A simple Vue renderer implementation

Basic steps to implement the renderer

1. Generate virtual DOM (vNode) from h function
1. The DOM is mounted to the page using the mount function
1. Through the patch function to compare the difference between the old and new nodes, a new DOM is generated to hang on the page

Create h function

Function h is mainly used to generate the virtual DOM. The virtual DOM contains tags (DOM tag names), props (tag attributes, bound events, etc.), and childrens (consisting mainly of the word elements of the node, which may be text types or DOM nodes).

const h = (tag, props, childrens) = > {
  return {
    tag,
    props,
    childrens,
  };
};

Create the mount function

The first step is to clarify what the mount function does
- 1. Generate real DOM nodes
- 1. Bind attributes, events, and so on to dom nodes
- 1. Iterate through all the child nodes and add the child elements of the parent node after 1,2, and 2 steps
- 1. Mounts the generated DOM to the specified DOM node

// Map the virtual DOM to the real DOM and mount it to the DOM
const mount = (vnode, container) = > {
  const { tag, props, childrens } = vnode;
  // Create a label
  const el = (vnode.el = document.createElement(tag));
  / / processing props
  if (props) {
    Object.keys(props).forEach((key) = > {
      if (key.startsWith("on")) {
        el.addEventListener(key.slice(2).toLowerCase(), props[key]);
      } else{ el.setAttribute(key, props[key]); }}); }/ / deal with childrens
  if (childrens) {
    if (typeof childrens === "string") {
      el.innerText = childrens;
    } else {
      childrens.forEach((child) = >{ mount(child, el); }); }}/ / a mount
  container.appendChild(el);
};
Copy the code

Create patch function

The patch function is mainly used to compare the differences between the old and new nodes, and then generate new nodes to mount into the DOM
- 1. Compare the labels of two nodes. If they are inconsistent, remove the original node from the DOM and mount the new node
- 1. If the tags of two nodes are consistent, the attributes and events of the tags are compared
- 1. Contrast descendant element

const patch = (v1, v2) = > {
  // Compare the two DOM tags to see if they match
  if(v1.tag ! == v2.tag) {const v1ParentEl = v1.el.parentElement;
    v1ParentEl.removeChild(v1.el);
    mount(v2, v1ParentEl);
  } else {
    // Take the Element object and save it to v2
    const el = (v2.el = v1.el);

    // Handle props for old and new nodes
    const newProps = v2.props || {};
    const oldProps = v1.props || {};

    // Remove the properties in the old props, and add the new props properties to the element
    Object.keys(newProps).forEach((key) = > {
      if (key.startsWith("on")) {
        el.addEventListener(key.slice(2).toLowerCase(), newProps[key]);
      } else{ el.setAttribute(key, newProps[key]); }});Object.keys(oldProps).forEach((key) = > {
      if (key.startsWith("on")) {
        el.removeEventListener(key.slice(2).toLowerCase(), oldProps[key]);
      } else{ el.removeAttribute(key, oldProps[key]); }});// Handle elements in Childrens
    const newChilds = v2.childrens;
    const oldChilds = v1.childrens;
    // If newChilds is String
    if (typeof newChilds === "string") {
      // oldChilds is also String
      if (typeof newChilds === "string") {
        if (newChilds !== oldChilds) {
          el.innerText = newChilds;
        }
      } else{ el.innerText = newChilds; }}else {
      // If newChilds is Array
      if (typeof oldChilds === "string") {
        el.innerHTML = "";
        newChilds.forEach((item) = > {
          mount(item, el);
        });
      } else {
        /** * newChilds: [v1, v2, v3, v4] * oldChilds: [v1, v6] * **/
        // Patch the same node first
        const commonLength = Math.min(newChilds.length, oldChilds.length);
        for (let i = 0; i < commonLength; i++) {
          patch(oldChilds[i], newChilds[i]);
        }

        // when newchilds.length > oldchilds.length
        if (newChilds.length > oldChilds.length) {
          newChilds.slice(commonLength).forEach((item) = > {
            mount(item, el);
          });
        } else {
          oldChilds.slice(commonLength).forEach((item) = >{ el.removeChild(item.el); }); }}}}};Copy the code

Write in the last

Such a simple version of the renderer is realized, several functions have a lot of need to deal with the boundary case, in this case, just to help the individual learning process of digestion and absorption, a better understanding of the renderer’s execution process.
