This PR tries to address some issues that were not addressed by #6395 and issues pointed out by @benmccann and @ankitstarski

  • An img element's src value should only be set if it is not the expected value. This check existed, but failed to account for relative paths which were returned as absolute paths when checking img.src.
  • Existing nodes under <head> that are not claimed but also not detached should be ignored by init_hydrate. These nodes have node.claim_order === undefined
  • The function claim_html_tag should also set claim_order.

Edit:

  • Add a fast path to init_hydrate for when most of the nodes are on the longest increasing subsequence.
  • Improve claims for text nodes: There are many cases where we try to only claim a prefix of the text node. In these cases, we can use splitText to actually only claim the prefix. (Merging text siblings might help further Optimise parsed AST #3766)

Edit2:

Potential issues:

  • Is it possible that location is overwritten at a local scope by the compiler? This would cause URL normalization to break.

@benmccann Does this fix the image flickering issue that you encountered by any chance? This time, I tried to normalize both sides of the equality.

It didn't help. I can't figure out what's causing it. It stops both if I turn off hydration and if I remove my global stylesheet. I can't find a line of code that's clearly causing it though, so I guess we should just ignore it for now. I'll let you know if I find anything else. I think you could probably revert the double URL normalization from 243c562 since it didn't help because it seems like extra code and CPU time without benefit

I added the double URL normalization because I couldn't find a proper spec that clearly mentions that reading the .src attribute should always return the full absolute URL. (Maybe I missed it)

I saw a mention here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement
but not here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement/src
and also not here https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#dom-img-src

Makes sense. I suppose I could see it working differently in different browsers in that case

Is it possible to add tests that would fail without these fixes?

@dummdidumm I believe hydration/head-meta-hydrate-duplicate as it is here fails in master and passes with this pull request. My modifying that test in #6395 was erroneous (I had assumed that the order of those nodes in head would not matter). This pull request reverts that test to how it was earlier.

I tested that this fixes #6506, which reordered body content

@benmccann Interesting, but I don't understand how this PR would solve a body reordering issue. Does it involve claim_html_tag? (I likely won't have time to fully investigate on my own for the next couple of days.)

benmccann commented Jul 7, 2021

Ohh nevermind. I must have messed something up when testing earlier. That one appears to still be broken. Would you be able to take a look at it?

Normalize src values before checking equality
Set `claim_order` in claim_html_tag
Normalize both sides of the equality to be sure
Do not create array from children if not needed
Split an existing text node if we match the prefix

@hbirler it looks like this PR will need to be rebased

I'm a little concerned about using the URL API. Are there other places in Svelte itself (not in SvelteKit or Sapper) where we're using things that would need to be polyfilled on IE11? (Note that I'm specifically wondering about things that need to be polyfilled, and not things that need to be transpiled.)

Is there another way we could do this, like with a shared anchor element outside of the DOM that we set and check the href of?

@Conduitry do you mean something like the following:

const relative_to_absolute = (function() {
    var anchor = document.createElement('a');
    return function(url) {
        anchor.href = url;
        return anchor.href;
    }
})();

I used the URL API since I assumed it would be faster but I did not actually check whether it is.

Additionally Array.from seems to not be supported in IE11 and it is used in many places in the code. So it would need to be polyfilled.

I'm a bit concerned about the potential performance impact of mutating a DOM element everytime we want to do this check. It might be better to just manually construct the string using window.location in the case that we want to avoid using URL

But, as far as I'm aware, we don't need to fully canonicalize a URL. We just need to prepend the hostname when comparing to an a.href

@hbirler

hbirler commented Jul 8, 2021

Is it not possible that the relative URL looks like ../../image.png?

@benmccann

That still seems doable to handle. Another option might be to just remove that particular optimization if it's getting too complicated. I doubt that setting img.src is any more expensive than setting a.href to calculate if the URLs are the same. It didn't seem to be causing a second network request for the image. Or was it also causing the whole img tag and/or subsequent/previous tags to be reinserted?

I believe it was causing a visual flicker.

In a surprising turn of events, using the anchor seems to actually be faster https://jsbench.me/stkqvbw6qj/2

Use an anchor element's href attribute to convert relative paths to absolute paths

I can't argue with that!

Has this actually been tested in IE11 ? I remember some weird bug that assigning href with a relative path would not turn it into an absolute url. You had to explicitly assign it again like a.href = a.href before returning it.

There's not a huge impact if this doesn't work in IE11. They simply won't get the optimization. I don't think anyone would even notice. So I probably wouldn't let it hold up this PR

@dominikg The polyfill library seems to not need the trick you described for IE8+ https://github.com/Financial-Times/polyfill-library/blob/master/polyfills/URL/polyfill.js#L344
Maybe you would need that for IE6?

maybe. I remember it because it was a very strange thing way back when . Can't find references to it now and as Ben said if the worst thing that happens is IE users missing out on an optimization...
