This article mainly introduces the controlled components and uncontrolled components of React in-depth programming. Now I will share it with you and give you a reference.

There is not much information about controlled components and uncontrolled components on the official website and domestic websites. Some people think it is optional and don't care. This just shows the power of React to meet the needs of projects of different sizes. For example, if you just do a simple data display like ListView and capture the data, then a for loop and {} are enough. However, there are a large number of reports in the background system, and different forms are linked together. Without controlled components, it really won't work.

Controlled components and uncontrolled components are the entry points for React to process forms. From the perspective of React, the author must let the data control everything, or simply understand that the generation and update of the page must faithfully execute the JSX instructions.

But form elements have their own special features. Users can change the display of the interface through keyboard input and mouse selection. The change of the interface also means that some data has been changed. The more obvious ones are the value of the input, the innerHTML of the textarea, and the checked of the radio/checkbox. The less obvious ones are the selected and selectedIndex of the option, which are passively modified.

 <input value="{this.state.value}"/>

When the input.value is taken from the component's state.value, when the user makes an input modification, and then JSX refreshes the view again, then the input.value takes the user's new value or the state's new value. value? Based on this disagreement, React gave a compromise solution that was supported by both, and today's topic was born.

React believes that value/checked cannot exist alone and needs to be used together with onInput/onChange/disabed/readOnly and other properties or events that control value/checked. Together they form a controlled component, which is controlled by JSX. If the user does not write these additional properties and events, the framework will add some events to it internally, such as onClick, onInput, and onChange, preventing you from inputting or selecting, and preventing you from modifying its value. Inside the framework, there is a stubborn variable, which I call persistValue, that keeps the value last assigned to it by JSX and can only be modified by internal events.

So we can assert that the controlled component can control the value through events.

In controlled components, persistValue can always be refreshed.

Let’s look at the uncontrolled components again. Since value/checked has been occupied, React enables another set of ignored attributes defaultValue/defaultChecked in HTML. It is generally believed that they are similar to value/checked, that is, when value does not exist, the value of defaultValue is regarded as value.

We have said above that the display of form elements is controlled by the internal persistValue, so defaultXXX will also synchronize persistValue, and then persistValue will synchronize the DOM. However, the starting point of uncontrolled components is to be loyal to user operations. If the user

input.value = "xxxx"

and later

<input defaultvalue="{this.state.value}"/>
Copy after login

in the code will no longer take effect, it will always be xxxx.

How does it do this, and how to identify whether the modification comes from inside or outside the framework? I looked through the source code of React, and it turns out that it has a thing called valueTracker to track the user's input

var tracker = {
  getValue: function () {
   return currentValue;
  },
  setValue: function (value) {
   currentValue = &#39;&#39; + value;
  },
  stopTracking: function () {
   detachTracker(node);
   delete node[valueField];
  }
 };
 return tracker;
}

This thing is entered into the value/checked of the element through Object.defineProperty, so it knows the user Assign a value to it.

But value/checked are still two core attributes, involving too many internal mechanisms (such as value and oninput, onchange, input method events oncompositionstart,

compositionchange, oncompositionend, onpaste, oncut), in order to modify value/checked smoothly,

also needs to use Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor. If I want to be compatible with IE8, there is no such advanced gadget. I take another safer way and

only use Object.defineProperty to modify defaultValue/defaultChecked.

First I add an _uncontrolled attribute to the element to indicate that I have hijacked defaultXXX. Then add another switch, _observing, in the set method describing the object (the third parameter of Object.defineProperty). When the view is updated inside the frame, this value is false. After the update, it is set to true.

This way you will know whether input.defaultValue = "xxx" was modified by the user or the framework.

if (!dom._uncontrolled) {
  dom._uncontrolled = true;
  inputMonitor.observe(dom, name); //重写defaultXXX的setter/getter
}
dom._observing = false;//此时是框架在修改视图,因此需要关闭开关
dom[name] = val;
dom._observing = true;//打开开关,来监听用户的修改行为

The implementation of inputMonitor is as follows

export var inputMonitor = {};
var rcheck = /checked|radio/;
var describe = {
  set: function(value) {
    var controllProp = rcheck.test(this.type) ? "checked" : "value";
    if (this.type === "textarea") {
      this.innerHTML = value;
    }
    if (!this._observing) {
      if (!this._setValue) {
        //defaultXXX只会同步一次_persistValue
        var parsedValue = (this[controllProp] = value);
        this._persistValue = Array.isArray(value) ? value : parsedValue;
        this._setValue = true;
      }
    } else {
      //如果用户私下改变defaultValue,那么_setValue会被抺掉
      this._setValue = value == null ? false : true;
    }
    this._defaultValue = value;
  },
  get: function() {
    return this._defaultValue;
  },
  configurable: true
};
 
inputMonitor.observe = function(dom, name) {
  try {
    if ("_persistValue" in dom) {
      dom._setValue = true;
    }
    Object.defineProperty(dom, name, describe);
  } catch (e) {}
};

I accidentally posted such a brain-burning code. This is a bad habit of coders. However, at this point, everyone understands that both official react and anu/qreact control user input through Object.defineProperty.

So we can understand the behavior of the following code

  var a = ReactDOM.render(<textarea defaultValue="foo" />, container);
  ReactDOM.render(<textarea defaultValue="bar" />, container);
  ReactDOM.render(<textarea defaultValue="noise" />, container);
  expect(a.defaultValue).toBe("noise");
  expect(a.value).toBe("foo");
  expect(a.textContent).toBe("noise");
  expect(a.innerHTML).toBe("noise");
Copy after login

Since the user has not manually modified the defaultValue, dom._setValue has always been false/undefined, so _persistValue can always be modified.

Another example:

var renderTextarea = function(component, container) {
  if (!container) {
    container = document.createElement("p");
  }
  const node = ReactDOM.render(component, container);
  node.defaultValue = node.innerHTML.replace(/^\n/, "");
  return node;
};
 
const container = document.createElement("p");
//注意这个方法,用户在renderTextarea中手动改变了defaultValue,_setValue就变成true
const node = renderTextarea(<textarea defaultValue="giraffe" />, container);
 
expect(node.value).toBe("giraffe");
 
// _setValue后,gorilla就不能同步到_persistValue,因此还是giraffe
renderTextarea(<textarea defaultValue="gorilla" />, container);
// expect(node.value).toEqual("giraffe");
 
node.value = "cat";
// 这个又是什么回事了呢,因此非监控属性是在diffProps中批量处理的,在监控属性,则是在更后的方法中处理
// 检测到node.value !== _persistValue,于是重写 _persistValue = node.value,于是输出cat
renderTextarea(<textarea defaultValue="monkey" />, container);
expect(node.value).toEqual("cat");
Copy after login

Plain text class: text, textarea, JSX value, always converted to string

type="number" control, value It is always a number. If it is not filled in or is "", it will be converted to "0"

radio has a linkage effect. Only one radio control with the same name under the same parent node can be selected.

select's value/defaultValue supports arrays and does not perform conversion. However, if the user adds or deletes the underlying option elements, selected will change accordingly.

In addition, selection can be divided into fuzzy matching and exact matching.

//精确匹配
var dom = ReactDOM.render(
  <select value={222}>
    <option value={111}>aaa</option>
    <option value={"222"}>xxx</option>
    <option value={222}>bbb</option>
    <option value={333}>ccc</option>
  </select>,
  container
);
expect(dom.options[2].selected).toBe(true);//选中第三个
Copy after login
//模糊匹配
var dom = ReactDOM.render(
  <select value={222}>
    <option value={111}>aaa</option>
    <option value={"222"}>xxx</option>
    <option value={333}>ccc</option>
  </select>,
  container
);
expect(dom.options[2].selected).toBe(true);//选中第二个
Copy after login

凡此种种,React/anu都是做了大量工作,迷你如preact/react-lite之流则可能遇坑。

上面是我整理给大家的,希望今后会对大家有帮助。
