vue中watch和computed为什么能监听到数据的改变以及不同之处

先来个流程图，水平有限，凑活看吧-_-||

首先在创建一个Vue应用时：

var app = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
    message: 'Hello Vue!'
  }
})

Vue构造函数源码：

//创建Vue构造函数
function Vue (options) {
  if (!(this instanceof Vue)
  ) {
    warn('Vue is a constructor and should be called with the `new` keyword');
  }
  this._init(options);
}
//_init方法，会初始化data,watch,computed等
Vue.prototype._init = function (options) {
  var vm = this;
  // a uid
  vm._uid = uid$3++;
  ......
  // expose real self
  vm._self = vm;
  initLifecycle(vm);
  initEvents(vm);
  initRender(vm);
  callHook(vm, 'beforeCreate');
  initInjections(vm); // resolve injections before data/props
  initState(vm);
  ......
};

在initState方法中会初始化data、watch和computed，并调用observe函数监听data(Object.defineProperty)：

function initState (vm) {
  vm._watchers = [];
  var opts = vm.$options;
  if (opts.props) { initProps(vm, opts.props); }
  if (opts.methods) { initMethods(vm, opts.methods); }
  if (opts.data) {
    initData(vm);//initData中也会调用observe方法
  } else {
    observe(vm._data = {}, true /* asRootData */);
  }
  if (opts.computed) { initComputed(vm, opts.computed); }
  if (opts.watch && opts.watch !== nativeWatch) {
    initWatch(vm, opts.watch);
  }
}

1、observe

observe在initState 时被调用，为vue实例的data属性值创建getter、setter函数，在setter中dep.depend会把watcher实例添加到Dep实例的subs属性中，在getter中会调用dep.notify，调用watcher的update方法。

/**
 * Attempt to create an observer instance for a value,
 * returns the new observer if successfully observed,
 * or the existing observer if the value already has one.
 * 该函数在initState中有调用
 */
function observe (value, asRootData) {
  if (!isObject(value) || value instanceof VNode) {
    return
  }
  var ob;
  if (hasOwn(value, '__ob__') && value.__ob__ instanceof Observer) {
    ob = value.__ob__;
  } else if (
    shouldObserve &&
    !isServerRendering() &&
    (Array.isArray(value) || isPlainObject(value)) &&
    Object.isExtensible(value) &&
    !value._isVue
  ) {
    ob = new Observer(value);
  }
  if (asRootData && ob) {
    ob.vmCount++;
  }
  re * Observer class that is attached to each observed

 * object. Once attached, the observer converts the target
 * object's property keys into getter/setters that
 * collect dependencies and dispatch updates.
 */
var Observer = function Observer (value) {
  this.value = value;
  this.dep = new Dep();
  this.vmCount = 0;
  def(value, '__ob__', this);
  if (Array.isArray(value)) {
    if (hasProto) {
      protoAugment(value, arrayMethods);
    } else {
      copyAugment(value, arrayMethods, arrayKeys);
    }
    this.observeArray(value);
  } else {
    this.walk(value);
  }
};
/**
 * Walk through all properties and convert them into
 * getter/setters. This method should only be called when
 * value type is Object.
 */
Observer.prototype.walk = function walk (obj) {
  var keys = Object.keys(obj);
  for (var i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) {
    defineReactive$$1(obj, keys[i]);
  }
};
/**
 * Define a reactive property on an Object.
 */
function defineReactive$$1 (
  obj,
  key,
  val,
  customSetter,
  shallow
) {
  var dep = new Dep();

  var property = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(obj, key);
  if (property && property.configurable === false) {
    return
  }

  // cater for pre-defined getter/setters
  var getter = property && property.get;
  var setter = property && property.set;
  if ((!getter || setter) && arguments.length === 2) {
    val = obj[key];
  }

  var childOb = !shallow && observe(val);
  Object.defineProperty(obj, key, {
    enumerable: true,
    configurable: true,
    get: function reactiveGetter () {
      var value = getter ? getter.call(obj) : val;
　　　　//Dep.target 全局变量指向的就是指向当前正在解析生成的 Watcher
　　　　//会执行到dep.addSub，将Watcher添加到Dep对象的Watcher数组中
      if (Dep.target) {
        dep.depend();
        if (childOb) {
          childOb.dep.depend();
          if (Array.isArray(value)) {
            dependArray(value);
          }
        }
      }
      return value
    },
    set: function reactiveSetter (newVal) {
      var value = getter ? getter.call(obj) : val;
      /* eslint-disable no-self-compare */
      if (newVal === value || (newVal !== newVal && value !== value)) {
        return
      }
      /* eslint-enable no-self-compare */
      if (customSetter) {
        customSetter();
      }
      // #7981: for accessor properties without setter
      if (getter && !setter) { return }
      if (setter) {
        setter.call(obj, newVal);
      } else {
        val = newVal;
      }
      childOb = !shallow && observe(newVal);
      dep.notify();//如果数据被重新赋值了, 调用 Dep 的 notify 方法, 通知所有的 Watcher

 } }); }

2、Dep

Watcher的update方法是在new Dep的notify的方法中被调用的

/**
 * A dep is an observable that can have multiple
 * directives subscribing to it.
 */
var Dep = function Dep () {
  this.id = uid++;
  this.subs = [];
};
//设置某个Watcher的依赖
//这里添加Dep.target，用来判断是不是Watcher的构造函数调用
//也就是其this.get调用
Dep.prototype.depend = function depend () {
  if (Dep.target) {
    Dep.target.addDep(this);
  }
};
//在该方法中会触发subs的update方法
Dep.prototype.notify = function notify () {
  // stabilize the subscriber list first
  var subs = this.subs.slice();
  if (!config.async) {
    // subs aren't sorted in scheduler if not running async
    // we need to sort them now to make sure they fire in correct
    // order
    subs.sort(function (a, b) { return a.id - b.id; });
  }
  for (var i = 0, l = subs.length; i < l; i++) {
    subs[i].update();
  }
};

3、watch

初始化watch，函数中会调用createWatcher，createWatcher会调用$watch，$watch调用new Watcher实例。

function initWatch (vm, watch) {
  for (var key in watch) {
    var handler = watch[key];
    if (Array.isArray(handler)) {
      for (var i = 0; i < handler.length; i++) {
        createWatcher(vm, key, handler[i]);
      }
    } else {
      createWatcher(vm, key, handler);
    }
  }
}
function createWatcher (
  vm,
  expOrFn,
  handler,
  options
) {
  if (isPlainObject(handler)) {
    options = handler;
    handler = handler.handler;
  }
  if (typeof handler === 'string') {
    handler = vm[handler];
  }
  return vm.$watch(expOrFn, handler, options)
}
Vue.prototype.$watch = function (
  expOrFn,
  cb,
  options
) {
  var vm = this;
  if (isPlainObject(cb)) {
    return createWatcher(vm, expOrFn, cb, options)
  }
  options = options || {};
  options.user = true;
  var watcher = new Watcher(vm, expOrFn, cb, options);
  if (options.immediate) {
    try {
      cb.call(vm, watcher.value);
    } catch (error) {
      handleError(error, vm, ("callback for immediate watcher "" + (watcher.expression) + """));
    }
  }
  return function unwatchFn () {
    watcher.teardown();
  }
};
}

2、computed

初始化computed，调用new Watcher()，并通过defineComputed函数将计算属性挂载到vue实例上，使计算属性可以在模板中使用

var computedWatcherOptions = { lazy: true }

function initComputed (vm, computed) {
  // $flow-disable-line
  var watchers = vm._computedWatchers = Object.create(null);
  // computed properties are just getters during SSR
  var isSSR = isServerRendering();

  for (var key in computed) {
    var userDef = computed[key];
    var getter = typeof userDef === 'function' ? userDef : userDef.get;
　　//getter也就是computed的函数
    if (getter == null) {
      warn(
        ("Getter is missing for computed property "" + key + ""."),
        vm
      );
    }

    if (!isSSR) {
      // create internal watcher for the computed property.
      watchers[key] = new Watcher(
        vm,
        getter || noop,
        noop,
        computedWatcherOptions
      );
    }

    //组件定义的计算属性已在
    //组件原型。我们只需要定义定义的计算属性
    //在这里实例化。
    if (!(key in vm)) {
      defineComputed(vm, key, userDef);
    } else {
      if (key in vm.$data) {
        warn(("The computed property "" + key + "" is already defined in data."), vm);
      } else if (vm.$options.props && key in vm.$options.props) {
        warn(("The computed property "" + key + "" is already defined as a prop."), vm);
      }
    }
  }
}

function defineComputed (
  target,
  key,
  userDef
) {
  var shouldCache = !isServerRendering();//true
  if (typeof userDef === 'function') {
    sharedPropertyDefinition.get = shouldCache
      ? createComputedGetter(key)
      : createGetterInvoker(userDef);
    sharedPropertyDefinition.set = noop;
  } else {
    sharedPropertyDefinition.get = userDef.get
      ? shouldCache && userDef.cache !== false
        ? createComputedGetter(key)
        : createGetterInvoker(userDef.get)
      : noop;
    sharedPropertyDefinition.set = userDef.set || noop;
  }
  if (sharedPropertyDefinition.set === noop) {
    sharedPropertyDefinition.set = function () {
      warn(
        ("Computed property "" + key + "" was assigned to but it has no setter."),
        this
      );
    };
  }
  Object.defineProperty(target, key, sharedPropertyDefinition);
}
//computed的getter函数，在模板获取对应computed数据时会调用
function createComputedGetter (key) {
  return function computedGetter () {
    var watcher = this._computedWatchers && this._computedWatchers[key];
    if (watcher) {
      if (watcher.dirty) {//true
        watcher.evaluate();//该方法会调用watcher.get方法，也就是computed对应的函数
      }
      if (Dep.target) {
        watcher.depend();
      }
      return watcher.value
    }
  }
}

通过以上代码可以看到watch和computed都是通过new Watcher实例实现数据的监听的，但是computed的options中lazy为true，这个参数导致它们走的是两条不同路线。

computed：模板获取数据时，触发其getter函数，最终调用watcher.get，也就是调用对应回调函数。

watch：模板获取数据时，触发其getter函数，将watcher添加到对应的Dep.subs中，在之后setter被调用时，Dep.notify通知所有watcher进行update，最终调用watcher.cb,也就是调用对应回调函数。

3、Watcher

构造函数在是watch时，会最后调用this.get，会触发属性的getter函数，将该Watcher添加到Dep的subs中，用于通知数据变动时调用。

调用Watcher实例的update方法会触发其run方法，run方法中会调用触发函数。其depend方法会调用new Dep的depend方法，dep的depend会调用Watcher的addDep方法，最终会把该watcher实例添加到Dep的subs属性中

/**
   *观察者解析表达式，收集依赖项，
   *并在表达式值更改时激发回调。
   *这用于$watch（）api和指令。
   */
  var Watcher = function Watcher (
    vm,
    expOrFn,
    cb,
    options,
    isRenderWatcher
  ) {
    this.vm = vm;
  ......
    this.cb = cb;//触发函数
    this.id = ++uid$2; // uid for batching
    this.active = true;
    this.dirty = this.lazy; // for lazy watchers
  ......
    this.value = this.lazy ? undefined ? this.get();//computed会返回undefined，而watch会执行Watcher.get
  };

  /**
   * Scheduler job interface.
   * Will be called by the scheduler.
   * 该方法会执行触发函数
   */
  Watcher.prototype.run = function run () {
    if (this.active) {
      var value = this.get();
      if (
        value !== this.value ||
        // Deep watchers and watchers on Object/Arrays should fire even
        // when the value is the same, because the value may
        // have mutated.
        isObject(value) ||
        this.deep
      ) {
        // set new value
        var oldValue = this.value;
        this.value = value;
        if (this.user) {
          try {
            this.cb.call(this.vm, value, oldValue);
          } catch (e) {
            handleError(e, this.vm, ("callback for watcher "" + (this.expression) + """));
          }
        } else {
          this.cb.call(this.vm, value, oldValue);
        }
      }
    }
  };
  /**
   * Evaluate the getter, and re-collect dependencies.
   */
  Watcher.prototype.get = function get () {
    pushTarget(this);
    var value;
    var vm = this.vm;
    try {
      value = this.getter.call(vm, vm);
    } catch (e) {
      if (this.user) {
        handleError(e, vm, ("getter for watcher "" + (this.expression) + """));
      } else {
        throw e
      }
    } finally {
      // "touch" every property so they are all tracked as
      // dependencies for deep watching
      if (this.deep) {
        traverse(value);
      }
      popTarget();
      this.cleanupDeps();
    }
    return value
  };

  /**
   * Subscriber interface.
   * Will be called when a dependency changes.
   * 在方法中调用Watcher的run方法
   */
  Watcher.prototype.update = function update () {
    /* istanbul ignore else */
    if (this.lazy) {
      this.dirty = true;
    } else if (this.sync) {
      this.run();
    } else {
      queueWatcher(this);//该方法最终也会调用run方法
    }
  };
  /**
   * Depend on all deps collected by this watcher.会调用new Dep的depend方法，dep的depend会调用Watcher的addDep方法
   */
  Watcher.prototype.depend = function depend () {
    var i = this.deps.length;
    while (i--) {
      this.deps[i].depend();
    }
  };

   */
  Watcher.prototype.addDep = function addDep (dep) {
    var id = dep.id;
