the
   rendering of the whole interface, or on a synchronous one, such that its
   rendering isn't delayed by other (asynchronous) components. Note that this
   directive has no effect on the first rendering, but only on subsequent ones
   (triggered by state or props changes).

   <div t-name="ParentComponent">
     <SyncChild />
     <AsyncRoot>
        <AsyncChild/>
     </AsyncRoot>

 # 🦉 Config 🦉
 The Owl framework is designed to work in many situations. However, it is
 sometimes necessary to customize some behaviour. This is done by using the
 global `config` object. It currently has one key:
 - [`mode`](#mode).
 ## Mode
 By default, Owl is in _production_ mode, this means that it will try to do its
 job fast, and skip some expensive operations. However, it is sometimes necessary
 to have better information on what is going on, this is the purpose
 of the `dev` mode.
 Owl has a mode flag, in `owl.config.mode`. Its default value is `prod`, but
 it can be set to `dev`:
 ```js
 owl.config.mode = "dev";
 ```
 Note that templates compiled with the `prod` settings will not be recompiled.
 So, changing this setting is best done at startup.
 An important job done by the `dev` mode is to validate props for each component
 creation and update. Also, extra props will cause an error.

 # 🦉 Context 🦉
 ## Content

 - [Example](#example)
 - [Reference](#reference)
  - [`Context`](#context)
  - [`useContext`](#usecontext)
 ## Overview
 The `Context` object provides a way to share data between an arbitrary number
 of components. Usually, data is passed from a parent to its children component,
 but when we have to deal with some mostly global information, this can be
 annoying, since each component will need to pass the information to each children,
 even though some or most of them will not use the information.
 With a `Context` object, each component can subscribe (with the `useContext` hook)
 to its state, and will be updated whenever the context state is updated.
 ## Example
 Assume that we have an application with various components which needs to render
 differently depending on the size of the device. Here is how we could proceed
 to make sure that the information is properly shared. First, let us create a
 context, and add it to the environment:
 ```js
 const deviceContext = new Context({ isMobile: true });
 App.env.deviceContext = deviceContext;
 ```
 If we want to make it completely responsive, we need to update its value whenever
 the size of the screen is updated:
 ```js
 const isMobile = () => window.innerWidth <= 768;
 window.addEventListener(
  "resize",
  owl.utils.debounce(() => {
    const state = deviceContext.state;
    if (state.isMobile !== isMobile()) {
      state.isMobile = !state.isMobile;
    }
  }, 15)
 );
 ```
 Then, each component that want can subscribe and render differently depending on the
 fact that we are in a mobile or desktop mode.
 ```js
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  static template = xml`
    <div>
      <t t-if=device.isMobile>
          some simplified user interface
      </t>
      <t t-else="1">
          a more advanced user interface
      </t>
    </div>`;
  device = useContext(this.env.deviceContext);
 }
 ```
 ## Reference
 ### `Context`
 A `Context` object should be created with a state object:
 ```js
 const someContext = new Context({ some: "key" });
 ```
 Its state is now available in the `state` key:
 ```js
 someContext.state.some = "other key";
 ```
 This is the way some global code (such as the responsive code above) should
 read and update the context state. However, components should not ever read the
 context state directly from the context, they should instead use the `useContext`
 hook to properly register themselves to state changes.
 Note that the `Context` hook is different from the React version. For example,
 there is no concept of provider/consumer. So, the `Context` feature does not
 by itself allow the use of a different context state depending on the component
 place in the component tree. However, this functionality can be obtained, if
 necessary, with the use of sub environment.
 ### `useContext`
 The `useContext` hook is the normal way for a component to register themselve
 to context state changes. The `useContext` method returns the context state:
 ```js
 device = useContext(this.env.deviceContext);
 ```
 It is a simple observed state (with an owl `Observer`), which contains the shared
 information.

 # 🦉 Environment 🦉

 - [Overview](#overview)
 - [Setting an Environment](#setting-an-environment)
 - [Using a sub environment](#using-a-sub-environment)
 - [Content of an Environment](#content-of-an-environment)
 ## Overview
 An environment is an object which contains a [`QWeb` instance](qweb_engine.md). Whenever
 a root component is created, it is assigned an environment (see
 [below](#setting-an-environment) for more info on this). This environment is
 then automatically given to each sub component (and accessible in the `this.env`
 property).
 ```
    Root
    /  \
   A    B
 ```
 This way, all components share the same `QWeb` instance. Owl internally requires
 that the environment has a `qweb` key which maps to a
 [`QWeb`](qweb_engine.md) instance. This is the QWeb instance that will be used to
 render each templates in this specific component tree. Note that if no `QWeb`
 instance is provided, Owl will simply generate it on the fly.
 The environment is mostly static. Each application is free to add anything to
 the environment, which is very useful, since this can be accessed by each sub
 component.
 ## Setting an environment
 An Owl application needs an [environment](environment.md) to be executed. The
 environment has an important key: the [QWeb](qweb_engine.md) instance, which will render
 all templates.
 Whenever a root component `App` is mounted, Owl will setup a valid environment by
 following the next steps:
 - take the `env` object defined on `App.env` (if no `env` was explicitely setup,
  this will be return the empty `env` object defined on `Component`)
 - if `env.qweb` is not set, then Owl will create a `QWeb` instance.
 The correct way to customize an environment is to simply set it up on the root
 component class, before the first component is created:
 ```js
 App.env = {
    _t: myTranslateFunction,
    user: {...},
    services: {
        ...
    },
 };
 const app = new App();
 app.mount(document.body);
 ```
 It is also possible to simply share an environment between all root components,
 by simply doing this:
 ```js
 Component.env = myEnv; // will be the default env for all components
 ```
 Note that this environment is the global owl environment for an application. The
 next section explains how to extend an environment for a specific sub component
 and its children.
 ## Using a sub environment
 It is sometimes useful to add one (or more) specific keys to the environment,
 from the perspective of a specific component and its children. In that case, the
 solution presented above will not work, since it sets the global environment.
 There is a hook for this situation: [`useSubEnv`](hooks.md#usesubenv).
 ```js
 class FormComponent extends Component {
  constructor(parent, props) {
    super(parent, props);
    useSubEnv({ myKey: someValue });
  }
 }
 ```
 ## Content of an Environment
 Some good use cases for additional keys in the environment are:
 - some configuration keys,
 - session information,
 - generic services (such as doing rpcs, or accessing local storage).
 Doing it this way means that components are easily testable: we can simply
 create a test environment with mock services.
 For example:
 ```js
 async function myEnv() {
  const templates = await loadTemplates();
  const qweb = new QWeb({ templates });
  const session = getSession();
  return {
    _t: myTranslateFunction,
    session: session,
    qweb: qweb,
    services: {
      localStorage: localStorage,
      rpc: rpc
    },
    debug: false,
    inMobileMode: true
  };
 }
 async function start() {
  App.env = await myEnv();
  const app = new App();
  await app.mount(document.body);
 }

 ## Overview
 Hooks were popularised by React as a way to solve the following issues:
 - help reusing stateful logic between components
 - help organizing code by feature in complex components
 - use state in functional components, without writing a class.
 Owl hooks serve the same purpose, except that they work for class components
 (note: React hooks do not work on class components, and maybe because of that,
 there seems to be the misconception that hooks are in opposition to class. This
 is clearly not true, as shown by Owl hooks).
 Hooks work beautifully with Owl components: they solve the problems mentioned
 above, and in particular, they are the perfect way to make your component
 reactive.
 ## Example: mouse position
 Here is the classical example of a non trivial hook to track the mouse position.
 ```js
 const { useState, onMounted, onWillUnmount } = owl.hooks;
 // We define here a custom behaviour: this hook tracks the state of the mouse
 // position
 function useMouse() {
  const position = useState({ x: 0, y: 0 });
  function update(e) {
    position.x = e.clientX;
    position.y = e.clientY;
  }
  onMounted(() => {
    window.addEventListener("mousemove", update);
  });
  onWillUnmount(() => {
    window.removeEventListener("mousemove", update);
  });
  return position;
 }
 // Main root component
 class App extends owl.Component {
  static template = xml`
    <div t-name="App">
      <div>Mouse: <t t-esc="mouse.x"/>, <t t-esc="mouse.y"/></div>
    </div>`;
  // this hooks is bound to the 'mouse' property.
  mouse = useMouse();
 }
 ```
 Note that we use the prefix `use` for hooks, just like in React. This is just
 a convention.
 ## Example: autofocus
 Hooks can be combined to create the desired effect. For example, the following
 hook combines the `useRef` hook with the `onPatched` and `onMounted` functions
 to create an easy way to focus an input whenever it appears in the DOM:
 ```js
 function useAutofocus(name) {
  let ref = useRef(name);
  let isInDom = false;
  function updateFocus() {
    if (!isInDom && ref.el) {
      isInDom = true;
      ref.el.focus();
    } else if (isInDom && !ref.el) {
      isInDom = false;
    }
  }
  onPatched(updateFocus);
  onMounted(updateFocus);
 }
 ```
 This hook takes the name of a valid `t-ref` directive, which should be present
 in the template. It then checks whenever the component is mounted or patched if
 the reference is not valid, and in this case, it will focus the node element.
 This hook can be used like this:
 ```js
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  static template = xml`
    <div>
        <input />
        <input t-ref="myinput"/>
    </div>`;
  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);
    useAutofocus("myinput");
  }
 }
 ```
 ## Reference
 ### One rule
 There is only one rule: every hook for a component has to be called in the
 constructor (or in class fields):
 ```js
 // ok
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  state = useState({ value: 0 });
 }
 // also ok
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);
    this.state = useState({ value: 0 });
  }
 }
 // not ok: this is executed after the constructor is called
 class SomeComponent extends Component {
  async willStart() {
    this.state = useState({ value: 0 });
  }
 }
 ```
 As you can see, the `useState` hook does not need to be given a reference to
 the component. This is possible because there is a way to get a reference to the
 current component: the `Component.current` static property is the reference to the
 component instance that is currently being created.
 Hooks need to be called in the constructor to ensure that this reference is
 properly set. This is also a good thing for performance reasons (Owl can use
 this to optimize its implementation), and for a clean architecture (this makes
 it easier for developers to understand what is really happening in a component).
 ### `useState`
 The `useState` hook is certainly the most important hook for Owl components:
 this is what allows a component to be reactive, to react to state change.
 The `useState` hook has to be given an object or an array, and will return
 an observed version of it (using a `Proxy`).
 ```javascript
 const { useState } = owl.hooks;
 class Counter extends owl.Component {
  static template = xml`
    <button t-on-click="increment">
        Click Me! [<t t-esc="state.value"/>]
    </button>`;
  state = useState({ value: 0 });
  increment() {
    this.state.value++;
  }
 }
 ```
 It is important to remember that `useState` only works with objects or arrays. It
 is necessary, since Owl needs to react to a change in state.
 ### `onMounted`
 `onMounted` is not a user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
 abstractions. `onMounted` registers a callback, which will be called when the component
 is mounted (see example on top of this page).
 ### `onWillUnmount`
 `onWillUnmount` is not a user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
 abstractions. `onWillUnmount` registers a callback, which will be called when the component
 is unmounted (see example on top of this page).
 ### `onWillPatch`
 `onWillPatch` is not a user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
 abstractions. `onWillPatch` registers a callback, which will be called just
 before the component patched.
 ### `onPatched`
 `onPatched` is not a user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
 abstractions. `onPatched` registers a callback, which will be called just
 after the component patched.
 ### `onWillStart`
 `onWillStart` is an asynchronous hook. This means that the function registered
 in the hook will be run just before the component is first rendered and can return a
 promise, to express the fact that it is an asynchronous operation.
 Note that if there are more than one `onWillStart` registered callback, then they
 will all be run in parallel.
 It can be used to load some initial data. For example, the following hook will
 automatically load some data from the server, and return an object that will
 be ready whenever the component is rendered:
 ```js
 function useLoader() {
  const component = Component.current;
  const record = useState({});
  onWillStart(async () => {
    const recordId = component.props.id;
    Object.assign(record, await fetchSomeRecord(recordId));
  });
  return record;
 }
 ```
 Note that this example does not update the record value whenever props are
 updated. For that situation, we need to use the `onWillUpdateProps` hook.
 ### `onWillUpdateProps`
 Just like `onWillStart`, `onWillUpdateProps` is an asynchronous hook. It is
 designed to be run whenever the component props are updated. This could be
 useful to perform some asynchronous task such as fetching updated data.
 ```js
 function useLoader() {
  const component = Component.current;
  const record = useState({});
  async function updateRecord(id) {
    Object.assign(record, await fetchSomeRecord(id));
  }
  onWillStart(() => updateRecord(component.props.id));
  onWillUpdateProps(nextProps => updateRecord(nextProps.id));
  return record;
 }
 ```
 Note that if there are more than one `onWillUpdateProps` registered callback,
 then they will all be run in parallel.
 ### `useContext`
 See [`useContext`](context.md#usecontext) for reference documentation.
 ### `useRef`
 The `useRef` hook is useful when we need a way to interact with some inside part
 of a component, rendered by Owl. It can work either on a DOM node, or on a component,
 tagged by the `t-ref` directive:
 ```xml
 <div>
    <div t-ref="someDiv"/>
    <SubComponent t-ref="someComponent"/>
 </div>
 ```
 In this example, the component will be able to access the `div` and the component
 `SubComponent` using the `useRef` hook:
 ```js
 class Parent extends Component {
  subRef = useRef("someComponent");
  divRef = useRef("someDiv");
  someMethod() {
    // here, if component is mounted, refs are active:
    // - this.divRef.el is the div HTMLElement
    // - this.subRef.comp is the instance of the sub component
    // - this.subRef.el is the root HTML node of the sub component (i.e. this.subRef.comp.el)
  }
 }
 ```
 As shown by the example above, html elements are accessed by using the `el`
 key, and components references are accessed with `comp`.
 Notes:
 - if used on a component, the reference will be set in the `refs`
  variable between `willPatch` and `patched`,
 - on a component, accessing `ref.el` will get the root node of the component.
 The `t-ref` directive also accepts dynamic values with string interpolation
 (like the [`t-attf-`](qweb_templating_language.md#dynamic-attributes) and
 `t-component` directives). For example,
 ```xml
 <div t-ref="component_{{someCondition ? '1' : '2'}}"/>
 ```
 Here, the references need to be set like this:
 ```js
 this.ref1 = useRef("component_1");
 this.ref2 = useRef("component_2");
 ```
 References are only guaranteed to be active while the parent component is mounted.
 If this is not the case, accessing `el` or `comp` on it will return `null`.
 ### `useSubEnv`
 The environment is sometimes useful to share some common information between
 all components. But sometimes, we want to _scope_ that knowledge to a subtree.
 For example, if we have a form view component, maybe we would like to make some
 `model` object available to all sub components, but not to the whole application.
 This is where the `useSubEnv` hook may be useful: it lets a component add some
 information to the environment in a way that only the component and its children
 can access it:
 ```js
 class FormComponent extends Component {
  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);
    const model = makeModel();
    useSubEnv({ model });
  }
 }
 ```
 The `useSubEnv` takes one argument: an object which contains some key/value that
 will be added to the parent environment. Note that it will extend, not replace
 the parent environment. And of course, the parent environment will not be
 affected.
 ### `useStore`
 The `useStore` hook is the entry point for a component to connect to the store.
 See the [store documentation](store.md) for more information.
 ### `useDispatch`
 The `useDispatch` hook is the way for components to get a reference to the store
 `dispatch` function. See the [store documentation](store.md) for more information.
 ### `useGetters`
 The `useGetters` hook is the way for components to get a reference to the store
 getters. See the [store documentation](store.md) for more information.
 ### Making customized hooks
 Hooks are a wonderful way to organize the code of a complex component by feature
 instead of by lifecycle methods. They are like mixins, except that they can be
 easily composed together.
 But, like every good things in life, hooks should be used with moderation. They are
 not the solution to every problem.
 - they may be overkill: if your component needs to perform some action specific
  to itself (so, the specific code does not need to be shared), there is nothing
  wrong with a simple class method:
  ```js
  // maybe overkill
  class A extends Component {
    constructor(...args) {
      super(...args);
      useMySpecificHook();
    }
  }
  // ok
  class B extends Component {
    constructor(...args) {
      super(...args);
      this.performSpecificTask();
    }
  }
  ```
  Note that the second solution is easier to extend in sub components.
 - they may be harder to test: if a customized hook injects some external side
  effect dependency, then it is harder to test without doing some non obvious
  manipulation. For example, assume that we want to give a reference to a
  router in a `useRouter` hook. We could do this:
  ```js
  const router = new Router(...);
  function useRouter() {
      return router;
  }
  ```
  As you can see, this does not _hook_ into the internal of the component. It
  simply returns a global object, which is difficult to mock.
  A better way would be to do something like this: get the reference from the
  environment.
  ```js
  function useRouter() {
    return Component.current.env.router;
  }
  ```
  This means that we give control to the application developer to create the
  router, which is good, so they can set it up, subclass it, ... And then, to
  test our components, we can just add a mock router in the environment.
 Note: the code above makes use of the `Component.current` property. This is the
 way hooks are able to get a reference to the component currently being created.

 # 🦉 Miscellaneous 🦉
 ## Content
 - [Portal](#portal)
 - [AsyncRoot](#asyncroot)
 ## `Portal`
 ### Overview
 The component `Portal` is meant to be used as a transparent way to 'teleport' a piece
 of DOM to the node represented by its sole `target` props.
 This component aims at helping the implementation of the needed infrastructure
 for modals (as in `bootstrap-modal`).
 ### Usage
 The content it will teleport is defined within the `<Portal>` node and
 internally uses the `default` [Slot](component.md#slots).
 This slot must contain only **one** node, which in turn can have as many children as necessary.
 The element under which the content will be teleported is represented as a selector
 by the `target` props which only accepts a string as value.
 The `target` props only supports static selector, and is not meant to be passed to `Portal`
 as a variable. Namely, `<Portal target="'body'" />` is the intended use.
 By contrast, `<Portal target="state.target" />` is not supported.
 The component `Portal` has no particular state, rather it is meant to be a slave to its parent,
 and ultimately just a way for the parent to teleport a piece of its own DOM elsewhere.
 The `Portal`'s root node is always `<portal/>` and is placed where the teleported content
 _would have_ been. It is this element that the [teleported events](#expected-behaviors) are re-directed on.
 ### Example
 The canonic use-case is to implement a Dialog, where a Component may choose to break the natural
 workflow to help the user put in some data, which it could use later on.
 JavaScript:
 ```js
 const { Component } = owl;
 const { Portal } = owl.misc;
 class TeleportedComponent extends Component {}
 class App extends Component {
  static components = { Portal, TeleportedComponent };
 }
 const app = new App();
 app.mount(document.body);
 ```
 XML:
 ```xml
 <templates>
    <div t-name="TeleportedComponent">
        <span>I will move soon enough</span>
    </div>
    <div t-name="App">
        <span>I am like the rest of us</span>
        <Portal target="'body'">
            <TeleportedComponent />
        </Portal>
    </div>
 </templates>
 ```
 In this example, the `Portal` component will teleport the `TeleportedComponent`'s `div` as a child of the `body`.
 `TeleportedComponent` is acting as a Dialog here.
 The resulting DOM will look like:
 ```xml
 <body>
    <div>
        <span>I am like the rest of us</span>
        <portal></portal>
    </div>
    <div>
        <span>I will move soon enough</span>
    </div>
 </body>
 ```
 ### Expected Behaviors
 The teleported piece is updated as any other `Component`'s DOM and in the same sequence.
 Namely the teleported piece will be updated in function of its parents components, and patched as
 a normal child.
 The [_business_ events](component.md#event-handling) triggered by a child component will be stopped
 to not bubble outside of the `target`. They will, on the other hand, be re-directed onto the
 `Portal`'s root node and bubble up the DOM as if it were triggered by a regular child component.
 Beware that those re-directed events are copies of the original event.
 They have:
 - The same payload.
 - The same `originalComponent` than their original counterpart,
  that is the actual Component that triggered it.
 - A **different** `target` property than their original counterpart.
  The `target` of a re-directed event is necessarily the `Portal`'s root node.
 Pure DOM events do not follow this pattern and are free to bubble their natural, unaltered way
 up to the `body`.
 ## `AsyncRoot`
 When this component is used, a new rendering sub tree is created, such that the
 rendering of that component (and its children) is not tied to the rendering of
 the rest of the interface. It can be used on an asynchronous component, to
 prevent it from delaying the rendering of the whole interface, or on a
 synchronous one, such that its rendering isn't delayed by other (asynchronous)
 components. Note that this directive has no effect on the first rendering, but
 only on subsequent ones (triggered by state or props changes).
 ```xml
 <div t-name="ParentComponent">
  <SyncChild />
  <AsyncRoot>
     <AsyncChild/>
  </AsyncRoot>
 </div>
 ```
 The `AsyncRoot` assumes that there is exactly one root node inside it. It can
 be a dom node or a component.

 # 🦉 Observer 🦉
 Owl needs to be able to react to state changes. For example, whenever the state
 of a component is changed, Owl needs to rerender it. To help with that, there is
 an Observer class. Its job is to observe the state of an object (or array), and
 to react to any change. The observer is implemented with the native `Proxy`
 object. Note that this means that it will not work on older browsers.
 Note that the `Observer` is used by the `useState` and `useContext` hooks. This
 is the way most Owl applications will create observers. For the majority of
 use cases, there is no need to directly instantiate an observer.
 ## Example
 For example, this code will display `update` in the console:
 ```javascript
 const observer = new owl.Observer();
 observer.notifyCB = () => console.log("update");
 const obj = observer.observe({ a: { b: 1 } });
 obj.a.b = 2;
 ```
 This example shows that an observer can observe nested properties.
 ## Reference
 **observe** An observer can observe multiple values with the `observe` method.
 This method takes an object or an array as its argument and will return a proxy
 (which is mapped to the initial object/array). With this proxy, the observer
 can detect whenever any internal value is changed.
 **Registering a callback** Whenever an observer sees a state change, it will
 call its `notifyCB` method. No additional information is given to the callback.
 **deepRevNumber** Each observed value has an internal revision number, which
 is incremented every time the value is observed. Sometimes, it can be useful
 to obtain that number:
 ```js
 const observer = new owl.Observer();
 const obj = observer.observe({ a: { b: 1 } });
 observer.deepRevNumber(obj.a); // 1
 obj.a.b = 2;
 observer.deepRevNumber(obj.a); // 2
 ```
 The `deepRevNumber` can also return 0, which indicates that the value is not
 observed.

 # 🦉 Props 🦉
 ## Content
 - [Overview](#overview)
 - [Definition](#definition)
 - [Good Practices](#good-practices)
 - [Dynamic Props](#dynamic-props)
 ## Overview
 In Owl, `props` (short for _properties_) is an object which contains every piece
 of data given to a component by its parent.
 ```js
 class Child extends Component {
  static template = xml`<div><t t-esc="props.a"/><t t-esc="props.b"/></div>`;
 }
 class Parent extends Component {
  static template = xml`<div><ComponentA a="state.a" b="'string'"/></div>`;
  static components = { Child };
  state = useState({ a: "fromparent" });
 }
 ```
 In this example, the `Child` component receives two props from its parent: `a`
 and `b`. They are collected into a `props` object by Owl, with each value being
 evaluated in the context of the parent. So, `props.a` is equal to `'fromparent'` and
 `props.b` is equal to `'string'`.
 Note that `props` is an object that only makes sense from the perspective of the
 child component.
 ## Definition
 The `props` object is made of every attributes defined on the template, with the
 following exceptions:
 - every attribute starting with `t-` are not props (they are QWeb directives),
 - `style` and `class` attributes are excluded as well (they are applied by Owl on
  the root element of the component).
 In the following example:
 ```xml
 <div>
    <ComponentA a="state.a" b="'string'"/>
    <ComponentB t-if="state.flag" model="model"/>
    <ComponentC style="color:red;" class="left-pane" />
 </div>
 ```
 the `props` object contains the following keys:
 - for `ComponentA`: `a` and `b`,
 - for `ComponentB`: `model`,
 - for `ComponentC`: empty object
 ## Good Practices
 A `props` object is a collection of values that come from the parent. As such,
 they are owned by the parent, and should never be modified by the child:
 ```js
 class MyComponent extends Component {
  constructor(parent, props) {
    super(parent, props);
    props.a.b = 43; // Never do that!!!
  }
 }
 ```
 Props should be considered readonly, from the perspective of the child component.
 If there is a need to modify them, then the request to update them should be
 sent to the parent (for example, with an event).
 Any value can go in a props. Strings, objects, classes, or even callbacks could
 be given to a child component (but then, in the case of callbacks, communicating
 with events seems more appropriate).
 ## Dynamic Props
 The `t-props` directive can be used to specify totally dynamic props:
 ```xml
 <div t-name="ParentComponent">
    <Child t-props="some.obj"/>
 </div>
 ```
 ```js
 class ParentComponent {
  static components = { Child };
  some = { obj: { a: 1, b: 2 } };
 }
 ```

 # 🦉 Props Validation 🦉
 As an application becomes complex, it may be quite unsafe to define props in an informal way. This leads to two issues:
 - hard to tell how a component should be used, by looking at its code.
 - unsafe, it is easy to send wrong props into a component, either by refactoring a component, or one of its parents.
 A props type system solves both issues, by describing the types and shapes
 of the props. Here is how it works in Owl:
 - `props` key is a static key (so, different from `this.props` in a component instance)
 - it is optional: it is ok for a component to not define a `props` key.
 - props are validated whenever a component is created/updated
 - props are only validated in `dev` mode (see [config page](config.md#mode))
 - if a key does not match the description, an error is thrown
 - it validates keys defined in (static) `props`. Additional keys given by the
  parent will cause an error.
 For example:
 ```js
 class ComponentA extends owl.Component {
    static props = ['id', 'url'];
    ...
 }
 class ComponentB extends owl.Component {
  static props = {
    count: {type: Number},
    messages: {
      type: Array,
      element: {type: Object, shape: {id: Boolean, text: 'string' }
    },
   date: Date,
   combinedVal: [Number, Boolean]
  };
  ...
 }
 ```
 - it is an object or a list of strings
 - a list of strings is a simplified props definition, which only lists the name
  of the props. Also, if the name ends with `?`, it is considered optional.
 - all props are by default required, unless they are defined with `optional: true`
  (in that case, validation is only done if there is a value)
 - valid types are: `Number, String, Boolean, Object, Array, Date, Function`, and all
  constructor functions (so, if you have a `Person` class, it can be used as a type)
 - arrays are homogeneous (all elements have the same type/shape)
 For each key, a `prop` definition is either a boolean, a constructor, a list of constructors, or an object:
 - a boolean: indicate that the props exists, and is mandatory.
 - a constructor: this should describe the type, for example: `id: Number` describe
  the props `id` as a number
 - a list of constructors. In that case, this means that we allow more than one
  type. For example, `id: [Number, String]` means that `id` can be either a string
  or a number.
 - an object. This makes it possible to have more expressive definition. The following sub keys are then allowed (but not mandatory):
  - `type`: the main type of the prop being validated
  - `element`: if the type was `Array`, then the `element` key describes the type of each element in the array. If it is not set, then we only validate the array, not its elements,
  - `shape`: if the type was `Object`, then the `shape` key describes the interface of the object. If it is not set, then we only validate the object, not its elements,
  - `validate`: this is a function which should return a boolean to determine if
    the value is valid or not. Useful for custom validation logic.
 Examples:
 ```js
  // only the existence of those 3 keys is documented
  static props = ['message', 'id', 'date'];
 ```
 ```js
  // size is optional
  static props = ['message', 'size?'];
 ```
 ```js
  static props = {
    messageIds: {type: Array, element: Number},  // list of number
    otherArr: {type: Array},   // just array. no validation is made on sub elements
    otherArr2: Array,   // same as otherArr
    someObj: {type: Object},  // just an object, no internal validation
    someObj2: {
      type: Object,
      shape: {
        id: Number,
        name: {type: String, optional: true},
        url: String
      ]},    // object, with keys id (number), name (string, optional) and url (string)
    someFlag: Boolean,     // a boolean, mandatory (even if `false`)
    someVal: [Boolean, Date],   // either a boolean or a date
    otherValue: true,     // indicates that it is a prop

 # 🦉 QWeb Engine 🦉
 ## Content
 - [Overview](#overview)
 - [Reference](#reference)
 ## Overview
 [QWeb](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/13.0/reference/qweb.html) is the primary
 templating engine used by Odoo. The QWeb class in the OWL project is an
 implementation of that specification with a few interesting points:
 - it compiles templates into functions that output a virtual DOM instead of a
  string. This is necessary for the component system.
 - it has a few extra directives: `t-component`, `t-on`, ...
 We present in this section the engine, not the templating language.
 ## Reference
 This section is about the javascript code that implements the `QWeb` specification.
 Owl exports a `QWeb` class in `owl.QWeb`. To use it, it just needs to be
 instantiated:
 ```js
 const qweb = new owl.QWeb();
 ```
 Its API is quite simple:
 - **`constructor(config)`**: constructor. Takes an optional configuration object
  with an optional `templates` string to add initial
  templates (see `addTemplates` for more information on format of the string)
  and an optional `translateFn` translate function (see the section on
  [translations](#translations)).
  ```js
  const qweb = new owl.QWeb({ templates: TEMPLATES, translateFn: _t });
  ```
 - **`addTemplate(name, xmlStr, allowDuplicate)`**: add a specific template.
  ```js
  qweb.addTemplate("mytemplate", "<div>hello</div>");
  ```
  If the optional `allowDuplicate` is set to `true`, then `QWeb` will simply
  ignore templates added for a second time. Otherwise, `QWeb` will crash.
 - **`addTemplates(xmlStr)`**: add a list of templates (identified by `t-name`
  attribute).
  ```js
  const TEMPLATES = `
    <templates>
      <div t-name="App" class="main">main</div>
      <div t-name="OtherComponent">other component</div>
    </templates>`;
  qweb.addTemplates(TEMPLATES);
  ```
 - **`render(name, context, extra)`**: renders a template. This returns a `vnode`,
  which is a virtual representation of the DOM (see [vdom doc](../architecture/vdom.md)).
  ```js
  const vnode = qweb.render("App", component);
  ```
 - **`renderToString(name, context)`**: renders a template, but returns an html
  string.
  ```js
  const str = qweb.renderToString("someTemplate", somecontext);
  ```
 - **`registerTemplate(name, template)`**: static function to register a global
  QWeb template. This is useful for commonly used components accross the
  application, and for making a template available to an application without
  having a reference to the actual QWeb instance.
  ```js
  QWeb.registerTemplate("mytemplate", `<div>some template</div>`);
  ```
 - **`registerComponent(name, Component)`**: static function to register an OWL Component
  to QWeb's global registry. Globally registered Components can be used in
  templates (see the `t-component` directive). This is useful for commonly used
  components accross the application.
  ```js
  class Dialog extends owl.Component { ... }
  QWeb.registerComponent("Dialog", Dialog);
  ...
  class ParentComponent extends owl.Component { ... }
  qweb.addTemplate("ParentComponent", "<div><Dialog/></div>");
  ```
 In some way, a `QWeb` instance is the core of an Owl application. It is the only
 mandatory element of an [environment](environment.md). As such, it
 has an extra responsibility: it can act as an event bus for internal communication
 between Owl classes. This is the reason why `QWeb` actually extends [EventBus](event_bus.md).

 If properly setup, Owl QWeb engine can translate all rendered templates. To do
 so, it needs a translate function, which takes a string and returns a string.
 For example:
 ```js
 const translations = {
  hello: "bonjour",
  yes: "oui",
  no: "non"
 };
 const translateFn = str => translations[str] || str;
 const qweb = new QWeb({ translateFn });
 ```
 Once setup, all rendered templates will be translated using `translateFn`:
 - each text node will be replaced with its translation,
 - each of the following attribute values will be translated as well: `title`,
  `placeholder`, `label` and `alt`,
 - translating text nodes can be disabled with the special attribute `t-translation`,
  if its value is `off`.
 So, with the above `translateFn`, the following templates:
 ```xml
 <div>hello</div>
 <div t-translation="off">hello</div>
 <div>Are you sure?</div>
 <input placeholder="hello" other="yes"/>
 ```
 will be rendered as:
 ```xml
 <div>bonjour</div>
 <div>hello</div>
 <div>Are you sure?</div>
 <input placeholder="bonjour" other="yes"/>
 ```
 Note that the translation is done during the compilation of the template, not
 when it is rendered.

 # 🦉 Utils 🦉
 Owl export a few useful utility functions, to help with common issues. Those
 functions are all available in the `owl.utils` namespace.
 ## Content
 - [`whenReady`](#whenready): executing code when DOM is ready
 - [`loadJS`](#loadjs): loading script files
 - [`loadFile`](#loadfile): loading a file (useful for templates)
 - [`escape`](#escape): sanitizing strings
 - [`debounce`](#debounce): limiting rate of function calls
 - [`shallowEqual`](#shallowequal): shallow object comparison
 ## `whenReady`
 The function `whenReady` returns a `Promise` resolved when the DOM is ready (if
 not ready yet, resolved directly otherwise). If called with a callback as
 argument, it executes it as soon as the DOM ready (or directly).
 ```js
 Promise.all([loadFile("templates.xml"), owl.utils.whenReady()]).then(function([templates]) {
  const qweb = new owl.QWeb({ templates });
  const app = new App({ qweb });
  app.mount(document.body);
 });
 ```
 or alternatively:
 ```js
 owl.utils.whenReady(function() {
  const qweb = new owl.QWeb();
  const app = new App({ qweb });
  app.mount(document.body);
 });
 ```
 ## `loadJS`
 `loadJS` takes a url (string) for a javascript resource, and loads it (by adding
 a script tag in the document head). It returns a promise, so the caller can
 properly reacts when it is ready. Also, it is smart: it maintains a list of urls
 previously loaded (or currently being loaded), and prevent doing twice the work.
 For example, it is useful for lazy loading external libraries:
 ```js
 class MyComponent extends owl.Component {
  willStart() {
    return owl.utils.loadJS("/static/libs/someLib.js");
  }
 }
 ```
 ## `loadFile`
 `loadFile` is a helper function to fetch a file. It simply
 performs a `GET` request and returns the resulting string in a promise. The
 initial usecase for this function is to load a template file. For example:
 ```js
 async function makeEnv() {
  const templates = await owl.utils.loadFile("templates.xml");
  const qweb = new owl.QWeb({ templates });
  return { qweb };
 }
 ```
 Note that unlike `loadJS`, this function returns the content of the file as a
 string. It does not add a `script` tag or any other side effect.
 ## `escape`
 Sometimes, we need to display dynamic data (for example user-generated data) in
 the user interface. If this is done by a `QWeb` template, it is not an issue:
 ```xml
    <div><t t-esc="user.data"/></div>
 ```
 The `QWeb` engine will create a `div` node and add the content of the `user.data`
 string as a text node, so the web browser will not parse it as html. However,
 it may be a problem if this is done with some javascript code like this:
 ```js
 class BadComponent extends Component {
  // some template with a ref to a div
  // some code ...
  mounted() {
    this.divRef.el.innerHTML = this.state.value;
  }
 }
 ```
 In this case, the content of the `div` will be parsed as html, which may inject
 unwanted behaviour. To fix this, the `escape` function will simply transform a
 string into an escaped version of the same string, which will be properly displayed
 by the browser, but which will not be parsed as html (for example, `"<ok>"` is
 escaped to the string: `"&lt;ok&gt;"`). So, the bad example above can be fixed
 with the following change:
 ```js
 this.divRef.el.innerHTML = owl.utils.escape(this.state.value);
 ```
 ## `debounce`
 The `debounce` function is useful when we want to limit the number of times some
 function/action is perfomed. For example, this may be useful to prevent issue
 with people double clicking on a button.
 It takes three arguments:
 - `func` (function): this is the function that will be rate limited
 - `wait` (number): this is the number of milliseconds that we want to use to
  rate limit the function `func`
 - `immediate` (optional, boolean, default=false): if `immediate` is true, the
  function will be triggered immediately (leading edge of the interval). If false,
  the function will be triggered at the end (trailing edge).
 It returns a function. For example:
 ```js
 const debounce = owl.utils.debounce;
 window.addEventListener("mousemove", debounce(doSomething, 100));
 ```
 As this example shows, it is usualy useful for event handlers which are triggered
 very quickly, such as `scroll` or `mousemove` events.
 ## `shallowEqual`
 This function checks if two objects have the same values assigned to each keys:
 ```js
 shallowEqual({ a: 1, b: 2 }, { a: 1, b: 2 }); // true
 shallowEqual({ a: 1, b: 2 }, { a: 1, b: 3 }); // false
 ```
 However, for performance reasons, it assumes that the two objects have the same
 keys. If we are in a situation where this is not guaranteed, the following code
 will work:
 ```js
 const completeShallowEqual = (a, b) => shallowEqual(a, b) && shallowEqual(b, a);

  - an `isEqual` key containing an equality function if we want to specialize

    and the new result, and must return whether they are equal),
  - and an `onUpdate` key containing an update function if we want to execute an

 state should only be updated with actions.
 ### `useDispatch`

 actions. It takes an optional argument, which is a store. If not given, it will
 use the store in the environment.
 Note that a component does not need to be connected in any other way to the store.

 This roadmap is only an attempt at predicting Owl's future.  Everything may
 change!
 ### December 2019
 If all goes well, Owl is upgraded to beta status. From now on, no API change,
 even small, is expected (but it still could happen).
 ### End of 2019
 Release v1.0
 - API should be stable,
 - we will use semantic versioning,
 - we will maintain a changelog and an upgrade guide.
 ### 1.x
 - add chrome and firefox devtools,
 - add support for single file components,
 - fix every bugs,
 - improve documentation,
 - small backward compatible improvements.
 ### 2.x (2021? 2022?)
 Maybe:
 - reimplement vdom to use *block* system, like Vue 3, which should make Owl
  much faster
 - refactor `QWeb` to use an intermediate representation (some kind of AST) to
  allow additional optimisations.

    // - some internal state changes (this will go through this method)
    // - some props changes (if a parent is changed and need to rerender itself)

    // be rendered again by the store update, even though it is supposed to be
    // destroyed by the first rendering.
    //
    // So, the solution is to keep the information that there is a current
    // rendering occuring with the same store state, the same props, and return
    // that in the __checkUpdate method.  To do this, we use the renderPromise
    // deferred, which is not used by the component system once the
