I've been reading react code base and understood react freeze children if it is on dev mode.
export function createElement(type, config, children) {
let propName;
// Reserved names are extracted
const props = {};
let key = null;
let ref = null;
let self = null;
let source = null;
if (config != null) {
if (hasValidRef(config)) {
ref = config.ref;
if (__DEV__) {
warnIfStringRefCannotBeAutoConverted(config);
}
}
if (hasValidKey(config)) {
if (__DEV__) {
checkKeyStringCoercion(config.key);
}
key = '' + config.key;
}
self = config.__self === undefined ? null : config.__self;
source = config.__source === undefined ? null : config.__source;
// Remaining properties are added to a new props object
for (propName in config) {
if (
hasOwnProperty.call(config, propName) &&
!RESERVED_PROPS.hasOwnProperty(propName)
) {
props[propName] = config[propName];
}
}
}
// Children can be more than one argument, and those are transferred onto
// the newly allocated props object.
const childrenLength = arguments.length - 2;
if (childrenLength === 1) {
props.children = children;
} else if (childrenLength > 1) {
const childArray = Array(childrenLength);
for (let i = 0; i < childrenLength; i++) {
childArray[i] = arguments[i + 2];
}
if (__DEV__) {
if (Object.freeze) {
Object.freeze(childArray);
}
}
props.children = childArray;
}
// Resolve default props
if (type && type.defaultProps) {
const defaultProps = type.defaultProps;
for (propName in defaultProps) {
if (props[propName] === undefined) {
props[propName] = defaultProps[propName];
}
}
}
if (__DEV__) {
if (key || ref) {
const displayName =
typeof type === 'function'
? type.displayName || type.name || 'Unknown'
: type;
if (key) {
defineKeyPropWarningGetter(props, displayName);
}
if (ref) {
defineRefPropWarningGetter(props, displayName);
}
}
}
return ReactElement(
type,
key,
ref,
self,
source,
ReactCurrentOwner.current,
props,
);
}
in fact I'm not able to understand why react use freeze method for childArray if it's environment been on the dev mode.
can anybody explain it to me?
thanks.
