Build: Prepare for more Script Modules #7360

@sirreal sirreal commented Sep 17, 2024

Rework the way that Script Modules are registered.

This is a companion to WordPress/gutenberg#65460 that requires porting to Core. Namely, the block-library changes require registration with their updated script module IDs so that the blocks continue to work correctly. This change is safe to land before the block-library package is updated.

  • "modules" webpack config is renamed "script-modules" aligning with Gutenberg and with the feature name.
  • Script Module registration is handled in one central place.
  • A combined assets file is used for Script Modules registration.
  • Block library Script Module assets that are enqueued on demand are registered in a centralized location. The assets are enqueued on demand. This solves the problem where Gutenberg-specific code is being shipped in Core.
  • The block library Script Module asset Module IDs are renamed to indicate they are view files and align with the naming from Build: Prepare build for more script modules gutenberg#65064, e.g. @wordpress/block-library/query is now @wordpress/block-library/query/view (indicating it is a view file).

A change landed in Gutenberg anticipating this change. It's essential to name the core function wp_default_script_modules accordingly or update Gutenberg:

https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/2632234b2bdd6ef8e8b89e7521d370cfa0041764/lib/client-assets.php#L652

This includes the necessary ports from WordPress/gutenberg#65460.

Why?

  • Registering Script Modules in several places is messy and difficult to maintain.
  • Script Modules dependency arrays and versions were manually maintained, which is error prone.
  • Some block library code included Gutenberg-specific functions and constants which is undesirable.

Testing Instructions

Try out this PR. Interactivity script modules (@wordpress/interactivity and @wordpress/interactivity-router) should be served from the script-modules directory.
I've added and reverted a commit that builds with the expected block-library changes soon to be included from Gutenberg. That specific commit can be used to test the block-library for future proof.

Try enabling and disabling SCRIPT_DEBUG. It should control the use of minified or non-minified assets. @wordpress/interactivity should use its debug version of the script with SCRIPT_DEBUG enabled.

This needs a rebase now after WP packages got synced from Gutenberg.

Rework how Script Modules are registered in Gutenberg.

Script Module registration is handled in one central place.

A combined assets file is used for Script Modules and registration. This
means that dependencies and versions will be used correctly and kept
up-to-date while avoiding repeated file reads.

Block library Script Module assets that are enqueued on demand _are
registered in a centralized location_. The assets are enqueued on
demand. **This requires a Core change** since the block library PHP
files are synced to Core and also require centralized Script Module
registration (WordPress/wordpress-develop#7360).

This solves a problem where Gutenberg-specific code was being shipped in
Core through block-library.

The block library Script Module asset Module IDs are renamed to indicate
they are view files and align with the naming from #65064:
@wordpress/block-library/query is @wordpress/block-library/query/view
(indicating it is a view file).

---

This is sufficient to change Script Modules to use Gutenberg in a
backwards compatible way:

- `@wordpress/ineractivity` and `@wordpress/interactivity-router` were
  registered on `wp_enqueue_scripts`. That action fires after the
  `wp_default_scripts` used here. Registering an already registered
  Script Module is a no-op. This change registers first.
- The only other Script Modules currently available in Core are from the
  block library. Those have been registered conditionally on use. The ID
  is changed here, so there's little risk of the wrong version being
  used.

There is a Core companion PR that will be necessary to land:
WordPress/wordpress-develop#7360

There are some test failures, it looks like an easy fix from the newly deprecated function:

Tests should no longer run these two deprecated methods.

This is looking great. I’m happy to give it a round of testing next week. This is cool on many levels: better performance due to fewer disk operations, further automated and abstracted logic, great efficiency in using the asset files.

I’m not sure if this should still live here. Could get wired in wp_default_script_modules next to handlers for script modules. No strong preferences, though.

Good question. My first thought is that this is specific to Interactivity API and it should manage its script module data filters, but it's true that other script modules may have their data filters added in a more generic place.

I'm inclined to leave it now just because there's no obvious reason to move it now. Maybe in time these core script module data filters should all be registered in one place if there are many of them.

I don't feel strongly one way or another.

@michalczaplinski @DAreRodz @cbravobernal It would be great to test out the Interactivity API on this PR as well as the interactive blocks in the block library.

There's a reverted commit on this branch that can be re-applied to test with new block-library versions as well. The commit message is "Test with block-library assets from Gutenberg" (currently 404336b).

Code-wise this looks great, and it mirrors how regular scripts are handled. Fantastic job on that front. This is what I see on disk after running npm run build:dev:

I'm wondering if these paths are the same on Windows. The challenge is that for regular scripts, the path contains only the file name. In this case, it's also folders so let's confirm that there isn't block-library\query\view.js or something like that. This would mean script-modules-packages.min.php under version control differs between operating systems.

Maybe @t-hamano could help with that like in WordPress/gutenberg#65064 (comment).

I tested this PR on a Windows host OS. From my understanding, build:dev does not generate a build directory, but generates some directories in the src directory. On the other hand, the build command generates a complete WordPress in the build directory.

In both commands, the script-modules-packages.min.php file contains only forward slashes.

npm run build:dev

build-dev-1

build-dev-2

npm run build

build-1

build-2

I then replaced the core files in my local WordPress environment on my Windows host OS with the files built in this PR.

The image lightbox works and scripts seem to be enqueued correctly. The navigation block works fine too.

Perfect, so that file should be stable across different systems and working correctly 👌
