Summary: More fine grained dirty marking Currently a node's dirty flag propagates to the root of the tree ensuring that when any node is invalidated its whole subtree will be re-calculated. This is often times not needed. There are many properties which only effects a node's children and would not need to propagate all the way to the root such as align-items. Also in cases where the style does change layout it may not need to propagate all the way to the root but can often stop at the nearest position: absolute parent. This change has the potential of greatly improving performance of re-calculating a tree. This might require adding a second dirty flag named hasDirtyDescendants ensuring that traversal still works even though a parent is not marked as dirty.

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 benchmark/YGBenchmark.c and can be run with buck run //benchmark:benchmark. 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.
JavaScript
Installing through NPM
npm install yoga-layout
By default this will install the library and try to build for all platforms (node, browser asm, and standalone webpack). You may receive errors if you do not have the required platform development tools already installed. To preset the platform you'd like to build for you can set a .npmrc property first.
npm config set yoga-layout:platform standalone
This will now only run the standalone webpack build upon install.
Build Platforms
| name | description |
|---|---|
| all (default) | Builds all of these platforms. |
| browser | Builds asm js browser version. |
| node | Builds node js version. |
| standalone | Runs webpack. |
| none | Does nothing. You can use the prepackaged libs. |
