What

Keep a serialized parser in React streaming components so each update reuses completed blocks. Reset it when parser settings change and parse the full source when streaming ends. Keep defined components' options and plugins stable across renders.

Why

React currently parses the entire source on each update, as discussed in #135. Also clear stale frontmatter when a stream switches documents. Use a full parse for heading tails and reference definitions to preserve IDs and links.

Related #396.

Description GitHub
Before React parses the completed prefix again on append. Source
After React parses only the open tail and parses the full source when streaming ends. Source

Parser timings for the shared React/Svelte call pattern, using the published PR code:

Stream Final size Before After
100 paragraph updates 6.7 kB 172 ms 26 ms
300 paragraph updates 20.3 kB 752 ms 84 ms
600 paragraph updates 40.7 kB 2,467 ms 224 ms
300 heading + paragraph updates 25.0 kB 947 ms 808 ms

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Streaming Markdown now reuses completed blocks as new text arrives. When streaming ends, the complete document is parsed.
  • Improvements
    • Updates to parser options or plugins are reflected in rendered content. Heading tails and reference definitions trigger a full parse to preserve heading IDs and links.
    • Pre-parsed documents render without invoking plugins.

Tip

Run PR Lens on your own machine: npx skills add coldteadotai/pr-lens installs the agent skill. Then tell your coding agent: "Diagram the change you just made with PR Lens and attach it to the pull request."

🪧 More tips
  • Draw a diff before it is even a pull request: npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli analyze --base origin/main reads the diff with your own model key, and npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli render .pr-lens/graph.json draws the same lenses on your machine.
  • The boxes under View are live. Tick Architecture lens or Data flow lens to choose which diagrams appear, or Expand every detail to open every drill-down at once. The comment redraws in place a few seconds later.
  • Show unchanged neighbours lists the components this change did not touch alongside the ones it did, so the drill-down shows what the changed code sits next to.
  • GitHub will not let you zoom an image in a comment. The link under each diagram opens it full size on a page of its own, where you can.
  • The CLI's render picks up .github/pr-lens.yml automatically and applies your corrections (renames, exclusions, lane pins) at draw time.
  • Would you rather run it from CI on a key of your own? Add .github/workflows/pr-lens.yml with coldteadotai/pr-lens/packages/action@v0 and a model key in your repository secrets, say GEMINI_API_KEY. The Action asks Gemini by default, or OpenAI and any endpoint speaking /chat/completions through its provider input.
  • PR Lens is free for open source. A star on the repository is what keeps it going.
  • Push a new commit and the whole comment re-renders for the new head. An older run never overwrites a newer one, so a slow render cannot put a stale diagram back.
  • The diagrams follow your GitHub theme, so dark mode gets the dark render and light mode the light one, and the moving dots show this pull request's data in motion.

📝 Walkthrough

The React package now uses a serialized parser for streaming Markdown. The parser reuses completed blocks during appended-text updates and performs a full parse when streaming ends or parser inputs change. Browser tests cover the streaming behavior and related rendering cases.

Changes: React streaming parser

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parser setup and streaming flow
packages/comark-react/src/components/Markdown.tsx, packages/comark-react/src/components/MarkdownClient.tsx, packages/comark-react/src/index.ts, docs/content/3.rendering/5.react.md, packages/comark-react/README.md, AGENTS.md
The Markdown wrapper passes options and unwrap separately for streaming renders. MarkdownClient memoizes a serialized parser using options, plugins, and unwrap, and parses string content using the current streaming value. Factory option and plugin merges are cached by input reference. Documentation describes block reuse, full parsing, and stable parser references.
Browser validation of parser behavior
packages/comark-react/test/streaming.browser.test.tsx, packages/comark-react/vitest.config.ts, packages/comark-react/package.json
Browser tests cover streaming updates, parser recreation, factory configuration, unwrap, pre-parsed documents, overlapping plugin work, and plugin errors. Vitest separates server and browser tests and runs browser tests in headless Chromium using Playwright.

The React streaming change makes the package slightly larger, and that currently fails the bundle-size check in CI. The streaming guide may also lead users to a client-side pattern React does not support. Update the size snapshot or reduce the bundle, and correct the streaming examples, before merging.

Use and test MarkdownClient for client-side streaming. Both examples render async Markdown from client-side state. React does not support async client components. The browser test avoids that path by awaiting Markdown(...) before rendering, so it cannot validate the examples. (react.dev)

  • packages/comark-react/README.md#L64-L64: use MarkdownClient in the streaming example.

Resolve the bundle-size snapshot mismatch.

CI reports that the bundle test expects @comark/react at 38.0k, but measures 39.0k across the same 76 files. The test fails. Review the bundle change; reduce the size or update the snapshot if the increase is intended.
