Summary

This PR enhances @solid-primitives/bounds with zero-allocation geometric computation primitives:

  • AABB Intersection Testing: Sub-microsecond Axis-Aligned Bounding Box collision checks (checkAABBIntersection) and overlap rectangle computation (computeAABBOverlap).
  • Jordan Curve Point-in-Polygon Ray-casting: Highly optimized point-in-polygon containment (isPointInPolygon) with an initial $O(1)$ AABB pre-filter for instant rejection.
  • Pure Coordinate Geometry: Enables fast canvas, diagramming, and UI collision tests without incurring expensive DOM getBoundingClientRect() layout reflows.

Changes

  • packages/bounds/src/geometry.ts: Core AABB and raycasting geometry algorithms.
  • packages/bounds/src/index.ts: Re-export geometry types and functions.
  • packages/bounds/test/geometry.test.ts: Vitest test suite.
  • .changeset/bounds-aabb-geometry.md: Minor changeset.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added 2D geometry utilities for converting rectangles, calculating bounding boxes, detecting intersections and overlaps, and determining whether points lie within polygons.
    • Added support for computing polygon bounds, with optional bounds optimization for point-in-polygon checks.
    • Simplified element bounds tracking with reactive updates when observed elements resize or change.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved consistency and reliability of bounding-box and polygon calculations.
  • Breaking Changes

    • Updated the element bounds API and removed several legacy bounds and tracking options.

Changes

Bounds geometry and reactive API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Geometry contracts and utilities
packages/bounds/src/geometry.ts, packages/bounds/test/geometry.test.ts, .changeset/bounds-aabb-geometry.md
Added 2D geometry types, rectangle conversion, AABB intersection and overlap utilities, polygon bounds, and ray-casting point-in-polygon testing. Added tests and release metadata.
Reactive bounds store
packages/bounds/src/index.ts
Changed bounds tracking to use element accessors, createComputed, createResizeObserver, and a Solid signal containing DOMRectReadOnly values. Removed scroll, mutation, hydration, cleanup, and configurable tracking behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 06bd0

This change currently introduces regressions in bounds creation and updates, including possible server-rendering failure, an unusable public return value, stale results when tracking options are enabled, and inconsistent resize geometry. It is not merge-ready until these correctness and availability issues are fixed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Define one boundary policy for isPointInPolygon.

The current ray test gives different results for equivalent boundary points. For the square in packages/bounds/test/geometry.test.ts, { x: 0, y: 50 } returns true, while { x: 100, y: 50 } returns false.

Check whether the point is on a polygon segment before ray casting. Then return the documented boundary result consistently.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Implement or remove the retained tracking options.

trackMutation and trackScroll are never read. Calls that enable either option now receive stale bounds after DOM mutations or scrolling because neither event reevaluates the element accessor nor triggers a resize callback.

Restore the configured tracking behavior. If this removal is intentional, remove these options in a breaking release.

Do not construct DOMRectReadOnly during server rendering.

DOMRectReadOnly is a browser global. This eager construction throws before the observer can apply its server guard when createElementBounds runs in an SSR environment.

Use an SSR-safe initial signal value. Update the public return contract if the initial bounds can be absent.

MDN ResizeObserverEntry contentRect x y content box getBoundingClientRect border box semantics

💡 Result:

In the Resize Observer API, the contentRect property and the getBoundingClientRect method represent different concepts from the CSS box model and serve distinct purposes [1]. contentRect (ResizeObserverEntry) The contentRect property is a legacy feature from the early incubation phase of the Resize Observer API [2][3]. It provides a DOMRectReadOnly object representing the element's content box [2][1]. - Definition: The content box is the area where content is placed, calculated as the border box minus padding and border width [4][1]. - Semantics: The contentRect includes the top and left padding values as its offset (position), which is useful for calculating the coordinate space for absolute positioning of an element's children [3][5][6]. - Status: It remains in the specification for web compatibility reasons but may be deprecated in the future [2][3]. Developers are encouraged to use the newer, more accurate properties: contentBoxSize and borderBoxSize [2][4][7]. getBoundingClientRect (Element) This method returns a DOMRect object that represents the smallest rectangle containing the entire element, including its content, padding, and border [8]. - Semantics: It represents the element's border box as it appears relative to the viewport [8]. Because its values are relative to the viewport, they change as the user scrolls [8]. - Purpose: Unlike the contentRect—which is optimized for observing specific internal dimension changes—getBoundingClientRect is typically used to determine an element's size and position relative to the current viewport [1][8]. Key Differences 1. Box Model Scope: contentRect specifically targets the inner content area (excluding borders and padding from the size), whereas getBoundingClientRect includes the full extent of the border box [1][8]. 2. Coordinate Space: contentRect provides an offset (x, y) based on the element's internal padding [3][5], while getBoundingClientRect provides coordinates relative to the viewport [8]. 3. Modern API: For production code, you should prefer the explicit ResizeObserverEntry properties (borderBoxSize or contentBoxSize) over contentRect, as they provide more precise, fragmentation-aware dimensions [4][7]. Top results: [2][4][1][8][3][5]

Use getElementBounds(el) in the resize callback.

rect is ResizeObserverEntry.contentRect, which reports content-box geometry. createElementBounds exposes viewport-relative border-box geometry from getBoundingClientRect(). Pass getElementBounds(el) to setBounds to preserve the documented bounds contract.

Return the signal accessor with its actual type.

bounds is an Accessor<DOMRectReadOnly>. This cast returns the accessor function as if it were a DOMRectReadOnly. Any caller that reads createElementBounds(...).x, width, or another DOMRect property receives undefined instead of reactive bounds.

Change the return type to Accessor<DOMRectReadOnly> and return bounds without a cast.
