feat: Add React Plugin #164

thgao · 2020-07-27T20:38:19Z

Which problem is this PR solving?

React/Redux plugin #84

Short description of the changes

Adding plugin for React instrumentation + docs and tests
This plugin instruments the lifecycle methods of a React component as defined here: https://projects.wojtekmaj.pl/react-lifecycle-methods-diagram/
Note: Constructor & getDerivedStateFromProps are not instrumented because they are static methods. getDerivedStateFromProps is considered an extremely rare use case

Usage

Once the tracer is defined, statically set logger & tracer:

BaseOpenTelemetryComponent.setLogger(logger);
BaseOpenTelemetryComponent.setTracer("name", "version");

Component definitions:

class export Component1 extend BaseOpenTelemetryComponent { ...}
class export Component2 extend BaseOpenTelemetryComponent { ...}

Any component extending BaseOpenTelemetryComponent will be instrumented.

Example Traces

Example Attributes:

Mounting Flow:

Updating Flow:

Unmounting Flow:

- changed plugin model to component based approach - fixed tests

+To instrument components, extend `BaseOpenTelemetryComponent`:


How can I instrument a functional component? Would I just wrap it as a HOC?

const FuncComponent = ({...props}) => (<BaseOpenTelemetryComponent> <div {...props}>Hello World</div> </BaseOpenTelemetryComponent>);

Right now it doesn't support functional components, I was hoping this was okay because functional components don't have lifecycle methods. If we wanted to add tracing to it I was thinking that could be a separate strain of work to instrument useEffect. I was also thinking this would be okay since functional components are typically less complicated than class components so it would likely be more important for a user to want the class component to be instrumented, what do you think?

Most of components that we write today are functional components since react hooks make class-based components unnecessary in most cases. As such, instrumentation of functional components will be a big plus.

+ parentData.name = AttributeNames.MOUNTING_SPAN;
+ }
+ return plugin._instrumentFunction(this, 'render', () => {
+ return original!.apply(this, args);


Is the assertion here required?

Related to the comment below! The type of the original function can be undefined as specified by React, but in my code I guarantee it to be a no-op when undefined. This patch function has to have the same signature as the actual React method so that the shimmer wrap function can take them as arguments

plugins/web/opentelemetry-plugin-react-load/src/types.ts

+/*
+ * method "componentDidMount" from React.Component
+ */
+export type ComponentDidMountFunction = (() => void) | undefined;


Since you are providing your own default no-ops for these, can the | undefined and non-falsy assertions! be removed?

I had to add | undefined in order to match the function definition provided by React, otherwise when I tried to wrap a function using Shimmer it didn't compile since the types of the patch I'm supplying and actual function prototype passed in don't match

+ const apply = plugin._instrumentFunction(
+ this,
+ 'componentDidMount',
+ () => {


nit: these can all be written without defining new arrow functions as original.bind(this, args), but I'm not sure if it matters either way

+ private _getAttributes(react: React.Component) {
+ let state = '';
+ try {
+ state = JSON.stringify(react.state);


@open-telemetry/javascript-maintainers
Do attributes need to be non-object types? I wonder if this stringify is something that should be left to the exporters. Else I think the attribute value type should be changed from unknown to clarify whether a stringify is necessary or not.

We already have an issue to track this on our side open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js#1340, and a spec PR which resolved this open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#722, but the simple answer is that this is not allowed:

The attribute key, which MUST be a non-null and non-empty string.

The attribute value, which is either:

A primitive type: string, boolean, double precision floating point (IEEE 754-1985) or signed > 64 bit integer.

An array of primitive type values. The array MUST be homogeneous,
i.e. it MUST NOT contain values of different types. For protocols that do
not natively support array values such values SHOULD be represented as JSON strings.

+import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
+import { BaseOpenTelemetryComponent } from '@opentelemetry/plugin-react-load';

+class Home extends BaseOpenTelemetryComponent {


Is another example using hooks/functional components also possible with this plugin?

Related to comment above, but currently my implementation doesn't support functional components

dyladan · 2020-07-29T15:52:51Z

Has this been tested with preact? Would be interested to see if it works, and would be a nice addition to the README.

dyladan · 2020-07-29T19:19:59Z

plugins/web/opentelemetry-plugin-react-load/src/BaseOpenTelemetryComponent.ts

+ [GeneralAttribute.COMPONENT]: this.moduleName,
+ [AttributeNames.LOCATION_URL]: window.location.href,
+ [AttributeNames.REACT_NAME]: react.constructor.name,
+ [AttributeNames.REACT_STATE]: state,


Is this a requirement? I think the state can become quite large in some cases and this may cause quite some overhead.

I added in state as an attribute because I found it a good way to decipher where/when spans were coming from in an application, would it be better to not include this attribute or only conditionally include it based on length?

A length heuristic is likely confusing for users. Maybe you could define a protected property on the base class like getCustomSpanAttributes: undefined | (state: State) => Attributes, which is called with state iff it is defined, and its returned attributes are attached to the span? Or a simpler property like addStateAsSpanAttribute: boolean might be easier... It depends what use-case you're actually trying to solve.

If the use-case is to help you debug while building the module, I would say to strip it out before merge. If it is actually impossible to tell which component generated the span, then maybe there is some other attribute that could cover that use-case like the component's constructor.name property.

I see, I'm trying to solve the user side use case. I was thinking that since it's common in React to have multiple state updates in a row (for example setting setting the state to Loading, then setting it to Loaded once a request returns), these would all come from the same component so just having a name (which is an attribute right now too) might still make it hard for users to decipher the traces from each other.
Could you clarify about your suggestion I think I'm misunderstanding it a bit, is the suggestion to still allow long states to be added as attributes but not add the state label at all when state is undefined?

@dyladan @thgao was this addressed already or there are still things that left ?

I haven't addressed this change yet, I was hoping to understand it a bit more and get some clarification first!

Overall great work and I really like it :). I have tested this heavily and I posted all issues / bugs that I found.
There are still things which doesn't work fully. The main problem is with context propagation between other plugins and this plugin. I have posted you some fixes and files which when you modify it will be easier to debug things.

Findings:

Summary

Preact looks like this is working fine after my fix with context propagation.
React is still having some problem, although the XMLHttpRequest is getting a correct parent,
but as you can see you spans are splitted into 2 groups and also the click event is not a parent for start group.
Why those 2 groups are not connected whereas in preact it works fine
WIth regards to click event for me it looks like the react might either have some addition life cycle that the plugin is not taking into consideration or something else.

Finally the react should look like preact and I'm enclosing you the image how it should look like

After investigating a bit, I found that if the button handler is added directly using addEventListener like:

 document.getElementById('id').addEventListener('click', () => this.buttonHandler(this))

instead of setting the handler using the onClick method as part of the button, the React traces get nested under the the click span as expected.

As discussed, we think this is likely due to some React optimizations or a bug in zone.js, and out of scope of this PR.
