# fusion-core



[![Build status](https://badge.buildkite.com/f21b82191811f668ef6fe24f6151058a84fa2c645cfa8810d0.svg?branch=master)](https://buildkite.com/uberopensource/fusion-core)



The `fusion-core` package provides a generic entry point class for FusionJS applications that is used by the FusionJS runtime. It also provides primitives for implementing server-side code, and utilities for assembling plugins into an application to augment its functionality.



If you're using React, you should use the [`fusion-react`](https://github.com/fusionjs/fusion-react) package instead of `fusion-core`.

### Usage



```js

// main.js

import React from 'react';

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import {renderToString} from 'react-dom/server';

import App from 'fusion-core';



const el = 
Hello
;



const render = el =>

  __NODE__

    ? `
${renderToString(el)}
`

    : ReactDOM.render(el, document.getElementById('root'));



export default function() {

  return new App(el, render);

}

```



---



### API



#### App



```js

import App from 'fusion-core';

```



A class that represents an application. An application is responsible for rendering (both virtual dom and server-side rendering). The functionality of an application is extended via [plugins](#plugin).



**Constructor**



```flow

const app: App = new App(el: any, render: Plugin|Render);

```



* `el: any` - a template root. In a React application, this would be a React element created via `React.createElement` or a JSX expression.

* `render: Plugin|Render` - defines how rendering should occur. A Plugin should provide a value of type `Render`

  * `type Render = (el:any) => any`



**app.register**



```flow

app.register(plugin: Plugin);

app.register(token: Token, plugin: Plugin);

app.register(token: Token, value: any);

```



Call this method to register a plugin or configuration value into a Fusion.js application.



You can optionally pass a token as the first argument to associate the plugin/value to the token, so that they can be referenced by other plugins within Fusion.js' dependency injection system.



* `plugin: Plugin` - a [Plugin](#plugin) created via [`createPlugin`](#createplugin)

* `token: Token` - a [Token](#token) created via [`createToken`](#createtoken)

* `value: any` - a configuration value

* returns `undefined`



**app.middleware**



```js

app.middleware((deps: Object), (deps: Object) => Middleware);

app.middleware((middleware: Middleware));

```



* `deps: Object` - A map of local dependency names to [DI tokens](#token)

* `middleware: Middleware` - a [middleware](#middleware)

* returns `undefined`



This method is a shortcut for registering middleware plugins. Typically, you should write middlewares as plugins so you can organize different middlewares into different files.



**app.enhance**



```flow

app.enhance(token: Token, value: any => Plugin | Value);

```



This method is useful for composing / enhancing functionality of existing tokens in the DI system.



**app.cleanup**



```js

await app.cleanup();

```



Calls all plugin cleanup methods. Useful for testing.



* returns `Promise`



---



#### Dependency registration



##### ElementToken



```js

import App, {ElementToken} from 'fusion-core';

app.register(ElementToken, element);

```



The element token is used to register the root element with the fusion app. This is typically a react/preact element.



##### RenderToken



```js

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import {renderToString} from 'react-dom/server';

const render = el =>

  __NODE__

    ? renderToString(el)

    : ReactDOM.render(el, document.getElementById('root'));

import App, {RenderToken} from 'fusion-core';

const app = new App();

app.register(RenderToken, render);

```



The render token is used to register the render function with the fusion app. This is a function that knows how to

render your application on the server/browser, and allows `fusion-core` to remain agnostic of the virtualdom library.



##### SSRDeciderToken



```js

import App, {SSRDeciderToken} from 'fusion-core';

app.enhance(SSRDeciderToken, SSRDeciderEnhancer);

```



Ths SSRDeciderToken can be enhanced to control server rendering logic.



##### HttpServerToken



```js

import App, {HttpServerToken} from 'fusion-core';

app.register(HttpServerToken, server);

```



The HttpServerToken is used to register the current server as a dependency that can be utilized from plugins that require

access to it. This is normally not required but is available for specific usage cases.



---



#### Plugin



A plugin encapsulates some functionality into a single coherent package that exposes a programmatic API and/or installs middlewares into an application.



Plugins can be created via `createPlugin`



```flow

type Plugin {

  deps: Object,

  provides: (deps: Object) => any,

  middleware: (deps: Object, service: any) => Middleware,

  cleanup: ?(service: any) => void

}

```



##### createPlugin



```js

import {createPlugin} from 'fusion-core';

```



Creates a plugin that can be registered via `app.register()`



```flow

const plugin: Plugin = createPlugin({

  deps: Object,

  provides: (deps: Object) => any,

  middleware: (deps: Object, service: any) => Middleware,

  cleanup: ?(service: any) => void

});

```



* `deps: Object` - A map of local dependency names to [DI tokens](#token)

* `provides: (deps: Object) => any` - A function that provides a service

* `middleware: (deps: Object, service: any) => Middleware` - A function that provides a middleware

* `cleanup: ?(service: any)` => Runs when `app.cleanup` is called. Useful for tests

* returns `plugin: Plugin` - A Fusion.js plugin



---



#### Token



A token is a label that can be associated to a plugin or configuration when they are registered to an application. Other plugins can then import them via dependency injection, by mapping a object key in `deps` to a token



```flow

type Token {

  name: string,

  ref: mixed,

  type: number,

  optional: ?Token,

}

```



##### createToken



```flow

const token:Token = createToken(name: string);

```



* `name: string` - a human-readable name for the token. Used for generating useful error messages.

* returns `token: Token`



---



#### Memoization



```flow

import {memoize} from 'fusion-core';

```



Sometimes, it's useful to maintain the same instance of a plugin associated with a request lifecycle. For example, session state.



Fusion.js provides a `memoize` utility function to memoize per-request instances.



```js

const memoized = {from: memoize((fn: (ctx: Context) => any))};

```



* `fn: (ctx: Context) => any` - A function to be memoized

* returns `memoized: (ctx: Context) => any`



Idiomatically, Fusion.js plugins provide memoized instances via a `from` method. This method is meant to be called from a [middleware](#middleware):



```js

createPlugin({

  deps: {Session: SessionToken},

  middleware({Session}) {

    return (ctx, next) => {

      const state = Session.from(ctx);

    }

  }

}

```



---



#### Middleware



```flow

type Middleware = (ctx: Context, next: () => Promise) => Promise

```



* `ctx: Context` - a [Context](#context)

* `next: () => Promise` - An asynchronous function call that represents rendering



A middleware function is essentially a [Koa](http://koajs.com/) middleware, a function that takes two argument: a `ctx` object that has some FusionJS-specific properties, and a `next` callback function.

However, it has some additional properties on `ctx` and can run both on the `server` and the `browser`.



In FusionJS, the `next()` call represents the time when virtual dom rendering happens. Typically, you'll want to run all your logic before that, and simply have a `return next()` statement at the end of the function. Even in cases where virtual DOM rendering is not applicable, this pattern is still the simplest way to write a middleware.



In a few more advanced cases, however, you might want to do things _after_ virtual dom rendering. In that case, you can call `await next()` instead:



```js

const middleware = () => async (ctx, next) => {

  // this happens before virtual dom rendering

  const start = new Date();



  await next();



  // this happens after virtual rendeing, but before the response is sent to the browser

  console.log('timing: ', new Date() - start);

};

```



Plugins can add dependency injected middlewares.



```js

// fusion-plugin-some-api

const APIPlugin = createPlugin({

  deps: {

    logger: LoggerToken,

  },

  provides: ({logger}) => {

    return new APIClient(logger);

  },

  middleware: ({logger}, apiClient) => {

    return async (ctx, next) => {

      // do middleware things...

      await next();

      // do middleware things...

    };

  },

});

```



##### Context



Middlewares receive a `ctx` object as their first argument. This object has a property called `element` in both server and client.



* `ctx: Object`

  * `element: Object`



Additionally, when server-side rendering a page, FusionJS sets `ctx.template` to an object with the following properties:



* `ctx: Object`

  * `template: Object`

    * `htmlAttrs: Object` - attributes for the `` tag. For example `{lang: 'en-US'}` turns into ``. Default: empty object

    * `bodyAttrs: Object` - attributes for the `` tag. For example `{test: 'test'}` turns into ``. Default: empty object

    * `title: string` - The content for the `` tag. Default: empty string

    * `head: Array` - A list of [sanitized HTML strings](#html-sanitization). Default: empty array

    * `body: Array` - A list of [sanitized HTML strings](#html-sanitization). Default: empty array



When a request does not require a server-side render, `ctx.body` follows regular Koa semantics.

#### Sanitization



**html**



```js

import {html} from 'fusion-core';

```



A template tag that creates safe HTML objects that are compatible with `ctx.template.head` and `ctx.template.body`. Template string interpolations are escaped. Use this function to prevent XSS attacks.



```flow

const sanitized: SanitizedHTML = html``

```



**escape**



```js

import {escape} from 'fusion-core';

```



Escapes HTML



```flow

const escaped:string = escape(value: string)

```



* `value: string` - the string to be escaped



**unescape**



```js

import {unescape} from 'fusion-core';

```



Unescapes HTML



```flow

const unescaped:string = unescape(value: string)

```



* `value: string` - the string to be unescaped



**dangerouslySetHTML**



```js

import {dangerouslySetHTML} from 'fusion-core';

```



A function that blindly creates a trusted SanitizedHTML object without sanitizing against XSS. Do not use this function unless you have manually sanitized your input and written tests against XSS attacks.



```flow

const trusted:string = dangerouslySetHTML(value: string)

```



* `value: string` - the string to be trusted



---



### Examples



#### Dependency injection



To use plugins, you need to register them with your Fusion.js application. You do this by calling

`app.register` with the plugin and a token for that plugin. The token is a value used to keep track of

what plugins are registered, and to allow plugins to depend on one another.



You can think of Tokens as names of interfaces. There's a list of common tokens in the `fusion-tokens` package.



Here's how you create a plugin:



```js

import {createPlugin} from 'fusion-core';

// fusion-plugin-console-logger

const ConsoleLoggerPlugin = createPlugin({

  provides: () => {

    return console;

  },

});

```



And here's how you register it:



```js

// src/main.js

import ConsoleLoggerPlugin from 'fusion-plugin-console-logger';

import {LoggerToken} from 'fusion-tokens';

import App from 'fusion-core';



export default function main() {

  const app = new App(...);

  app.register(LoggerToken, ConsoleLoggerPlugin);

  return app;

}

```



Now let's say we have a plugin that requires a `logger`. We can map `logger` to `LoggerToken` to inject the logger provided by `ConsoleLoggerPlugin` to the `logger` variable.



```js

// fusion-plugin-some-api

import {createPlugin} from 'fusion-core';

import {LoggerToken} from 'fusion-tokens';



const APIPlugin = createPlugin({

  deps: {

    logger: LoggerToken,

  },

  provides: ({logger}) => {

    logger.log('Hello world');

    return new APIClient(logger);

  },

});

```



The API plugin is declaring that it needs a logger that matches the API documented by the `LoggerToken`. The user then provides an implementation of that logger by registering the `fusion-plugin-console-logger` plugin with the `LoggerToken`.



#### Implementing HTTP endpoints



You can use a plugin to implement a RESTful HTTP endpoint. To achieve this, run code conditionally based on the URL of the request



```js

app.middleware(async (ctx, next) => {

  if (ctx.method === 'GET' && ctx.path === '/api/v1/users') {

    ctx.body = await getUsers();

  }

  return next();

});

```



#### Serialization and hydration



A plugin can be atomically responsible for serialization/deserialization of data from the server to the client.



The example below shows a plugin that grabs the project version from package.json and logs it in the browser:



```js

// plugins/version-plugin.js

import fs from 'fs';

import {html, unescape, createPlugin} from 'fusion-core'; // html sanitization



export default createPlugin({

  middleware: () => {

    const data = __NODE__ && JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json').toString());

    return async (ctx, next) => {

      if (__NODE__) {

        ctx.template.head.push(html``);

        return next();

      } else {

        const version = unescape(document.getElementById('app-version').content);

        console.log(`Version: ${version}`);

        return next();

      }

    });

  }

});

```



We can then consume the plugin like this:



```js

// main.js

import React from 'react';

import App from 'fusion-core';

import VersionPlugin from './plugins/version-plugin';



const root = 
Hello world
;



const render = el =>

  __NODE__ ? renderToString(el) : render(el, document.getElementById('root'));



export default function() {

  const app = new App(root, render);

  app.register(VersionPlugin);

  return app;

}

```



#### HTML sanitization



Default-on HTML sanitization is important for preventing security threats such as XSS attacks.



Fusion automatically sanitizes `htmlAttrs` and `title`. When pushing HTML strings to `head` or `body`, you must use the `html` template tag to mark your HTML as sanitized:



```js

import {html} from 'fusion-core';



const middleware = (ctx, next) => {

  if (ctx.element) {

    const userData = await getUserData();

    // userData can't be trusted, and is automatically escaped

    ctx.template.body.push(html`
${userData}
`)

  }

  return next();

}

```



If `userData` above was `alert(1)`, ththe string would be automatically turned into `
\u003Cscript\u003Ealert(1)\u003C/script\u003E
`. Note that only `userData` is escaped, but the HTML in your code stays intact.



If your HTML is complex and needs to be broken into smaller strings, you can also nest sanitized HTML strings like this:



```js

const notUserData = html`
Hello
`;

const body = html`
${notUserData}
`;

```



Note that you cannot mix sanitized HTML with unsanitized strings:



```js

ctx.template.body.push(html`
Safe
` + 'not safe'); // will throw an error when rendered

```



Also note that only template strings can have template tags (i.e. html`<div></div>`). The following are NOT valid Javascript: `html"
"` and `html'
'`.



If you get an Unsanitized html. You must use html`[your html here]` error, remember to prepend the `html` template tag to your template string.



If you have already taken steps to sanitize your input against XSS and don't wish to re-sanitize it, you can use `dangerouslySetHTML(string)` to let Fusion render the unescaped dynamic string.



#### Enhancing a dependency



If you wanted to add a header to every request sent using the registered `fetch`.



```js

app.register(FetchToken, window.fetch);

app.enhance(FetchToken, fetch => {

  return (url, params = {}) => {

    return fetch(url, {

      ...params,

      headers: {

        ...params.headers,

        'x-test': 'test',

      },

    });

  };

});

```



You can also return a `Plugin` from the enhancer function, which `provides` the enhanced value, allowing

the enhancer to have dependencies and even middleware.



```js

app.register(FetchToken, window.fetch);

app.enhance(FetchToken, fetch => {

  return createPlugin({

    provides: () => (url, params = {}) => {

      return fetch(url, {

        ...params,

        headers: {

          ...params.headers,

          'x-test': 'test',

        },

      });

    },

  });

});

```



#### Controlling SSR behavior



By default we do not perfrom SSR for any paths that match the following extensions: js, gif, jpg, png, pdf and json. You can control SSR behavior by enhancing the SSRDeciderToken. This will give you the ability to apply custom logic around which routes go through the renderer. You may enhance the SSRDeciderToken with either a function, or a plugin if you need dependencies.



```js

import {SSRDeciderToken} from 'fusion-core';

app.enhance(SSRDeciderToken, decide => ctx =>

  decide(ctx) && !ctx.path.match(/ignore-ssr-route/)

);

```
