#![warn(clippy::pedantic)]
#![allow(clippy::cast_possible_truncation)]

//! This module contains the stateful [`DiffState`] and all methods to diff [`VNodes`], their properties, and their children.
//!
//! The [`DiffState`] calculates the diffs between the old and new frames, updates the new nodes, and generates a set
//! of mutations for the [`RealDom`] to apply.
//!
//! ## Notice:
//!
//! The inspiration and code for this module was originally taken from Dodrio (@fitzgen) and then modified to support
//! Components, Fragments, Suspense, [`SubTree`] memoization, incremental diffing, cancellation, [`NodeRefs`], pausing, priority
//! scheduling, and additional batching operations.
//!
//! ## Implementation Details:
//!
//! ### IDs for elements
//! --------------------
//! All nodes are addressed by their IDs. The [`RealDom`] provides an imperative interface for making changes to these nodes.
//! We don't necessarily require that DOM changes happen instantly during the diffing process, so the implementor may choose
//! to batch nodes if it is more performant for their application. The element IDs are indices into the internal element
//! array. The expectation is that implementors will use the ID as an index into a Vec of real nodes, allowing for passive
//! garbage collection as the [`VirtualDOM`] replaces old nodes.
//!
//! When new vnodes are created through `cx.render`, they won't know which real node they correspond to. During diffing,
//! we always make sure to copy over the ID. If we don't do this properly, the [`ElementId`] will be populated incorrectly
//! and brick the user's page.
//!
//! ### Fragment Support
//! --------------------
//! Fragments (nodes without a parent) are supported through a combination of "replace with" and anchor vnodes. Fragments
//! can be particularly challenging when they are empty, so the anchor node lets us "reserve" a spot for the empty
//! fragment to be replaced with when it is no longer empty. This is guaranteed by logic in the [`NodeFactory`] - it is
//! impossible to craft a fragment with 0 elements - they must always have at least a single placeholder element. Adding
//! "dummy" nodes _is_ inefficient, but it makes our diffing algorithm faster and the implementation is completely up to
//! the platform.
//!
//! Other implementations either don't support fragments or use a "child + sibling" pattern to represent them. Our code is
//! vastly simpler and more performant when we can just create a placeholder element while the fragment has no children.
//!
//! ### Suspense
//! ------------
//! Dioxus implements Suspense slightly differently than React. In React, each fiber is manually progressed until it runs
//! into a promise-like value. React will then work on the next "ready" fiber, checking back on the previous fiber once
//! it has finished its new work. In Dioxus, we use a similar approach, but try to completely render the tree before
//! switching sub-fibers. Instead, each future is submitted into a futures-queue and the node is manually loaded later on.
//! Due to the frequent calls to [`yield_now`] we can get the pure "fetch-as-you-render" behavior of React Fiber.
//!
//! We're able to use this approach because we use placeholder nodes - futures that aren't ready still get submitted to
//! DOM, but as a placeholder.
//!
//! Right now, the "suspense" queue is intertwined with hooks. In the future, we should allow any future to drive attributes
//! and contents, without the need for the [`use_suspense`] hook. In the interim, this is the quickest way to get Suspense working.
//!
//! ## Subtree Memoization
//! -----------------------
//! We also employ "subtree memoization" which saves us from having to check trees which hold no dynamic content. We can
//! detect if a subtree is "static" by checking if its children are "static". Since we dive into the tree depth-first, the
//! calls to "create" propagate this information upwards. Structures like the one below are entirely static:
//! ```rust, ignore
//! rsx!( div { class: "hello world", "this node is entirely static" } )
//! ```
//! Because the subtrees won't be diffed, their "real node" data will be stale (invalid), so it's up to the reconciler to
//! track nodes created in a scope and clean up all relevant data. Support for this is currently WIP and depends on comp-time
//! hashing of the subtree from the rsx! macro. We do a very limited form of static analysis via static string pointers as
//! a way of short-circuiting the most expensive checks.
//!
//! ## Bloom Filter and Heuristics
//! ------------------------------
//! For all components, we employ some basic heuristics to speed up allocations and pre-size bump arenas. The heuristics are
//! currently very rough, but will get better as time goes on. The information currently tracked includes the size of a
//! bump arena after first render, the number of hooks, and the number of nodes in the tree.
//!
//! ## Garbage Collection
//! ---------------------
//! Dioxus uses a passive garbage collection system to clean up old nodes once the work has been completed. This garbage
//! collection is done internally once the main diffing work is complete. After the "garbage" is collected, Dioxus will then
//! start to re-use old keys for new nodes. This results in a passive memory management system that is very efficient.
//!
//! The IDs used by the key/map are just an index into a Vec. This means that Dioxus will drive the key allocation strategy
//! so the client only needs to maintain a simple list of nodes. By default, Dioxus will not manually clean up old nodes
//! for the client. As new nodes are created, old nodes will be over-written.
//!
//! ## Further Reading and Thoughts
//! ----------------------------
//! There are more ways of increasing diff performance here that are currently not implemented.
//! - Strong memoization of subtrees.
//! - Guided diffing.
//! - Certain web-dom-specific optimizations.
//!
//! More info on how to improve this diffing algorithm:
