This commit reworks the props validation code in order to extract a
generic validate utility function. The validation should be more robust,
with better error messages, and at the same time, it supports `*` in a
shape object.
And as a bonus, it is now typesafe, and the static props object is now
typed.

Previously, components would automatically call useState on their props,
so that changes deeply within props would automatically cause the
component to be rendered. This can be useful when passing a piece of
state to children or descendants.
One problem with this is that all props implicitly become reactive, even
if the object that was passed as a props was not. The problem with that
being that since the original object is not reactive, any change made by
the parent will not go through the reactivity system and the children
won't be notified of the change, in essence, this reactive object is
essentially useless, while having a real cost: traversing reactive
objects creates more reactive objects, and those objects are all
proxies. This is expensive for basically no benefit, while also making
it more difficult to debug code that involves those objects.
This commit fixes that by only calling useState on objects that are
already reactive, allowing the usecase described in the first paragraph
without the drawbacks described in the second.
If you declare a child component which is not actually a Component,
the error message is not very friendly and not very helpfull to find
what happens and which child component is wrong.
```
const ChildComponent = "not a component constructor";
class MyComponent extends Component {
static components = { ChildComponent };
}
```
This commit improves the type declaration for those working with Typescript
and adds a runtime check for javascript codebases
With this commit, we make sure that the `render` method was explicitely
called with the deep === true argument, instead of assuming that it is a
boolean. This prevents errors when some unrelated value is given to the
render method. This could happen in some cases, such as
useBus(someBus, 'someevent', this.render)
In that case, the `useBus` code would simply call the this.render with a
customevent, which would be considered truthy before, and not anymore
Before this commit, the list of all children was managed at the level of
the root fiber, but this could cause issue when subfibers would be
reused. With this commit, we use the childrenMap object that exists on
each fiber instead.
Canceling a fiber may cause user code to be run, which means that some
new renderings could be scheduled, but this could interfere with the
current renderings!
This is a breaking semantic change. With this commit, the UI is frozen
whenever owl is waiting for a parent to change
Also, this allows Owl not to render components that will be removed
later.
This allows to see which objects and which keys in those objects a
component is observing, so that issues with missing renders or extra
renders can be more easily diagnosed.
With this commit, component only render child
components if they have different props (shallow
equality). Otherwise, we trust the reactivity
system to make sure that all impacted components
are updated
Have a GrandParent which controls whether one of its GrandChildren is displayed or not.
First, the GrandChild is displayed. Then, change the state of the GrandParent in order to kill
the GrandChild.
Before this commit the GrandChild is only removed from the DOM, as bdom correctly works.
But it is not destroyed.
After this commit, the GrandChild is correctly destroyed.
Every use case involving some sort of key set on a component would give birth to a leak in an async context:
- If a key of a component changed, the outdated one was never destroyed.
- destroyed component were never removed from their parent's reference map.
This commit solves both issues, that are tightly linked anyway.
Have a component which does a render in its onWillPatch, onPatched, onMounted hooks.
Before this commit, the result was incorrect: the second rendering was not taken into account.
After this commit, those renderings are correctly applied at the price of a delayed render when the fiber
is in a critical state.
Have a child component on which a render is triggered.
This component delays its willUpdateProps and makes a rendering during the willUpdateProps
Before this commit, renderings of the child were inconsistent across
its parent's renderings.
After this commit, it works as expected.
In the following situation: A parent of B, B parent of C, with an error
when C is mounted, caught by B and retriggering a rendering in B, then
the onMounted hook of A wasn't properly called. This commit fixes this
problem.
When a parent and a child were rendered at the same time, it was
possible for the 2 renders to decrement the same fiber internal
counter, which meant that the render was stalled.
The slot inner working has been reworked. A prop "slots" is now passed
explicitely to the component. It looks like
{ slotName_1: slotInfo_1, ..., slotName_m: slotInfo_m }
with the objects slotInfo_i with mandatory keys "__render", "__ctx",
and optional key "__scope" and possibly others.
Here is how a slotInfo object can be created:
A slotInfo object is normally created by setting in a template something
like
<div>
<t t-set-slot="foo" t-set-scope="scope" param_1="var" param_2="3">
content
<t t-esc="scope.bool"/>
<t t-esc="scope.num"/>
</t>
</div>
and it will be used somewhere like
<div>
<t t-esc="props.slots.foo.param_1"/>
<t t-slot="foo" bool="other_var" num="5">
</div>
In the above example, the function "__render" produces the block dom
element for the content of the t-set-slot.
The context "__ctx" will have a key "scope" with value { bool: ..., num: 5 }
and "__scope" will be set to "scope".
This commit makes the reactivity system more fine grained and makes it
more eager to stop observing keys or objects when they are modified,
this results in fewer "false positive" notifications.
Have a Child Compnent which has one component that succeeds and another
one that fails at its instanciation.
The Child component handles the Errors by rendering itself.
Before this commit, the error handling algorithm made impossible for the scheduler to finish.
This was because the current fiber was still counted as ongoing, when it was actually completed.
After this commit, this use case is handled correctly.
Aim to replace the abstraction "Context" from OWL 1 with the new primitives
"atom" and "useState":
- notification is done only after a batch of modifications.
- observers are notified at most once for a batch.
- an observer of type component is notified (and rerendered)
only if it does not have an ancestor that has to be notified for the
same batch of operations (anywhere in the web of references!).
- notification of components is done on all levels "simultaneously".

The CSS tag is useful to define a css stylesheet in the javascript file:
```js
class MyComponent extends Component {
static template = xml`
<div class="my-component">some template</div>
`;
static style = css`
.my-component {
color: red;
}
`;
}
```
The `css` tag registers internally the css information. Then, whenever the first instance of the component is created, will add a <style> tag to the document <head>.
Original commit in Owl v1: 953778dc5
We reintroduce the possibility to mount the app in first position in
a target. The option "self" has been dropped since it is now possible
for a component to have several top level nodes.
Previously, when a component node had been created and destroyed, and
the corresponding component was then recreated, the destroyed node was
reused. This commit fixes that
