 Note: the props validation code is done by using the [validate utility function](utils.md#validate).

+### `slots` prop
+
+If a component that uses [slots](slots.md) also lists or validates its props, then
+you will have to explicitely allow the `slots` prop (with an `Object` type), or
+allow extra props using the `*` notation mentioned above. This is because slots
+are provided to a component [as props](slots.md#slots-and-props).
+
+For example:
+
+```js
+class MyComponent extends Component {
+  static props = [someProp, slots?];
+}
+
+class MyComponentWithValidation extends Component {
+  static props = {
+    someProp: {type: Number, optional: true},

+# encountered issues
+## dropdown issue
+- there was a problem that writing in a state while the effect was updated.
+  - the tracking of signal being written were dropped because we cleared it
+    after re-running the effect that made a write.
+  - solution: clear the tracked signal before re-executing the effects
+- reading signal A while also writing signal A makes an infinite loop
+  - current solution: use toRaw in order to not track the read
+  - possible better solution to explore: do not track read if there is a write in a effect.
+## website issue
+- a rpc request was made on onWillStart, onWillStart was tracking reads. (see WebsiteBuilderClientAction)
+  - The read subsequently made a write, that re-triggered the onWillStart.
+  - A similar situation happened with onWillUpdateProps (see Transition)
+  - solution: prevent tracking reads in onWillStart and onWillUpdateProps

Romeo Fragomeli	5187f01c44	[REL] v2.8.1 # v2.8.1 - [FIX] parser, code_generator: wrapped children recognition - [DOC] `slots` prop validation	2025-09-23 09:17:54 +02:00
Mathieu Duckerts-Antoine	521111644c	[FIX] parser, code_generator: wrapped children recognition Several directives (t-key, t-log, t-translation, …) are represented by wrapper ASTs that contain another AST or null. Because these wrappers don't share the same type as their children, various AST type checks were broken. This commit addresses those issues by: - Commuting Translation / TranslationContext and Multi ASTs so that Multi children are spread as expected (see parseChildren). - Parsing the t-key directive before t-esc / t-out (in line with https://github.com/odoo/owl/pull/1685). - Ensuring wrappers around TSet ASTs are recognized as having no representation, so compileMulti properly discards children equivalent to TSet.	2025-09-22 16:59:47 +02:00
Damien Bouvy	c2728c9daf	[DOC] `slots` prop validation Make it explicit that props validation should accept `slots` if a component uses slots (even the `default` slot).	2025-09-03 13:46:45 +02:00
Romeo Fragomeli	871dad6a13	[REL] v2.8.0 # v2.8.0 - [FIX] parser: t-esc/t-out vs t-translation* - [IMP] compiler: make human-readable ARIA attributes translatable	2025-06-30 14:46:16 +02:00
Mathieu Duckerts-Antoine	b620502a0f	[FIX] parser: t-esc/t-out vs t-translation* The directives t-esc/t-out both discard the ASTs that are not of DomNode type. Since the directives t-translation and t-translation-context both creates AST wrappers of type TTranslation and TTranslationContext respectively, mix t-esc/t-out and t-translation/t-translation-context does not work. For example parse <span t-esc="'Hello'" t-translation="off"/> gives the AST { type: ASTType.TEsc, expr: "'Hello'", defaultValue: "", } This makes the span not been rendered in the end. We fix that problem.	2025-06-24 16:03:56 +02:00

Romeo Fragomeli	56041bc133	[REL] v2.7.0 # v2.7.0 - [IMP] runtime/utils: export htmlEscape and add tests - [FIX] utils: Correct validation of mount target in shadow DOM/iframe - [IMP] runtime: add markup tag function	2025-03-26 13:58:50 +01:00
Sébastien Theys	e788e361c7	[IMP] runtime/utils: export htmlEscape and add tests markup tag function requires markup awareness to determine whether a given parameter should be escaped or not. This implies that pre-escaped content should be properly marked'ed up to avoid double escaping. Having to manually wrap all calls to escape with markup is cumbersome and prone to issues (on top of having to be validated by the security team for no reason). This commit introduces a markup-aware escape function to resolve those issues.	2025-03-26 13:52:35 +01:00
Achraf (abz)	9d378b0e7b	[FIX] utils: Correct validation of mount target in shadow DOM/iframe Previously, `validateTarget` only checked if the target element or its host (if it was a ShadowRoot) was directly contained in the document body. This failed in cases where the target element was nested inside a shadow DOM, which itself was attached to the document. This commit introduces a new helper `isAttachedToDocument` that traverses through parent nodes and shadow roots to ensure that the target is ultimately attached to the given document. Additionally, it now throws a clear error if `document.defaultView` is missing, indicating that the target document is detached or invalid. This ensures proper validation of mount targets, including complex scenarios with shadow roots and iframes.	2025-03-25 21:11:39 +01:00
Louis Wicket (wil)	fd3c194525	[IMP] runtime: add markup tag function Allows markup to be called as a tag function. The interpolated strings are then safely escaped for injection in HTML code. Example usage: ```js const maliciousInput = "<script>alert('💥💥')</script>"; const value = markup`<b>${maliciousInput}</b>`; // no problem, maliciousInput is properly escaped ```	2025-03-25 15:39:26 +01:00
