The big migration thread for ReScript v11 (and uncurried mode)

What are you talking about? If the compiled file extension, then as I know they inherit the file extension from the root bsconfig.

basically, it would be nice to use the file extension required in the dependency’s bsconfig instead of the root

Hi Yall
A following question from other threads:
Will explicit currying apply to Functors as well?
I cant say I hit it often, but when you dont fully saturate a functor, the warning is really something.

Thanks

Hi !

I started the migration and the watch seems to doesn’t work when I have code error. Any idea ?
Just in case, here is one of my rescript.json file config :

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rescript-lang/rescript-compiler/master/docs/docson/build-schema.json",
  "name": "@colisweb/rescript-toolkit",
  "jsx": {
    "version": 4
  },
  "sources": [
    {
      "dir": "src",
      "subdirs": true
    },
    {
      "dir": "playground",
      "subdirs": true,
      "type": "dev"
    }
  ],
  "package-specs": [
    {
      "module": "es6-global",
      "in-source": false
    }
  ],
  "suffix": ".bs.js",
  "namespace": false,
  "uncurried": true,
  "bs-dependencies": [
    "@rescript/react",
    "reason-promise",
    "@greenlabs/ppx-spice",
    "rescript-classnames",
    "rescript-react-update",
    "@dck/restorative"
  ],
  "ppx-flags": [
    ["@greenlabs/ppx-spice/ppx", "-uncurried"],
    "lenses-ppx/ppx",
    "res-react-intl/ppx"
  ],
  "warnings": {
    "number": "-44-30-32",
    "error": "+5"
  },
  "bsc-flags": [
    "-bs-super-errors",
    "-bs-no-version-header",
    "-open Belt",
    "-open Cx"
  ]
}

It’s a regression of rc-4. I’ll fix it in the next version Watch mode is not working in `11.0.0-rc.4` · Issue #6435 · rescript-lang/rescript-compiler · GitHub.
As a solution you can try using rewatch.

Thanks for your fast reply !

I have some issues with Js.Dict.t and the uncurried mode. I’m trying to upgrade the code based on this coupled with @spice.

For reference, here is the implementation :

module MakeString = () => {
  module Id: {
    @spice
    type t
    module Dict: {
      type key = t
      @spice
      type t<'a>
      let get: (t<'a>, key) => option<'a>
      @set_index
      external set: (t<'a>, key, 'a) => unit = ""
      @val
      external keys: t<'a> => array<string> = "Object.keys"
      @obj /** Returns an empty dictionary. */
      external empty: unit => t<'a> = ""
      let unsafeDeleteKey: (t<string>, string) => unit
      let entries: t<'a> => array<(key, 'a)>
      let values: t<'a> => array<'a>
      let fromList: list<(key, 'a)> => t<'a>
      let fromArray: array<(key, 'a)> => t<'a>
      let map: ('a => 'b, t<'a>) => t<'b>
      let deleteKey: (t<'a>, key) => t<'a>
    }
  } = {
    @spice
    type t = string
    module Dict = {
      include Js.Dict

      let deleteKey: (t<'a>, string) => t<'a> = %raw("function (dict, key) {
  const newDict = Object.assign({},dict);
  delete newDict[key];
  return newDict;
}")
      let t_encode = (encoder, dict): Js.Json.t => Js.Json.Object(
        Js.Dict.map(a => encoder(a), dict),
      )

      let t_decode = (decoder, json) => {
        open Spice
        switch (json: Js.Json.t) {
        | Js.Json.Object(dict) =>
          dict
          ->Js.Dict.entries
          ->Belt.Array.reduce(Ok(Js.Dict.empty()), (acc, (key, value)) =>
            switch (acc, decoder(value)) {
            | (Error(_), _) => acc

            | (_, Error({path} as error)) => Error({...error, path: "." ++ (key ++ path)})

            | (Ok(prev), Ok(newVal)) =>
              let () = prev->Js.Dict.set(key, newVal)
              Ok(prev)
            }
          )
        | _ => Error({path: "", message: "Not a dict", value: json})
        }
      }
    }
  }

  @spice
  type t = Id.t

  module Dict = Id.Dict

  external make: string => t = "%identity"
  external toString: t => string = "%identity"
}

The compiler complains about signature missmatch for the t_encode function

  Signature mismatch:
  ...
  In module Dict:
  Values do not match:
    let t_encode: ('a => Js.Json.t, Js.Dict.t<'a>) => Js.Json.t
  is not included in
    let t_encode: ('a => Js.Json.t) => t<'a> => Js.Json.t

How could I handle this case ? I tried the dot notation but without success :thinking:

Thanks again !

Isn’t it just a matter of following the signature and manually curry the function now that there’s no auto-currying?

let t_encode = (encoder) => (dict) => Js.Json.Object(...)

I tried but still get this fun missmatch :grin:

  Signature mismatch:
  ...
  In module Dict:
  Values do not match:
    let t_encode: ('a => Js.Json.t) => t<'a> => Js.Json.t
  is not included in
    let t_encode: ('a => Js.Json.t) => t<'a> => Js.Json.t

well well well that’s a known issue here, long story short, there’s a bug in how the compiler displays the error and I haven’t been able to solve it yet, but meanwhile anyway, to fix the error in itself, you’d better use RescriptCore.Dict instead of Js.

Running rescript build -w with a compilation error exits with an error code, and I need to manually re-run it after every change until I get it to pass. Once passing, it goes back to restarting properly

I believe @DZakh fixed this regression in the upcoming release. Can’t find a link to the PR

Something has changed about @deriving(jsConverter) ?
This code works well on v10.x

It likely generates curried functions which don’t work in uncurried mode.

Oh I didn’t thought about that ! Thanks !

We just merged a fix to make the error message clearer btw

I encountered a runtime error while migrating from ReScript version 10 to version 11, specifically with the use of uncurried functions. The issue is demonstrated in the following code snippet:

let fn = (a, b, ()) => a() + b 

let a = fn(() => 1, 2, _)

When this ReScript code is compiled, it generates the following JavaScript:

// Generated by ReScript, PLEASE EDIT WITH CARE

function fn(a, b, param) {
  return a() + b | 0;
}

function a() {
  return fn((function () {
                return 1;
              }), 2, __x);
}

export {
  fn ,
  a ,
}
/* No side effect */

In the generated code, __x is clearly undefined, which leads to a ReferenceError at runtime. I found that replacing _ with ... in the ReScript code fixes the error. Apart from this issue, our migration to the new version is progressing without any major problems.

You can see the original code and its behavior on the ReScript playground here: ReScript Playground.

Sorry I haven’t had a chance to post about this since it was discovered (in July! :face_with_peeking_eye: ) but my rescript-nodejs library isn’t really usable in uncurried mode since it leverages @obj with optional parameters. If I don’t migrate off it, uncurried mode will require all optional fields to be set which is a bit pointless. I’ve been slowly working on a branch to fix this using records.

Unfortunately it uses a sneaky trick with @obj definitions that isn’t covered by records with optional fields. Because @obj definitions are external, it opens up the opportunity to use @as to set a parameter value (and thus object property) without revealing it to the call site.

This is critical for the NodeJS Stream API, where the objectMode property completely changes the type of the stream.

The code is here, which binds to both regular and object streams, but I’ve extracted a short example to the playground:

As far as I can tell there’s no way to do this without either @obj or a wrapper function.
