fix: made type-metadata.storage.ts much faster #2212

roypeled · 2022-06-01T12:31:36Z

Changed the data modeling of type-metadata storage to store the data in maps instead of arrays.
This results in a dramatic improvement of application startup time since many of the lookups for metadata are now in O(1) instead of O(n)

PR Type

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

This change mainly modified type-metadata.storage.ts file. This file stored all the objects' metadata in arrays, and during an application bootstrap, it would iterate all the data multiple times to filter the required metadata (mostly filter by class type, but also property field names and more).

What I did was to modify how the data is stored with multiple new classes which store the metadata within Maps, thus retrieving the correct data is a simple get instead of a filter.

From my tests on my (pretty large) GQL project, the bootstrap time went from 90s to 8s.

What is the current behavior?

Issue Number: #2206

What is the new behavior?

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

Yes
No

OK, I see failing e2e tests here, but the ones I ran locally with npm run test:e2e passed (and there weren't a lot).
So I guess I'm missing a step here.
Is there another test suite somewhere?

kamilmysliwiec · 2022-06-01T13:01:33Z

You might need to clear your local jest cache (with --clearCache) - perhaps you're not actually executing those tests

Yep, I didn't notice that I was running only the graphql package tests. Working on solving the breaking tests now.

Can we create a dedicated folder, let's say, "collections" and then have a file per class there?

Sure, that's a good idea. I didn't know where to place this file but your suggestion is appropriate

Extending built-in collections is typically considered a bad practice. Any reason we cant use Array directly?

Yeah, for every collection that we are saving per metadata class, we also need to save a global collection of all the classes collections in a flat array.
I thought the easiest way to do that is to hook on arrays push and I shift methods, but it maybe bette to have this class create an internal array and expose the required methods

Pushed another fix, now I'm wrapping the array instead of extending it. Good comment!

This still doesn't seem right. ArrayCollection class basically wraps another array inside and hooks into some of the methods (push and unshit) to simply insert these elements into the global array . We should - at the very least - rename this class so it properly describes what's doing under the hood.

I agree. Do you think that ArrayWithUpdateHooks is appropriate?

What about ArrayWithGlobalCacheCollection? Not sure which one is better tbh
