How to use the diff algorithm in vue

This time I will show you how to use the diff algorithm in vue, and what are the precautions for using the diff algorithm in vue. The following is a practical case, let's take a look.

Virtual dom

The diff algorithm must first clarify the concept that the object of diff is the virtual dom, and updating the real dom is the result of the diff algorithm

Vnode base class

 constructor (
  。。。
 ) {
  this.tag = tag
  this.data = data
  this.children = children
  this.text = text
  this.elm = elm
  this.ns = undefined
  this.context = context
  this.fnContext = undefined
  this.fnOptions = undefined
  this.fnScopeId = undefined
  this.key = data && data.key
  this.componentOptions = componentOptions
  this.componentInstance = undefined
  this.parent = undefined
  this.raw = false
  this.isStatic = false
  this.isRootInsert = true
  this.isComment = false
  this.isCloned = false
  this.isOnce = false
  this.asyncFactory = asyncFactory
  this.asyncMeta = undefined
  this.isAsyncPlaceholder = false
 }

This part of the code is mainly to better understand the meaning of the specific diff attributes in the diff algorithm, and of course to better understand the vnode instance

Overall process

The core function is the patch function

• isUndef judgment (whether it is undefined or null)

• // empty mount (likely as component), create new root elementcreateElm(vnode, insertedVnodeQueue) Here you can find that creating nodes is not inserted one by one, but put into a queue for unified batch processing

• Core function sameVnode

function sameVnode (a, b) {
 return (
  a.key === b.key && (
   (
    a.tag === b.tag &&
    a.isComment === b.isComment &&
    isDef(a.data) === isDef(b.data) &&
    sameInputType(a, b)
   ) || (
    isTrue(a.isAsyncPlaceholder) &&
    a.asyncFactory === b.asyncFactory &&
    isUndef(b.asyncFactory.error)
   )
  )
 )
}

Here is an outer comparison function that directly compares the key, tag (label), and data of two nodes ( Note that data here refers to VNodeData), and the type is directly compared for input.

export interface VNodeData {
 key?: string | number;
 slot?: string;
 scopedSlots?: { [key: string]: ScopedSlot };
 ref?: string;
 tag?: string;
 staticClass?: string;
 class?: any;
 staticStyle?: { [key: string]: any };
 style?: object[] | object;
 props?: { [key: string]: any };
 attrs?: { [key: string]: any };
 domProps?: { [key: string]: any };
 hook?: { [key: string]: Function };
 on?: { [key: string]: Function | Function[] };
 nativeOn?: { [key: string]: Function | Function[] };
 transition?: object;
 show?: boolean;
 inlineTemplate?: {
  render: Function;
  staticRenderFns: Function[];
 };
 directives?: VNodeDirective[];
 keepAlive?: boolean;
}

This will confirm whether the two nodes have further comparison value, otherwise they will be replaced directly

The replacement process is mainly a createElm function and the other is to destroy the oldVNode

// destroy old node
    if (isDef(parentElm)) {
     removeVnodes(parentElm, [oldVnode], 0, 0)
    } else if (isDef(oldVnode.tag)) {
     invokeDestroyHook(oldVnode)
    }

Insert To simplify the process, it is to determine the type of the node and call

createComponent respectively (it will determine whether there are children and then call it recursively)

createComment

createTextNode

After creation After using the insert function

, you need to use the hydrate function to map the virtual dom and the real dom

function insert (parent, elm, ref) {
  if (isDef(parent)) {
   if (isDef(ref)) {
    if (ref.parentNode === parent) {
     nodeOps.insertBefore(parent, elm, ref)
    }
   } else {
    nodeOps.appendChild(parent, elm)
   }
  }
 }

Core function

 function patchVnode (oldVnode, vnode, insertedVnodeQueue, removeOnly) {
  if (oldVnode === vnode) {
   return
  }
  const elm = vnode.elm = oldVnode.elm
  if (isTrue(oldVnode.isAsyncPlaceholder)) {
   if (isDef(vnode.asyncFactory.resolved)) {
    hydrate(oldVnode.elm, vnode, insertedVnodeQueue)
   } else {
    vnode.isAsyncPlaceholder = true
   }
   return
  }
  if (isTrue(vnode.isStatic) &&
   isTrue(oldVnode.isStatic) &&
   vnode.key === oldVnode.key &&
   (isTrue(vnode.isCloned) || isTrue(vnode.isOnce))
  ) {
   vnode.componentInstance = oldVnode.componentInstance
   return
  }
  let i
  const data = vnode.data
  if (isDef(data) && isDef(i = data.hook) && isDef(i = i.prepatch)) {
   i(oldVnode, vnode)
  }
  const oldCh = oldVnode.children
  const ch = vnode.children
  if (isDef(data) && isPatchable(vnode)) {
   for (i = 0; i <blockquote style="text-align: left;">const el = vnode.el = oldVnode.el This is a very important step. Let vnode.el refer to the current real dom. When el is modified, vnode.el will change synchronously. <p style="text-align: left;"></p>
</blockquote><ol class=" list-paddingleft-2">
<li>Compare whether the two references are consistent<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
</li>

</ol>

• If only oldVnode has child nodes, then

  Delete these nodes

• If there is only vnode If there are child nodes, then create these child nodes. If oldVnode is a text node, set the text of vnode.elm to empty

  String

• All are valid updateChildren, this will be detailed later

• If neither oldVnode nor vnode has child nodes, but oldVnode is a text node or comment node, set the text of vnode.elm to an empty string

updateChildren

The focus of this part is still on the entire algorithm

First four pointers, oldStart, oldEnd, newStart, newEnd, two array, oldVnode, Vnode.

function updateChildren (parentElm, oldCh, newCh, insertedVnodeQueue, removeOnly) {
  let oldStartIdx = 0
  let newStartIdx = 0
  let oldEndIdx = oldCh.length - 1
  let oldStartVnode = oldCh[0]
  let oldEndVnode = oldCh[oldEndIdx]
  let newEndIdx = newCh.length - 1
  let newStartVnode = newCh[0]
  let newEndVnode = newCh[newEndIdx]
  let oldKeyToIdx, idxInOld, vnodeToMove, refElm
  while (oldStartIdx  oldEndIdx) {
   refElm = isUndef(newCh[newEndIdx + 1]) ? null : newCh[newEndIdx + 1].elm
   addVnodes(parentElm, refElm, newCh, newStartIdx, newEndIdx, insertedVnodeQueue)
  } else if (newStartIdx > newEndIdx) {
   removeVnodes(parentElm, oldCh, oldStartIdx, oldEndIdx)
  }
 }

A

loop Several situations and processing of comparison (the following - all refer to index -) comparison is the node node of comparison. The abbreviation is not rigorous and the comparison is The sameVnode function is not really congruent

Conditions for the entire loop not to end oldStartIdx

1. oldStart === newStart, oldStart newStart

2. oldEnd === newEnd, oldEnd-- newEnd--

3. oldStart === newEnd, oldStart Insert to the end of the queue oldStart newEnd --

4. oldEnd === newStart, oldEnd is inserted into the beginning of the queue oldEnd-- newStart

5. 剩下的所有情况都走这个处理简单的说也就两种处理，处理后newStart++

• newStart在old中发现一样的那么将这个移动到oldStart前

• 没有发现一样的那么创建一个放到oldStart之前

循环结束后并没有完成

还有一段判断才算完

if (oldStartIdx > oldEndIdx) {
   refElm = isUndef(newCh[newEndIdx + 1]) ? null : newCh[newEndIdx + 1].elm
   addVnodes(parentElm, refElm, newCh, newStartIdx, newEndIdx, insertedVnodeQueue)
  } else if (newStartIdx > newEndIdx) {
   removeVnodes(parentElm, oldCh, oldStartIdx, oldEndIdx)
  }
