feat(http): explain transfer cache skips and time guards and resolvers during SSR - #241
Merged

Conversation
…s during SSR The SSR requests view listed calls the browser made again after hydration, but only with a generic list of reasons, and gave no timing for the router work done during the render. Each server call now records whether Angular's transfer cache stored the response, read back from TransferState, and when it did not, the first matching reason in the order Angular checks a request and response. providePangularHttp() also watches the router during a traced render through the dev-mode router util, so each request lists its navigations with guard and resolver times and the outcome, and Server-Timing gains guards and resolve metrics. The panel and explain-ssr-request show both, and an HTML redirect with no body is no longer labelled a Client render. Refs #32

Add /examples/ssr/product/:id, rendered on the server, with a canActivate guard that calls /api/access and a resolver that loads the product from a slow API. Product 2 is sold out, so the guard redirects; product 9 is unknown, so it rejects. This gives the SSR requests view real guard and resolver times, a redirect and API calls made during navigation. Refs #32

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winAvoid attributing a skip reason to an ambiguous repeated call.
ssrRequestStorydetects refetches with a set of normalized method/URL keys, so duplicate occurrences are not paired.HttpCall.idcannot provide the pairing because server and browser IDs use different side prefixes. Both views then usefindand select the first server occurrence.If matching server calls have different
cacheSkipvalues, return no specific reason. Show a reason only when all matching server calls have the same cache outcome. Apply the same rule in both locations.Suggested fix
export function serverCallFor(call: HttpCall, serverCalls: HttpCall[]): HttpCall | undefined { const key = `${call.method} ${pathOf(call.url)}`; - return serverCalls.find((c) => `${c.method} ${pathOf(c.url)}` === key); + const matches = serverCalls.filter((c) => `${c.method} ${pathOf(c.url)}` === key); + const first = matches[0]; + return first && matches.every((c) => c.cacheSkip === first.cacheSkip) ? first : undefined; }refetchReason(call: HttpCall): string { const key = `${call.method} ${pathOf(call.url)}`; - const server = this.requestCalls().find((c) => `${c.method} ${pathOf(c.url)}` === key); - return server?.cacheSkip ? this.skipText(server.cacheSkip) : ''; + const matches = this.requestCalls().filter( + (c) => `${c.method} ${pathOf(c.url)}` === key, + ); + const first = matches[0]; + return first?.cacheSkip && matches.every((c) => c.cacheSkip === first.cacheSkip) + ? this.skipText(first.cacheSkip) + : ''; }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

…nown The SSR requests view showed Unknown for redirects and for error pages that Angular did not render, and the last change hid not-found pages Angular rendered with status 404. Read the render mode from the HTML first, so a rendered 404 page stays Server and the index.csr.html shell is Client, then from the status: Redirect for a 3xx with no page and Not rendered for 400 and above with no Angular markup. Also validate cacheSkip and render modes as own keys, and name no refetch reason when matching server calls had different cache outcomes. Refs #32

What and why
This finishes Phase 1 of #32, after #240. The SSR requests view listed calls the browser made again after hydration, but only with a general list of possible reasons. It also gave no timing for the router work during the render.
Why the transfer cache skipped a call
transferCacheKeysalready computes them. Angular's cache interceptor runs inside ours as a root interceptor and stores the response before it reaches us, socacheStoredis what Angular actually stored.cacheSkipgives the first matching reason. It follows the order ofcanUseOrCacheRequestandtransferCacheInterceptorFnin@angular/common/httpwith default options:transferCache: false, POST, other methods, auth headers, credentials, request cache-control, a failed response, response cache-control,Set-Cookie, or a fault rule. Anything else falls into "cache off or filter", becauseCACHE_OPTIONSis private and can't be read.config.tsasCACHE_SKIP_TEXT, so the panel and the tools share it.Guard and resolver timings on the server
providePangularHttp()now also runs on the server. For a request thatssrMiddlewaretraced, it finds the Router through the dev-modeng.ɵgetRouterInstanceutil, so@angular/routerdoesn't become a dependency.applyRouterEventrecorder and stores up to 5 navigations on the request: URL, outcome, guard time and verdict, resolver time, total time, and the reason.Server-Timinggainsguards;dur=andresolve;dur=.Panel and tools
explain-ssr-requestgives the same detail.Demo: SSR guards and resolvers
/examples/ssr/product/:idpage, rendered on the server.canActivateguard calls a new/api/access/:idendpoint, and its resolver loads the product from a slow API./examples/ssr.Fixes and docs
shouldActivate: false, so a redirect showed as rejected. It now shows redirected when the navigation redirected.Refs #32
How it was verified
pnpm commit:checkpnpm format:checkpnpm typecheckpnpm test:devtools(1385) andpnpm test:panel(162).ssr-cache-and-navigation.test.tscovers the reason order, stored versus not stored, the fault-rule reason,sanitizeCalls, router timing capture and the tool output.pnpm docs:buildpassespnpm extension:buildandextension/uicommittedpnpm test:axepasses on every view/examples/ssr: the POST shows "not cached: POST requests are left out unless includePostRequests is set",/api/productsshows cached, and/api/products/3shows "the request sets transferCache: false". Both refetches give the same reasons./destinations/3: shows the redirect navigation, then the successful one, with guard and resolver times./examples/ssr/product/3: 200,guards;dur=153, resolve;dur=404, 2 server calls./examples/ssr/product/2: 302 to/product/1?from=sold-out. The first navigation shows the guard redirected and the second shows guards 154 ms and resolvers 404 ms, with 3 server calls./examples/ssr/product/9: 404. The guard rejected and the navigation was cancelled. The access call shows "not cached: failed responses are not stored".Server-Timingincludedguardsandresolve.Notes for reviewers
includePostRequestsset, a call that is stored shows cached. A skipped call only lists a reason that still applies.Summary by CodeRabbit
