How to mount a Vue instance? Let’s talk about the process of instance mounting

How to mount a Vue instance? The following article will take you through the process of Vue instance mounting. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Vue2 has been in the public eye for a long time, and even Vue3 has begun to be used. Everyone’s mastery of Vue2 must be gradually To deepen, even if you don’t want to meet with big manufacturers, you should try to reach the source code level. The mounting process of Vue instances is a test point that frequently appears in interviews. Today, I will take you to analyze it step by step based on the source code! (Learning video sharing: vuejs tutorial)

1. Thinking

We have all heard itKnowing it, knowing it So thenthis sentence.

So I don’t know if you have thought about new Vue()What exactly is done in this process?

In the process, how to complete the binding of data, how to render the data to the view, etc.

2. Analysis

First find the constructor of Vue

Source code location: src/core/instance /index.js

function Vue (options) {
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' &&
    !(this instanceof Vue)
  ) {
    warn('Vue is a constructor and should be called with the `new` keyword')
  }
  this._init(options)
}

options are configuration items passed by the user, such as data, methods and other commonly used methods.

VueThe construction function calls the _init method, but we found that this method does not exist in this file, but if you look carefully, you can see that there are many initialization methods defined at the bottom of the file.

initMixin(Vue);     // 定义 _init
stateMixin(Vue);    // 定义 $set $get $delete $watch 等
eventsMixin(Vue);   // 定义事件  $on  $once $off $emit
lifecycleMixin(Vue);// 定义 _update  $forceUpdate  $destroy
renderMixin(Vue);   // 定义 _render 返回虚拟dom

First you can see the initMixin method and find that this method defines the _init method on the Vue prototype.

Source code location: src/core/instance/init.js

Vue.prototype._init = function (options?: Object) {
    const vm: Component = this
    // a uid
    vm._uid = uid++
    let startTag, endTag
    /* istanbul ignore if */
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && config.performance && mark) {
      startTag = `vue-perf-start:${vm._uid}`
      endTag = `vue-perf-end:${vm._uid}`
      mark(startTag)
    }

    // a flag to avoid this being observed
    vm._isVue = true
    // merge options
    // 合并属性，判断初始化的是否是组件，这里合并主要是 mixins 或 extends 的方法
    if (options && options._isComponent) {
      // optimize internal component instantiation
      // since dynamic options merging is pretty slow, and none of the
      // internal component options needs special treatment.
      initInternalComponent(vm, options)
    } else { // 合并vue属性
      vm.$options = mergeOptions(
        resolveConstructorOptions(vm.constructor),
        options || {},
        vm
      )
    }
    /* istanbul ignore else */
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
      // 初始化proxy拦截器
      initProxy(vm)
    } else {
      vm._renderProxy = vm
    }
    // expose real self
    vm._self = vm
    // 初始化组件生命周期标志位
    initLifecycle(vm)
    // 初始化组件事件侦听
    initEvents(vm)
    // 初始化渲染方法
    initRender(vm)
    callHook(vm, 'beforeCreate')
    // 初始化依赖注入内容，在初始化data、props之前
    initInjections(vm) // resolve injections before data/props
    // 初始化props/data/method/watch/methods
    initState(vm)
    initProvide(vm) // resolve provide after data/props
    callHook(vm, 'created')

    /* istanbul ignore if */
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && config.performance && mark) {
      vm._name = formatComponentName(vm, false)
      mark(endTag)
      measure(`vue ${vm._name} init`, startTag, endTag)
    }
    // 挂载元素
    if (vm.$options.el) {
      vm.$mount(vm.$options.el)
    }
  }

Reading the above code carefully, we get the following conclusion:

• Before calling beforeCreate, data initialization has not been completed. Properties such as data and props cannot be accessed.
• Arrived When created, the data has been initialized and the attributes data and props can be accessed, but the mounting of dom has not been completed at this time. Therefore the dom element cannot be accessed.
• The mounting method is to call the vm.$mountmethod

initStateThe method is to completeprops/data/method/ Initialization of watch/methods.

Source code location: src/core/instance/state.js

export function initState (vm: Component) {
  // 初始化组件的watcher列表
  vm._watchers = []
  const opts = vm.$options
  // 初始化props
  if (opts.props) initProps(vm, opts.props)
  // 初始化methods方法
  if (opts.methods) initMethods(vm, opts.methods)
  if (opts.data) {
    // 初始化data  
    initData(vm)
  } else {
    observe(vm._data = {}, true /* asRootData */)
  }
  if (opts.computed) initComputed(vm, opts.computed)
  if (opts.watch && opts.watch !== nativeWatch) {
    initWatch(vm, opts.watch)
  }
}

Here we mainly look at the method of initializing data initData, which is on the same file as initState

function initData (vm: Component) {
  let data = vm.$options.data
  // 获取到组件上的data
  data = vm._data = typeof data === 'function'
    ? getData(data, vm)
    : data || {}
  if (!isPlainObject(data)) {
    data = {}
    process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && warn(
      'data functions should return an object:\n' +
      'https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components.html#data-Must-Be-a-Function',
      vm
    )
  }
  // proxy data on instance
  const keys = Object.keys(data)
  const props = vm.$options.props
  const methods = vm.$options.methods
  let i = keys.length
  while (i--) {
    const key = keys[i]
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
      // 属性名不能与方法名重复
      if (methods && hasOwn(methods, key)) {
        warn(
          `Method "${key}" has already been defined as a data property.`,
          vm
        )
      }
    }
    // 属性名不能与state名称重复
    if (props && hasOwn(props, key)) {
      process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && warn(
        `The data property "${key}" is already declared as a prop. ` +
        `Use prop default value instead.`,
        vm
      )
    } else if (!isReserved(key)) { // 验证key值的合法性
      // 将_data中的数据挂载到组件vm上,这样就可以通过this.xxx访问到组件上的数据
      proxy(vm, `_data`, key)
    }
  }
  // observe data
  // 响应式监听data是数据的变化
  observe(data, true /* asRootData */)
}

Read the above code carefully, we can get the following conclusion:

• Initialization sequence:props, methods, data
• dataYou can choose function form or object form when defining (components can only be Functional form)

I won’t show detailed explanations about data responsiveness here. As mentioned above, the mounting method is to call the vm.$mount method

Source code:

Vue.prototype.$mount = function (
  el?: string | Element,
  hydrating?: boolean
): Component {
  // 获取或查询元素
  el = el && query(el)

  /* istanbul ignore if */
  // vue 不允许直接挂载到body或页面文档上
  if (el === document.body || el === document.documentElement) {
    process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && warn(
      `Do not mount Vue to <html> or <body> - mount to normal elements instead.`
    )
    return this
  }

  const options = this.$options
  // resolve template/el and convert to render function
  if (!options.render) {
    let template = options.template
    // 存在template模板，解析vue模板文件
    if (template) {
      if (typeof template === &#39;string&#39;) {
        if (template.charAt(0) === &#39;#&#39;) {
          template = idToTemplate(template)
          /* istanbul ignore if */
          if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== &#39;production&#39; && !template) {
            warn(
              `Template element not found or is empty: ${options.template}`,
              this
            )
          }
        }
      } else if (template.nodeType) {
        template = template.innerHTML
      } else {
        if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== &#39;production&#39;) {
          warn(&#39;invalid template option:&#39; + template, this)
        }
        return this
      }
    } else if (el) {
      // 通过选择器获取元素内容
      template = getOuterHTML(el)
    }
    if (template) {
      /* istanbul ignore if */
      if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== &#39;production&#39; && config.performance && mark) {
        mark(&#39;compile&#39;)
      }
      /**
       *  1.将temmplate解析ast tree
       *  2.将ast tree转换成render语法字符串
       *  3.生成render方法
       */
      const { render, staticRenderFns } = compileToFunctions(template, {
        outputSourceRange: process.env.NODE_ENV !== &#39;production&#39;,
        shouldDecodeNewlines,
        shouldDecodeNewlinesForHref,
        delimiters: options.delimiters,
        comments: options.comments
      }, this)
      options.render = render
      options.staticRenderFns = staticRenderFns

      /* istanbul ignore if */
      if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== &#39;production&#39; && config.performance && mark) {
        mark(&#39;compile end&#39;)
        measure(`vue ${this._name} compile`, &#39;compile&#39;, &#39;compile end&#39;)
      }
    }
  }
  return mount.call(this, el, hydrating)
}

Reading the above code, we can get the following conclusion:

• Do not place the root element on body or html
• You can define it in the objecttemplate/renderor use it# directly ##template, el means that the element selector
will eventually be parsed into the
• render function, and calling compileToFunctions will template is parsed into a render function

The steps for parsing

template are roughly divided into the following steps:

Parse
• html document fragments into ast descriptors
Parse
• ast descriptors into strings
Generate
• renderFunction

generates the

render function. After mounting to vm, the mount method will be called again

Source code location:

src/platforms/web/runtime/index.js

// public mount method
Vue.prototype.$mount = function (
  el?: string | Element,
  hydrating?: boolean
): Component {
  el = el && inBrowser ? query(el) : undefined
  // 渲染组件
  return mountComponent(this, el, hydrating)
}

Calling

mountComponentRendering component

export function mountComponent (
  vm: Component,
  el: ?Element,
  hydrating?: boolean
): Component {
  vm.$el = el
  // 如果没有获取解析的render函数，则会抛出警告
  // render是解析模板文件生成的
  if (!vm.$options.render) {
    vm.$options.render = createEmptyVNode
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
      /* istanbul ignore if */
      if ((vm.$options.template && vm.$options.template.charAt(0) !== '#') ||
        vm.$options.el || el) {
        warn(
          'You are using the runtime-only build of Vue where the template ' +
          'compiler is not available. Either pre-compile the templates into ' +
          'render functions, or use the compiler-included build.',
          vm
        )
      } else {
        // 没有获取到vue的模板文件
        warn(
          'Failed to mount component: template or render function not defined.',
          vm
        )
      }
    }
  }
  // 执行beforeMount钩子
  callHook(vm, 'beforeMount')

  let updateComponent
  /* istanbul ignore if */
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && config.performance && mark) {
    updateComponent = () => {
      const name = vm._name
      const id = vm._uid
      const startTag = `vue-perf-start:${id}`
      const endTag = `vue-perf-end:${id}`

      mark(startTag)
      const vnode = vm._render()
      mark(endTag)
      measure(`vue ${name} render`, startTag, endTag)

      mark(startTag)
      vm._update(vnode, hydrating)
      mark(endTag)
      measure(`vue ${name} patch`, startTag, endTag)
    }
  } else {
    // 定义更新函数
    updateComponent = () => {
      // 实际调⽤是在lifeCycleMixin中定义的_update和renderMixin中定义的_render
      vm._update(vm._render(), hydrating)
    }
  }
  // we set this to vm._watcher inside the watcher's constructor
  // since the watcher's initial patch may call $forceUpdate (e.g. inside child
  // component's mounted hook), which relies on vm._watcher being already defined
  // 监听当前组件状态，当有数据变化时，更新组件
  new Watcher(vm, updateComponent, noop, {
    before () {
      if (vm._isMounted && !vm._isDestroyed) {
        // 数据更新引发的组件更新
        callHook(vm, 'beforeUpdate')
      }
    }
  }, true /* isRenderWatcher */)
  hydrating = false

  // manually mounted instance, call mounted on self
  // mounted is called for render-created child components in its inserted hook
  if (vm.$vnode == null) {
    vm._isMounted = true
    callHook(vm, 'mounted')
  }
  return vm
}

Reading the above code, we get the following conclusion:

will trigger the
• beforeCreate hook
define
• updateComponentmethod to render the page view
Listen to component data, and once it changes, trigger
• beforeUpdatelife hook

updateComponent method is mainly executed during vue initialization The declared render, update methods

render are mainly used to generate vnode

source code Location:

src/core/instance/render.js

// 定义vue 原型上的render方法
Vue.prototype._render = function (): VNode {
    const vm: Component = this
    // render函数来自于组件的option
    const { render, _parentVnode } = vm.$options

    if (_parentVnode) {
        vm.$scopedSlots = normalizeScopedSlots(
            _parentVnode.data.scopedSlots,
            vm.$slots,
            vm.$scopedSlots
        )
    }

    // set parent vnode. this allows render functions to have access
    // to the data on the placeholder node.
    vm.$vnode = _parentVnode
    // render self
    let vnode
    try {
        // There's no need to maintain a stack because all render fns are called
        // separately from one another. Nested component's render fns are called
        // when parent component is patched.
        currentRenderingInstance = vm
        // 调用render方法，自己的独特的render方法， 传入createElement参数，生成vNode
        vnode = render.call(vm._renderProxy, vm.$createElement)
    } catch (e) {
        handleError(e, vm, `render`)
        // return error render result,
        // or previous vnode to prevent render error causing blank component
        /* istanbul ignore else */
        if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && vm.$options.renderError) {
            try {
                vnode = vm.$options.renderError.call(vm._renderProxy, vm.$createElement, e)
            } catch (e) {
                handleError(e, vm, `renderError`)
                vnode = vm._vnode
            }
        } else {
            vnode = vm._vnode
        }
    } finally {
        currentRenderingInstance = null
    }
    // if the returned array contains only a single node, allow it
    if (Array.isArray(vnode) && vnode.length === 1) {
        vnode = vnode[0]
    }
    // return empty vnode in case the render function errored out
    if (!(vnode instanceof VNode)) {
        if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && Array.isArray(vnode)) {
            warn(
                'Multiple root nodes returned from render function. Render function ' +
                'should return a single root node.',
                vm
            )
        }
        vnode = createEmptyVNode()
    }
    // set parent
    vnode.parent = _parentVnode
    return vnode
}

_updateThe main function is to call patch and insert vnodeConvert to realDOM, and update to the page

Source code location:

src/core/instance/lifecycle.js

Vue.prototype._update = function (vnode: VNode, hydrating?: boolean) {
    const vm: Component = this
    const prevEl = vm.$el
    const prevVnode = vm._vnode
    // 设置当前激活的作用域
    const restoreActiveInstance = setActiveInstance(vm)
    vm._vnode = vnode
    // Vue.prototype.__patch__ is injected in entry points
    // based on the rendering backend used.
    if (!prevVnode) {
      // initial render
      // 执行具体的挂载逻辑
      vm.$el = vm.__patch__(vm.$el, vnode, hydrating, false /* removeOnly */)
    } else {
      // updates
      vm.$el = vm.__patch__(prevVnode, vnode)
    }
    restoreActiveInstance()
    // update __vue__ reference
    if (prevEl) {
      prevEl.__vue__ = null
    }
    if (vm.$el) {
      vm.$el.__vue__ = vm
    }
    // if parent is an HOC, update its $el as well
    if (vm.$vnode && vm.$parent && vm.$vnode === vm.$parent._vnode) {
      vm.$parent.$el = vm.$el
    }
    // updated hook is called by the scheduler to ensure that children are
    // updated in a parent's updated hook.
  }

三、结论

• new Vue的时候会调用_init方法
  • 定义$set、$get、$delete、$watch等方法
  • 定义$on、$off、$emit、$off等事件
  • 定义_update、$forceUpdate、$destory生命周期
• 调用$mount进行页面的挂载
• 挂载的时候主要是通过mountComponent方法
• 定义updateComponent更新函数
• 执行render生成虚拟DOM
• _update将虚拟DOM生成真实DOM结构，并且渲染到页面中
