The changes aim to deduplicate data between workflows and node templates, decoupling workflows from internal implementation details. A good amount of data that was needlessly duplicated from the node template to the workflow is removed.
These changes substantially reduce the file size of workflows (and therefore the images with embedded workflows):
- Default T2I SD1.5 workflow JSON is reduced from 23.7kb (798 lines) to 10.9kb (407 lines).
- Default tiled upscale workflow JSON is reduced from 102.7kb (3341 lines) to 51.9kb (1774 lines).
The trade-off is that we need to reference node templates to get things like the field type and other things. In practice, this is a non-issue, because we need a node template to do anything with a node anyways.
- Field types are not included in the workflow. They are always pulled from the node templates.
The field type is now properly an internal implementation detail and we can change it as needed. Previously this would require a migration for the workflow itself. With the v3 schema, the structure of a field type is an internal implementation detail that we are free to change as we see fit.
- Workflow nodes no long have an `outputs` property and there is no longer such a thing as a `FieldOutputInstance`. These are only on the templates.
These were never referenced at a time when we didn't also have the templates available, and there'd be no reason to do so.
- Node width and height are no longer stored in the node.
These weren't used. Also, per https://reactflow.dev/api-reference/types/node, we shouldn't be programmatically changing these properties. A future enhancement can properly add node resizing.
- `nodeTemplates` slice is merged back into `nodesSlice` as `nodes.templates`. Turns out it's just a hassle having these separate in separate slices.
- Workflow migration logic updated to support the new schema. V1 workflows migrate all the way to v3 now.
- Changes throughout the nodes code to accommodate the above changes.
There are a few breaking changes, which I've addressed.
The vast majority of changes are related to new handling of `reselect`'s `createSelector` options.
For better or worse, we memoize just about all our selectors using lodash `isEqual` for `resultEqualityCheck`. The upgrade requires we explicitly set the `memoize` option to `lruMemoize` to continue using lodash here.
Doing that required changing our `defaultSelectorOptions`.
Instead of changing that and finding dozens of instances where we weren't using that and instead were defining selector options manually, I've created a pre-configured selector: `createMemoizedSelector`.
This is now used everywhere instead of `createSelector`.
Node authors may now create their own arbitrary/custom field types. Any pydantic model is supported.
Two notes:
1. Your field type's class name must be unique.
Suggest prefixing fields with something related to the node pack as a kind of namespace.
2. Custom field types function as connection-only fields.
For example, if your custom field has string attributes, you will not get a text input for that attribute when you give a node a field with your custom type.
This is the same behaviour as other complex fields that don't have custom UIs in the workflow editor - like, say, a string collection.
feat(ui): fix tooltips for custom types
We need to hold onto the original type of the field so they don't all just show up as "Unknown".
fix(ui): fix ts error with custom fields
feat(ui): custom field types connection validation
In the initial commit, a custom field's original type was added to the *field templates* only as `originalType`. Custom fields' `type` property was `"Custom"`*. This allowed for type safety throughout the UI logic.
*Actually, it was `"Unknown"`, but I changed it to custom for clarity.
Connection validation logic, however, uses the *field instance* of the node/field. Like the templates, *field instances* with custom types have their `type` set to `"Custom"`, but they didn't have an `originalType` property. As a result, all custom fields could be connected to all other custom fields.
To resolve this, we need to add `originalType` to the *field instances*, then switch the validation logic to use this instead of `type`.
This ended up needing a bit of fanagling:
- If we make `originalType` a required property on field instances, existing workflows will break during connection validation, because they won't have this property. We'd need a new layer of logic to migrate the workflows, adding the new `originalType` property.
While this layer is probably needed anyways, typing `originalType` as optional is much simpler. Workflow migration logic can come layer.
(Technically, we could remove all references to field types from the workflow files, and let the templates hold all this information. This feels like a significant change and I'm reluctant to do it now.)
- Because `originalType` is optional, anywhere we care about the type of a field, we need to use it over `type`. So there are a number of `field.originalType ?? field.type` expressions. This is a bit of a gotcha, we'll need to remember this in the future.
- We use `Array.prototype.includes()` often in the workflow editor, e.g. `COLLECTION_TYPES.includes(type)`. In these cases, the const array is of type `FieldType[]`, and `type` is is `FieldType`.
Because we now support custom types, the arg `type` is now widened from `FieldType` to `string`.
This causes a TS error. This behaviour is somewhat controversial (see https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14520). These expressions are now rewritten as `COLLECTION_TYPES.some((t) => t === type)` to satisfy TS. It's logically equivalent.
fix(ui): typo
feat(ui): add CustomCollection and CustomPolymorphic field types
feat(ui): add validation for CustomCollection & CustomPolymorphic types
- Update connection validation for custom types
- Use simple string parsing to determine if a field is a collection or polymorphic type.
- No longer need to keep a list of collection and polymorphic types.
- Added runtime checks in `baseinvocation.py` to ensure no fields are named in such a way that it could mess up the new parsing

fix(ui): rename 'nodes.currentConnectionFieldType' -> 'nodes.connectionStartFieldType'
This was confusingly named and kept tripping me up. Renamed to be consistent with the `reactflow` `ConnectionStartParams` type.

"Custom", "CustomCollection" and "CustomPolymorphic" are reserved field names.

feat(nodes): remove broken implementation of default_factory on InputField
Use of this could break connection validation due to the difference in node schemas required fields and invoke() required args.
Removed entirely for now. It wasn't ever actually used by the system, because all graphs always had values provided for fields where default_factory was used.
Also, pydantic is smart enough to not reuse the same object when specifying a default value - it clones the object first. So, the common pattern of `default_factory=list` is extraneous. It can just be `default=[]`.

chore(ui): typegen
Previously the editor was using prop-drilling node data and templates to get values deep into nodes. This ended up causing very noticeable performance degradation. For example, any text entry fields were super laggy.
Refactor the whole thing to use memoized selectors via hooks. The hooks are mostly very narrow, returning only the data needed.
Data objects are never passed down, only node id and field name - sometimes the field kind ('input' or 'output').
The end result is a *much* smoother node editor with very minimal rerenders.
