Summary: In YogaKit, nodes are not dirtied when `sizeThatFits` of leaf nodes change. This makes it difficult to reuse views like `UILabel` when their content (text) changes. I wrote a failing test to prove it and wrote a fix by caching the latest value of `sizeThatFits` in `YGNodeBridge` and checking for changes in `YGAttachNodesFromViewHierachy` (renamed to `YGUpdateNodesFromViewHierachy` to make it clear it's not simply reattaching nodes anymore). When a new size is detected, I call `YGNodeMarkDirty` on the leaf node. **Unfortunately**, this makes another test fail for no logical reason (`testThatViewNotIncludedInFirstLayoutPassAreIncludedInSecond`). Either there's something I don't understand or I've un-advertedly unearthed a bug in the C implementation, but in what case would setting a node dirty make the layout return a different size?

Yoga 
Building
Yoga builds with buck. Make sure you install buck before contributing to Yoga. Yoga's main implementation is in C, with bindings to supported languages and frameworks. When making changes to Yoga please ensure the changes are also propagated to these bindings when applicable.
Testing
For testing we rely on gtest as a submodule. After cloning Yoga run git submodule init
followed by git submodule update
.
For any changes you make you should ensure that all the tests are passing. In case you make any fixes or additions to the library please also add tests for that change to ensure we don't break anything in the future. Tests are located in the tests
directory. Run the tests by executing buck test //:yoga
.
Instead of manually writing a test which ensures parity with web implementations of Flexbox you can run gentest/gentest.rb
to generated a test for you. You can write html which you want to verify in Yoga, in gentest/fixtures
folder, such as the following.
<div id="my_test" style="width: 100px; height: 100px; align-items: center;">
<div style="width: 50px; height: 50px;"></div>
</div>
Run gentest/gentest.rb
to generate test code and re-run buck test //:yoga
to validate the behavior. One test case will be generated for every root div
in the input html.
You may need to install the latest watir-webdriver gem (gem install watir-webdriver
) and ChromeDriver to run gentest/gentest.rb
Ruby script.
.NET
.NET testing is not integrated in buck yet, you might need to set up .NET testing environment. We have a script which to launch C# test on macOS, csharp/tests/Facebook.Yoga/test_macos.sh
.
Code style
For the main C implementation of Yoga clang-format is used to ensure a consistent code style. Please run bash format.sh
before submitting a pull request. For other languages just try to follow the current code style.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks are located in benchmarks/YGBenchmark.c
and can be run with buck run //benchmarks:benchmarks
. If you think your change has affected performance please run this before and after your change to validate that nothing has regressed. Benchmarks are run on every commit in CI.
