菜鸡学源码Vue —— (_render()做了什么)

回顾

上节讲到了Vue的实例化过程，实际上就是调用了updateComponent()中的_render()生成虚拟化dom，_update()将虚拟化dom生成真实的dom，那么本节来看一下_render()的内部实现

1.调用$createElement生成虚拟dom
src/core/instance/render.js

Vue.prototype._render = function (): VNode {
  const vm: Component = this
  const { render, _parentVnode } = vm.$options

  // reset _rendered flag on slots for duplicate slot check
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
    for (const key in vm.$slots) {
      // $flow-disable-line
      vm.$slots[key]._rendered = false
    }
  }

  if (_parentVnode) {
    vm.$scopedSlots = _parentVnode.data.scopedSlots || emptyObject
  }

  // set parent vnode. this allows render functions to have access
  // to the data on the placeholder node.
  vm.$vnode = _parentVnode
  // render self
  let vnode
  try {
    vnode = render.call(vm._renderProxy, vm.$createElement)
  } catch (e) {
    handleError(e, vm, `render`)
    // return error render result,
    // or previous vnode to prevent render error causing blank component
    /* istanbul ignore else */
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
      if (vm.$options.renderError) {
        try {
          vnode = vm.$options.renderError.call(vm._renderProxy, vm.$createElement, e)
        } catch (e) {
          handleError(e, vm, `renderError`)
          vnode = vm._vnode
        }
      } else {
        vnode = vm._vnode
      }
    } else {
      vnode = vm._vnode
    }
  }
  // return empty vnode in case the render function errored out
  if (!(vnode instanceof VNode)) {
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && Array.isArray(vnode)) {
      warn(
        'Multiple root nodes returned from render function. Render function ' +
        'should return a single root node.',
        vm
      )
    }
    vnode = createEmptyVNode()
  }
  // set parent
  vnode.parent = _parentVnode
  return vnode
}

2. vm.$createElement由_c与$createElement定义，_c是编译生成render()使用，$createElement则是自定义render()时使用 src/core/instance/render.js

export function initRender (vm: Component) {
  // ...
  // bind the createElement fn to this instance
  // so that we get proper render context inside it.
  // args order: tag, data, children, normalizationType, alwaysNormalize
  // internal version is used by render functions compiled from templates
  vm._c = (a, b, c, d) => createElement(vm, a, b, c, d, false)
  // normalization is always applied for the public version, used in
  // user-written render functions.
  vm.$createElement = (a, b, c, d) => createElement(vm, a, b, c, d, true)
}

tips: 本节比较简单，实际上render()实现就是返回了一个由vm.$createElement生成的vnode,而这个$createElement函数定义就是在第一节讲到的Vue初始化中执行的initRender()中
