Closes #733.

On native, class strings with a data-[…] variant were never cached, because the cache key didn't include props. So components using them resolved their whole class string again on every render, even when nothing changed.

What changed

• Style records carry the names of the data-* attributes their rule reads (dataAttributeNames) instead of the hasDataAttributes flag.
• resolveStyles saves those names per class string in a map that's cleared in reinit.
• getStyles adds JSON.stringify(names.map(name => props?.[name] ?? null)) to the key, so these results are cached like any other.

Measured

@harveyappleton's repro app (400 squares re-rendered 30 times with unchanged props), iPhone 17 simulator, Expo Go SDK 58, production JS, 3 runs each, on this branch's first version (review changes since only affect how the names are stored). Builds and steps to re-run: https://github.com/JaydeepAgravat/uniwind-733-measure

Tests: new data-attributes-cache.test.ts covers caching, switching values, 1 vs "1", and unused data-* props.

Thanks to @harveyappleton for the report, the profiling and the repro app.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Styles are now cached separately when relevant data-* attribute values differ, including missing, boolean, numeric, and string values.
  • Numeric and string values that look alike remain distinct, as do boolean values and their string equivalents.
  • Changes to data attributes that do not affect a style rule no longer create separate cache entries, allowing matching styles to reuse cached results.

Walkthrough

The native store now caches styles that use data-attribute variants. Cache keys include the current values of attributes read by the class rules. Style metadata records those attribute names or null.

Changes: Native style caching

Record rule-read data attributes packages/uniwind/src/core/types.ts, packages/uniwind/src/bundler/css-processor/addMetaToStylesTemplate.ts, packages/uniwind/tests/native/styles-parsing/matches.test.ts, CONTEXT.md	Style records now contain the names of data attributes used by rules, or null. Tests and documentation reflect this metadata.
Cache styles by relevant prop values packages/uniwind/src/core/native/store.ts, packages/uniwind/tests/native/core/data-attributes-cache.test.ts	The native store adds current values for rule-referenced attributes to cache keys and caches resolved styles. Tests cover cache reuse, distinct values, missing props, and unused props.

Native lists with many distinct data values can grow the style cache even when those values match no rule. Bound that growth before merging unless the memory cost is explicitly accepted.

Confidence Score: 4/5

[Medium impact] The changes reach native style resolution for class strings with data variants.

Guard raw data prop values before merging so building a cache key cannot stop a component from rendering.

Findings

1.  Data props can crash rendering ▶

Summary

This PR caches native styles that depend on data attributes.

• Native styles with data variants reuse results when relevant props stay the same.

Review used static code checks; tests and visual checks were not run.

First resolve of every class string costs much more now, even without data attributes

[JaydeepAgravat]

You're right, thanks for catching it. The memo did a second pass over every class string on its first resolve, and stored an entry even for strings without data variants.

Fixed in 83d1c8e:

• Data attributes are now collected in the loop resolveStyles already runs (where hasDataAttributes was checked on main), so there's no second pass.
• The separate memo is gone. For a class string with data variants, the collected attributes are stored in the style cache under the key without data values. Strings without data variants are looked up and stored under that key exactly as on main, and nothing extra is kept for them.

Measured with getStyles on 12,285 class strings never seen before (Jest, median of 7 runs, main and this branch run alternately 3 times):

	main	before fix	now
first resolve, no data variants	85–93 ms	119–125 ms	86–89 ms
first resolve, with data-[active=true]	90–101 ms	143–162 ms	115–116 ms
20k repeat calls, no data variants	3 ms	3 ms	3 ms
20k repeat calls, with data-[active=true]	43–48 ms	6 ms	9 ms

The remaining cost on the first resolve of strings with data variants is storing the result, which main skipped for them. Every later render of those strings is then a cache hit.

New test: a class string without data variants leaves only its style result in the cache.

[Brentlok]

I think it's more complex than it needs to be though.

The DataAttributesEntry class only exists so markers can live in the same cache as results. That means the cache holds two types, there's an instanceof check on every read, and the tests have to filter out the markers. I'd rather keep a separate Map<className, Array<string>>, fill it from resolveStyles, and clear it in reinit.

I'd also drop the expected-value handling: emitting values at build time, the Sets, and the true/"true" normalization. All of it is there to save a few cache entries, but it has to match generateMatches exactly or we serve the wrong style. Emitting only the attribute names and adding JSON.stringify(names.map(name => props?.[name] ?? null)) to the key works, and it keeps 1 and "1" apart without any special handling.

[JaydeepAgravat]

Done, in 54a9cc0 and f1efd5f:

• the names map is filled from resolveStyles and cleared in reinit
• the key part is the JSON.stringify you suggested
• the values, Sets and true/"true" normalization are gone
• the resolve result is back to main's shape

One note: JSON.stringify would throw on a BigInt or circular object in a data-* prop. I left it unguarded, since matches() can't match those anyway. Happy to add a guard if you want one.

Numbers, alternating with main: 20k repeat calls with a data variant 43–46 → 6 ms, plain repeat calls unchanged. The first resolve of a new plain string pays one lookup in the names map, about 0.35 µs per class string (87 → 91 ms for 12k new strings), once per string.

I also shortened the PR description to match.

Thanks for the reviews and for pushing me toward the simpler version, @Brentlok. And thanks again @harveyappleton for the profiling and the repro, it made this easy to measure.
