expression could be { render: () => {} }, so change up this handling. This code affects the Astro.slots.render API. The args are from Astro.slots.render's second parameter.

astro/src/runtime/server/index.ts is publicly exported, but also slightly internal. I removed a couple of APIs as it's not needed, or the signature has changed.

The code here comes from bufferHeadContent() function in render.ts. Since we render components eagerly now, we can directly invoke this here.
Could be a bit cleaner, but I think good enough for now.

renderComponent is the core API for rendering any component. Now it will return a promise so it's rendered in parallel, and return a RenderInstance - a new concept added, but basically an object with { render: (destination) => void }. (destination is the RenderDestination)

Slots are very tricky to render. They are split as content and instructions. content is the basic HTML, instructions are like astro island scripts/styles, and head content.
This out-of-order sorting makes it that we need a temporary destination to "collect" and sort the chunks.

I think because we render more stuff in sync now, it's now streamed in 2 chunks? This is the only test I had to tweak.

I like this new API and way of rendering things, especially the .write function!
I like it so much that when I see things like str +=, it makes me wanna cry 😢 😆
I am not a big fan of the closure approach, because it seems more a side effect. I wish we could find a better approach, to make it more "linear".
Just sharing my thoughts, overall I am happy with the implementation :)

Thanks for reviewing! Yeah I'm also not quite liking the closures, it's kinda the same as generator yields, but without generators. Tried to avoid that, but it's a bit hard with the slots and hoisting. Maybe we can revisit that again with this new flow. |

Since this is a large-ish change, I'll add a changeset to be safe so it's easier to track if it caused a regression somewhere. |
Changes
Follow-up from #7730, this PR uses the new
RenderDestinationabstraction to render the HTML directly, instead of using generators.This is a big PR, and unfortunately hard to split off, but I'll try to leave comments for each changes.
Gist of changes:
destination.writeinstead.RenderInstructions are re-sorted and hoisted.renderComponentAPI now returns a promise that eagerly renders.Testing
Existing tests should pass.
