Summary

This PR introduces two complementary lifecycle primitives to @solid-primitives/lifecycle:

  1. onInitialRender(fn): Executes a callback exactly once after client-side hydration and the initial microtask queue have settled. Preserves the reactive Owner hierarchy from the call-site and safely no-ops during SSR.
  2. onDeferred(fn, options): Schedules a callback post-mount after a configurable delay or during browser idle windows (requestIdleCallback). If the component unmounts before execution, pending timers/idle callbacks are automatically cancelled.

Use Cases

  • Deferring non-critical canvas/WebGL initializations until post-hydration.
  • Scheduling low-priority telemetry, service workers, or analytics without blocking the initial paint or hydration pipeline.

Changes

  • packages/lifecycle/src/index.ts: Added onInitialRender, onDeferred, and DeferredOptions.
  • packages/lifecycle/test/index.test.ts: Added Vitest tests for async execution, reactive context preservation, early disposal cancellation, and manual aborts.
  • .changeset/lifecycle-on-initial-render-deferred.md: Added minor changeset.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added onInitialRender for running callbacks after the initial render.
    • Added onDeferred for scheduling callbacks after a configurable delay or during browser idle time.
    • Scheduled callbacks are safely canceled when their scope is disposed and are skipped during server-side rendering.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for asynchronous execution, cancellation, delays, disposal, and reactive scope preservation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The lifecycle package now exports onInitialRender and onDeferred. Both preserve the Solid owner, support cleanup cancellation, and no-op during SSR. Tests cover timing, delays, disposal, and cancellation.

Changes

Lifecycle primitives

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scheduling API and implementation
.changeset/lifecycle-on-initial-render-deferred.md, packages/lifecycle/src/index.ts
The package adds DeferredOptions, onInitialRender, and onDeferred. The primitives support microtask, timeout, and idle scheduling, owner preservation, cleanup cancellation, explicit cancellation, and SSR no-op behavior.
Scheduling behavior validation
packages/lifecycle/test/index.test.ts
Tests cover asynchronous timing, reactive owner scope, unmount cancellation, delays, disposal, and manual cancellation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3f5f4

The new lifecycle primitives defer work until mount and microtask processing, but the current tests perform timer advancement and disposal too early, allowing important behavior to be missed or falsely validated. The PR should not merge until these tests sequence assertions and cleanup after the lifecycle callbacks are registered.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Run lifecycle assertions only after registration completes.

createRoot flushes onMount after its callback returns. Move timer advancement and root disposal outside the callback, await vi.runAllTicksAsync() before asserting onInitialRender, and dispose roots only after those assertions. Otherwise the tests can either prevent scheduling entirely or pass without exercising onDeferred cancellation.
