组件createComponent

如果是一个普通的 html 标签，像上一章的例子那样是一个普通的 div，则会实例化一个普通 VNode 节点，否则通过 createComponent 方法创建一个组件 VNode。

3 个关键逻辑：构造子类构造函数，安装组件钩子函数和实例化 vnode。createComponent 后返回的是组件 vnode，它也一样走到 vm._update 方法，进而执行了 patch 函数

 function createComponent (
    Ctor,
    data,
    context,
    children,
    tag
  ) {
    if (isUndef(Ctor)) {
      return
    }
//因为vue 都会有export defalut

这里 export 的是一个对象，所以 createComponent 里的代码逻辑会执行到 baseCtor.extend(Ctor)，在这里 baseCtor 实际上就是 Vue，这个的定义是在最开始初始化 Vue 的阶段，

var baseCtor = context.$options._base; // plain options object: turn it into a constructor
    if (isObject(Ctor)) {
      Ctor = baseCtor.extend(Ctor);
    }

    // if at this stage it's not a constructor or an async component factory,
    // reject.
    if (typeof Ctor !== 'function') {
      {
        warn(("Invalid Component definition: " + (String(Ctor))), context);
      }
      return
    }

    // async component
    var asyncFactory;
    if (isUndef(Ctor.cid)) {  
      asyncFactory = Ctor;
      Ctor = resolveAsyncComponent(asyncFactory, baseCtor);
      if (Ctor === undefined) {
        // return a placeholder node for async component, which is rendered
        // as a comment node but preserves all the raw information for the node.
        // the information will be used for async server-rendering and hydration.
        return createAsyncPlaceholder(
          asyncFactory,
          data,
          context,
          children,
          tag
        )
      }
    }

    data = data || {};

    // resolve constructor options in case global mixins are applied after
    // component constructor creation
    resolveConstructorOptions(Ctor);

    // transform component v-model data into props & events
    if (isDef(data.model)) {
      transformModel(Ctor.options, data);
    }

    // extract props
    var propsData = extractPropsFromVNodeData(data, Ctor, tag);

    // functional component
    if (isTrue(Ctor.options.functional)) {
      return createFunctionalComponent(Ctor, propsData, data, context, children)
    }

    // extract listeners, since these needs to be treated as
    // child component listeners instead of DOM listeners
    var listeners = data.on;
    // replace with listeners with .native modifier
    // so it gets processed during parent component patch.
    data.on = data.nativeOn;

    if (isTrue(Ctor.options.abstract)) {
      // abstract components do not keep anything
      // other than props & listeners & slot

      // work around flow
      var slot = data.slot;
      data = {};
      if (slot) {
        data.slot = slot;
      }
    }

    // install component management hooks onto the placeholder node

 

整个 installComponentHooks 的过程就是把 componentVNodeHooks 的钩子函数合并到 data.hook 中，在 VNode 执行 patch 的过程中执行相关的钩子函数，

这里要注意的是合并策略，在合并过程中，如果某个时机的钩子已经存在 data.hook 中，那么通过执行 mergeHook 函数做合并，这个逻辑很简单，就是在最终执行的时候，依次执行这两个钩子函数即可。

    installComponentHooks(data);

    // return a placeholder vnode

最后一步非常简单，通过 new VNode 实例化一个 vnode 并返回。需要注意的是和普通元素节点的 vnode 不同，组件的 vnode 是没有 children 的，这点很关键

    var name = Ctor.options.name || tag;
    var vnode = new VNode(
      ("vue-component-" + (Ctor.cid) + (name ? ("-" + name) : '')),
      data, undefined, undefined, undefined, context,
      { Ctor: Ctor, propsData: propsData, listeners: listeners, tag: tag, children: children },
      asyncFactory
    );

    return vnode
  }



  function createComponentInstanceForVnode (
    vnode, // we know it's MountedComponentVNode but flow doesn't
    parent // activeInstance in lifecycle state
  ) {
    var options = {
      _isComponent: true,
      _parentVnode: vnode,
      parent: parent
    };
    // check inline-template render functions
    var inlineTemplate = vnode.data.inlineTemplate;
    if (isDef(inlineTemplate)) {
      options.render = inlineTemplate.render;
      options.staticRenderFns = inlineTemplate.staticRenderFns;
    }
    return new vnode.componentOptions.Ctor(options)
  }

  function installComponentHooks (data) {
    var hooks = data.hook || (data.hook = {});
    for (var i = 0; i < hooksToMerge.length; i++) {
      var key = hooksToMerge[i];
      var existing = hooks[key];
      var toMerge = componentVNodeHooks[key];
      if (existing !== toMerge && !(existing && existing._merged)) {
        hooks[key] = existing ? mergeHook$1(toMerge, existing) : toMerge;
      }
    }
  }

  function mergeHook$1 (f1, f2) {
    var merged = function (a, b) {
      // flow complains about extra args which is why we use any
      f1(a, b);
      f2(a, b);
    };
    merged._merged = true;
    return merged
  }

  // transform component v-model info (value and callback) into
  // prop and event handler respectively.
  function transformModel (options, data) {
    var prop = (options.model && options.model.prop) || 'value';
    var event = (options.model && options.model.event) || 'input'
    ;(data.attrs || (data.attrs = {}))[prop] = data.model.value;
    var on = data.on || (data.on = {});

          ? existing.indexOf(callback) === -1

        on[event] = [callback].concat(existing);
      }

Vue.extend 的作用就是构造一个 Vue 的子类，它使用一种非常经典的原型继承的方式把一个纯对象转换一个继承于 Vue 的构造器 Sub 并返回，

然后对 Sub 这个对象本身扩展了一些属性，如扩展 options、添加全局 API 等；并且对配置中的 props 和 computed 做了初始化工作；

最后对于这个 Sub 构造函数做了缓存，避免多次执行 Vue.extend 的时候对同一个子组件重复构造。

这样当我们去实例化 Sub 的时候，就会执行 this._init 逻辑再次走到了 Vue 实例的初始化逻辑

 Vue.extend = function (extendOptions) {
      extendOptions = extendOptions || {};
      var Super = this;
      var SuperId = Super.cid;
      var cachedCtors = extendOptions._Ctor || (extendOptions._Ctor = {});
      if (cachedCtors[SuperId]) {
        return cachedCtors[SuperId]
      }

      var name = extendOptions.name || Super.options.name;
      if (name) {
        validateComponentName(name);
      }

      var Sub = function VueComponent (options) {
        this._init(options);
      };
      Sub.prototype = Object.create(Super.prototype);
      Sub.prototype.constructor = Sub;
      Sub.cid = cid++;
      Sub.options = mergeOptions(
        Super.options,
        extendOptions
      );
      Sub['super'] = Super;

      // For props and computed properties, we define the proxy getters on
      // the Vue instances at extension time, on the extended prototype. This
      // avoids Object.defineProperty calls for each instance created.
      if (Sub.options.props) {
        initProps$1(Sub);
      }
      if (Sub.options.computed) {
        initComputed$1(Sub);
      }

      // allow further extension/mixin/plugin usage
      Sub.extend = Super.extend;
      Sub.mixin = Super.mixin;
      Sub.use = Super.use;

      // create asset registers, so extended classes
      // can have their private assets too.
      ASSET_TYPES.forEach(function (type) {
        Sub[type] = Super[type];
      });
      // enable recursive self-lookup

        Sub.options.components[name] = Sub;

      // later at instantiation we can check if Super's options have
      // been updated.
