Vue源码分析(二) : Vue实例挂载
author: @TiffanysBear
实例挂载主要是 $mount 方法的实现，在 src/platforms/web/entry-runtime-with-compiler.js & src/platforms/web/runtime/index.js 等文件中都有对Vue.prototype.$mount的定义:
// vue/platforms/web/entry-runtime-with-compiler.js
Vue.prototype.$mount = function (
el?: string | Element,
hydrating?: boolean
): Component {
el = el && query(el)
/* istanbul ignore if */
if (el === document.body || el === document.documentElement) {
process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && warn(
`Do not mount Vue to <html> or <body> - mount to normal elements instead.`
)
return this
}
const options = this.$options
// resolve template/el and convert to render function
if (!options.render) {
let template = options.template
if (template) {
if (typeof template === 'string') {
if (template.charAt(0) === '#') {
template = idToTemplate(template)
/* istanbul ignore if */
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && !template) {
warn(
`Template element not found or is empty: ${options.template}`,
this
)
}
}
} else if (template.nodeType) {
template = template.innerHTML
} else {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
warn('invalid template option:' + template, this)
}
return this
}
} else if (el) {
template = getOuterHTML(el)
}
if (template) {
/* istanbul ignore if */
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && config.performance && mark) {
mark('compile')
}
const { render, staticRenderFns } = compileToFunctions(template, {
outputSourceRange: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
shouldDecodeNewlines,
shouldDecodeNewlinesForHref,
delimiters: options.delimiters,
comments: options.comments
}, this)
options.render = render
options.staticRenderFns = staticRenderFns
/* istanbul ignore if */
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && config.performance && mark) {
mark('compile end')
measure(`vue ${this._name} compile`, 'compile', 'compile end')
}
}
}
return mount.call(this, el, hydrating)
}
$mount方法进来会先进行缓存，之后再进行覆盖重写，再重写的方法里面会调用之前缓存的mount方法，这种做法是因为，多个平台platform的mount方法不同，在入口处进行重写，使后续的多入口能够复用公用定义的mount方法（原先原型上的 $mount 方法在 src/platform/web/runtime/index.js 中定义）。
在$mount方法中，会先判断options中 el 是否存在，再判断 render （有template存在的条件下也需要有render函数），之后再是再判断template，会对template做一定的校验，最后使用 compileToFunctions 将template转化为render 和 staticRenderFns.
compileToFunctions编译过程就放在下面文章中再详细解释。
mountComponent方法定义在 src/core/instance/lifecycle.js中，
// src/core/instance/lifecycle.js
export function mountComponent (
vm: Component,
el: ?Element,
hydrating?: boolean
): Component {
vm.$el = el
if (!vm.$options.render) {
vm.$options.render = createEmptyVNode
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
/* istanbul ignore if */
if ((vm.$options.template && vm.$options.template.charAt(0) !== '#') ||
vm.$options.el || el) {
warn(
'You are using the runtime-only build of Vue where the template ' +
'compiler is not available. Either pre-compile the templates into ' +
'render functions, or use the compiler-included build.',
vm
)
} else {
warn(
'Failed to mount component: template or render function not defined.',
vm
)
}
}
}
callHook(vm, 'beforeMount')
let updateComponent
/* istanbul ignore if */
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && config.performance && mark) {
updateComponent = () => {
const name = vm._name
const id = vm._uid
const startTag = `vue-perf-start:${id}`
const endTag = `vue-perf-end:${id}`
mark(startTag)
const vnode = vm._render()
mark(endTag)
measure(`vue ${name} render`, startTag, endTag)
mark(startTag)
vm._update(vnode, hydrating)
mark(endTag)
measure(`vue ${name} patch`, startTag, endTag)
}
} else {
updateComponent = () => {
vm._update(vm._render(), hydrating)
}
}
// we set this to vm._watcher inside the watcher's constructor
// since the watcher's initial patch may call $forceUpdate (e.g. inside child
// component's mounted hook), which relies on vm._watcher being already defined
new Watcher(vm, updateComponent, noop, {
before () {
if (vm._isMounted && !vm._isDestroyed) {
callHook(vm, 'beforeUpdate')
}
}
}, true /* isRenderWatcher */)
hydrating = false
// manually mounted instance, call mounted on self
// mounted is called for render-created child components in its inserted hook
if (vm.$vnode == null) {
vm._isMounted = true
callHook(vm, 'mounted')
}
return vm
}
从上面的代码可以看到，mountComponent 核心就是先实例化一个渲染Watcher(字段isRenderWatcher)，在它的回调函数中会调用 updateComponent 方法，在此方法中调用 vm._render 方法先生成虚拟 Node，最终调用 vm._update 更新 DOM。
Watcher 在这里起到两个作用，一个是初始化的时候会执行回调函数，另一个是当 vm 实例中的监测的数据发生变化的时候执行回调函数，这块儿我们会在之后的章节中介绍。
函数最后判断为根节点的时候设置 vm._isMounted 为 true， 表示这个实例已经挂载了，同时执行 mounted 钩子函数。 这里注意 vm.$vnode 表示 Vue 实例的父虚拟 Node，所以它为 Null 则表示当前是根 Vue 的实例。
因此接下来分析的重点在于：vm._update 和 m._render
_render
Vue的_render是实例的一个私有方法，定义在 src/core/instance/render.js文件中，返回一个虚拟节点vnode。
// src/core/instance/render.js
Vue.prototype._render = function (): VNode {
const vm: Component = this
const { render, _parentVnode } = vm.$options
if (_parentVnode) {
vm.$scopedSlots = normalizeScopedSlots(
_parentVnode.data.scopedSlots,
vm.$slots,
vm.$scopedSlots
)
}
// set parent vnode. this allows render functions to have access
// to the data on the placeholder node.
vm.$vnode = _parentVnode
// render self
let vnode
try {
// There's no need to maintain a stack because all render fns are called
// separately from one another. Nested component's render fns are called
// when parent component is patched.
currentRenderingInstance = vm
vnode = render.call(vm._renderProxy, vm.$createElement)
} catch (e) {
handleError(e, vm, `render`)
// return error render result,
// or previous vnode to prevent render error causing blank component
/* istanbul ignore else */
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && vm.$options.renderError) {
try {
vnode = vm.$options.renderError.call(vm._renderProxy, vm.$createElement, e)
} catch (e) {
handleError(e, vm, `renderError`)
vnode = vm._vnode
}
} else {
vnode = vm._vnode
}
} finally {
currentRenderingInstance = null
}
// if the returned array contains only a single node, allow it
if (Array.isArray(vnode) && vnode.length === 1) {
vnode = vnode[0]
}
// return empty vnode in case the render function errored out
if (!(vnode instanceof VNode)) {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && Array.isArray(vnode)) {
warn(
'Multiple root nodes returned from render function. Render function ' +
'should return a single root node.',
vm
)
}
vnode = createEmptyVNode()
}
// set parent
vnode.parent = _parentVnode
return vnode
}
这段函数方法的重点在于render方法的调用，第一种是分为手写的render函数，这种并不常用，比较常用的是template模板，在之前的 mounted 方法的实现时，会将template编译为一个render函数。
其中vm._renderProxy是定义在/src/core/instance/proxy.js文件中，判断如果支持Proxy，如果不支持，返回的是vm，支持的话返回用Proxy代理的vm。
// src/core/instance/proxy.js
initProxy = function initProxy (vm) {
if (hasProxy) {
// determine which proxy handler to use
const options = vm.$options
const handlers = options.render && options.render._withStripped
? getHandler
: hasHandler
vm._renderProxy = new Proxy(vm, handlers)
} else {
vm._renderProxy = vm
}
}
其中vm.$createElement也就是在 src/core/instance/render.js文件中：
// src/core/instance/render.js
import { createElement } from '../vdom/create-element'
// bind the createElement fn to this instance
// so that we get proper render context inside it.
// args order: tag, data, children, normalizationType, alwaysNormalize
// internal version is used by render functions compiled from templates
vm._c = (a, b, c, d) => createElement(vm, a, b, c, d, false)
// normalization is always applied for the public version, used in
// user-written render functions.
vm.$createElement = (a, b, c, d) => createElement(vm, a, b, c, d, true)
可以从注释中看出：
vm._c是template模板编译为render function时使用的；
vm.$createElement是用户手写的render function时使用；
这两个函数的支持的参数相同，并且内部都调用了 vdom/create-element 的 createElement方法。
Virtual DOM
在讲_update方法之前，了解下Virtual DOM到底是什么？
Virtual DOM也就是虚拟DOM，是真实数据和页面DOM元素之前的缓冲；数据一变化，并不是立马更新所有视图，而是先更新虚拟DOM，再将虚拟DOM和真实DOM进行对比diff，发生变化的部分再更新到真实DOM中，未发生变化的部分，则不进行更新。
下面是Vue对于VNode的定义：
// vue/src/core/vdom/vnode.js
export default class VNode {
tag: string | void;
data: VNodeData | void;
children: ?Array<VNode>;
text: string | void;
elm: Node | void;
ns: string | void;
context: Component | void; // rendered in this component's scope
key: string | number | void;
componentOptions: VNodeComponentOptions | void;
componentInstance: Component | void; // component instance
parent: VNode | void; // component placeholder node
// strictly internal
raw: boolean; // contains raw HTML? (server only)
isStatic: boolean; // hoisted static node
isRootInsert: boolean; // necessary for enter transition check
isComment: boolean; // empty comment placeholder?
isCloned: boolean; // is a cloned node?
isOnce: boolean; // is a v-once node?
asyncFactory: Function | void; // async component factory function
asyncMeta: Object | void;
isAsyncPlaceholder: boolean;
ssrContext: Object | void;
fnContext: Component | void; // real context vm for functional nodes
fnOptions: ?ComponentOptions; // for SSR caching
devtoolsMeta: ?Object; // used to store functional render context for devtools
fnScopeId: ?string; // functional scope id support
constructor (
tag?: string,
data?: VNodeData,
children?: ?Array<VNode>,
text?: string,
elm?: Node,
context?: Component,
componentOptions?: VNodeComponentOptions,
asyncFactory?: Function
) {
this.tag = tag
this.data = data
this.children = children
this.text = text
this.elm = elm
this.ns = undefined
this.context = context
this.fnContext = undefined
this.fnOptions = undefined
this.fnScopeId = undefined
this.key = data && data.key
this.componentOptions = componentOptions
this.componentInstance = undefined
this.parent = undefined
this.raw = false
this.isStatic = false
this.isRootInsert = true
this.isComment = false
this.isCloned = false
this.isOnce = false
this.asyncFactory = asyncFactory
this.asyncMeta = undefined
this.isAsyncPlaceholder = false
}
// DEPRECATED: alias for componentInstance for backwards compat.
/* istanbul ignore next */
get child (): Component | void {
return this.componentInstance
}
}
实际上 Vue.js 中 Virtual DOM 是借鉴了一个开源库 snabbdom 的实现，如果对Virtual DOM感兴趣的话，可以参考virtual-dom，正如其介绍，
A JavaScript DOM model supporting element creation, diff computation and patch operations for efficient re-rendering
VNode是对真实DOM的抽象描述，主要是由几个关键属性、标签名等数据组成，并不是很复杂，主要复杂的对VNode的create、diff、patch等过程。
createElement是怎么实现的
方法入口
Vue.js通过文件 src/core/vdom/create-element.js 来创建VNode元素：
// src/core/vdom/create-element.js
// wrapper function for providing a more flexible interface
// without getting yelled at by flow
export function createElement (
context: Component,
tag: any,
data: any,
children: any,
normalizationType: any,
alwaysNormalize: boolean
): VNode | Array<VNode> {
if (Array.isArray(data) || isPrimitive(data)) {
normalizationType = children
children = data
data = undefined
}
if (isTrue(alwaysNormalize)) {
normalizationType = ALWAYS_NORMALIZE
}
return _createElement(context, tag, data, children, normalizationType)
}
export function _createElement (
context: Component,
tag?: string | Class<Component> | Function | Object,
data?: VNodeData,
children?: any,
normalizationType?: number
): VNode | Array<VNode> {
if (isDef(data) && isDef((data: any).__ob__)) {
process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && warn(
`Avoid using observed data object as vnode data: ${JSON.stringify(data)}
` +
'Always create fresh vnode data objects in each render!',
context
)
return createEmptyVNode()
}
// object syntax in v-bind
if (isDef(data) && isDef(data.is)) {
tag = data.is
}
if (!tag) {
// in case of component :is set to falsy value
return createEmptyVNode()
}
// warn against non-primitive key
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' &&
isDef(data) && isDef(data.key) && !isPrimitive(data.key)
) {
if (!__WEEX__ || !('@binding' in data.key)) {
warn(
'Avoid using non-primitive value as key, ' +
'use string/number value instead.',
context
)
}
}
// support single function children as default scoped slot
if (Array.isArray(children) &&
typeof children[0] === 'function'
) {
data = data || {}
data.scopedSlots = { default: children[0] }
children.length = 0
}
if (normalizationType === ALWAYS_NORMALIZE) {
children = normalizeChildren(children)
} else if (normalizationType === SIMPLE_NORMALIZE) {
children = simpleNormalizeChildren(children)
}
let vnode, ns
if (typeof tag === 'string') {
let Ctor
ns = (context.$vnode && context.$vnode.ns) || config.getTagNamespace(tag)
if (config.isReservedTag(tag)) {
// platform built-in elements
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && isDef(data) && isDef(data.nativeOn)) {
warn(
`The .native modifier for v-on is only valid on components but it was used on <${tag}>.`,
context
)
}
vnode = new VNode(
config.parsePlatformTagName(tag), data, children,
undefined, undefined, context
)
} else if ((!data || !data.pre) && isDef(Ctor = resolveAsset(context.$options, 'components', tag))) {
// component
vnode = createComponent(Ctor, data, context, children, tag)
} else {
// unknown or unlisted namespaced elements
// check at runtime because it may get assigned a namespace when its
// parent normalizes children
vnode = new VNode(
tag, data, children,
undefined, undefined, context
)
}
} else {
// direct component options / constructor
vnode = createComponent(tag, data, context, children)
}
if (Array.isArray(vnode)) {
return vnode
} else if (isDef(vnode)) {
if (isDef(ns)) applyNS(vnode, ns)
if (isDef(data)) registerDeepBindings(data)
return vnode
} else {
return createEmptyVNode()
}
}
重点是对于 simpleNormalizeChildren 和 normalizeChildren 的处理，基本的操作就是将树状结构的children数组打平成一维数组。
normalizeArrayChildren 也就是将createElement的第三个参数，即将children不断遍历打平，不断往res里面push数据，只要是数据Array类型就不断遍历，直到是基础类型TextNode，再进行createTextVNode进行创建。
还有对于组件Component的创建，此处先按下不讲，下文再讲。
// The template compiler attempts to minimize the need for normalization by
// statically analyzing the template at compile time.
//
// For plain HTML markup, normalization can be completely skipped because the
// generated render function is guaranteed to return Array<VNode>. There are
// two cases where extra normalization is needed:
// 1. When the children contains components - because a functional component
// may return an Array instead of a single root. In this case, just a simple
// normalization is needed - if any child is an Array, we flatten the whole
// thing with Array.prototype.concat. It is guaranteed to be only 1-level deep
// because functional components already normalize their own children.
export function simpleNormalizeChildren (children: any) {
for (let i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
if (Array.isArray(children[i])) {
return Array.prototype.concat.apply([], children)
}
}
return children
}
// 2. When the children contains constructs that always generated nested Arrays,
// e.g. <template>, <slot>, v-for, or when the children is provided by user
// with hand-written render functions / JSX. In such cases a full normalization
// is needed to cater to all possible types of children values.
export function normalizeChildren (children: any): ?Array<VNode> {
return isPrimitive(children)
? [createTextVNode(children)]
: Array.isArray(children)
? normalizeArrayChildren(children)
: undefined
}
function isTextNode (node): boolean {
return isDef(node) && isDef(node.text) && isFalse(node.isComment)
}
function normalizeArrayChildren (children: any, nestedIndex?: string): Array<VNode> {
const res = []
let i, c, lastIndex, last
for (i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
c = children[i]
if (isUndef(c) || typeof c === 'boolean') continue
lastIndex = res.length - 1
last = res[lastIndex]
// nested
if (Array.isArray(c)) {
if (c.length > 0) {
c = normalizeArrayChildren(c, `${nestedIndex || ''}_${i}`)
// merge adjacent text nodes
if (isTextNode(c[0]) && isTextNode(last)) {
res[lastIndex] = createTextVNode(last.text + (c[0]: any).text)
c.shift()
}
res.push.apply(res, c)
}
} else if (isPrimitive(c)) {
if (isTextNode(last)) {
// merge adjacent text nodes
// this is necessary for SSR hydration because text nodes are
// essentially merged when rendered to HTML strings
res[lastIndex] = createTextVNode(last.text + c)
} else if (c !== '') {
// convert primitive to vnode
res.push(createTextVNode(c))
}
} else {
if (isTextNode(c) && isTextNode(last)) {
// merge adjacent text nodes
res[lastIndex] = createTextVNode(last.text + c.text)
} else {
// default key for nested array children (likely generated by v-for)
if (isTrue(children._isVList) &&
isDef(c.tag) &&
isUndef(c.key) &&
isDef(nestedIndex)) {
c.key = `__vlist${nestedIndex}_${i}__`
}
res.push(c)
}
}
}
return res
}
_update
_update这一步实际是VNode最终去生成真实DOM的过程。
对于_update方法的定义，在 src/core/instance/lifecycle.js 中：
Vue.prototype._update = function (vnode: VNode, hydrating?: boolean) {
const vm: Component = this
const prevEl = vm.$el
const prevVnode = vm._vnode
const restoreActiveInstance = setActiveInstance(vm)
vm._vnode = vnode
// Vue.prototype.__patch__ is injected in entry points
// based on the rendering backend used.
if (!prevVnode) {
// initial render
vm.$el = vm.__patch__(vm.$el, vnode, hydrating, false /* removeOnly */)
} else {
// updates
vm.$el = vm.__patch__(prevVnode, vnode)
}
restoreActiveInstance()
// update __vue__ reference
if (prevEl) {
prevEl.__vue__ = null
}
if (vm.$el) {
vm.$el.__vue__ = vm
}
// if parent is an HOC, update its $el as well
if (vm.$vnode && vm.$parent && vm.$vnode === vm.$parent._vnode) {
vm.$parent.$el = vm.$el
}
// updated hook is called by the scheduler to ensure that children are
// updated in a parent's updated hook.
}
可以看出，主要是对__patch__方法的调用，分别是首次渲染和数据更新的时候会调用；这次先是分析首次调用时，数据更新的部分会在之后响应式原理的时候再进行分析。
_update的主要目的就是将虚拟DOM渲染生成真实的DOM元素。
而__patch__方法在不同平台的调用是不同的，在浏览器中时，是patch方法，而在非浏览器环境中，比如node后端环境时，是一个noop空函数，主要也是因为只要在浏览器环境时才会有DOM元素。
文件：src/platforms/web/runtime/index.js
import { patch } from './patch'
// install platform patch function
Vue.prototype.__patch__ = inBrowser ? patch : noop
最终 patch 调用的是 src/core/vdom/patch.js 中的 createPatchFunction ，其中有个采用闭包来判断环境的技巧，因为patch方法可能是会在 weex 或者 浏览器端 上调用，如果每次调用都 if else 判断一遍，浪费性能不说，还增加了冗余的判断。于是，它采用了通过闭包判断再返回函数覆盖 patch 的方法，这样环境差异就只会判断一次，进而再次执行的时候，就不会再次判断环境。
export function createPatchFunction (backend) {
// 环境判断
// ...
return function patch (oldVnode, vnode, hydrating, removeOnly) {
// ...
}
}
同时，createPatchFunction 内部定义了一系列的辅助方法。
所以从例子来分析：
var app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
render: function (createElement) {
return createElement('div', {
attrs: {
id: 'app'
},
}, this.message)
},
data: {
message: 'Hello Vue!'
}
})
然后我们在 vm._update 的方法里是这么调用 patch 方法的：
// initial render
vm.$el = vm.__patch__(vm.$el, vnode, hydrating, false /* removeOnly */)
结合例子，在首次渲染时，所以在执行 patch 函数的时候，传入的 vm.$el 对应的是例子中 id 为 app 的 DOM 对象，这个也就是 <div id="app">， vm.$el 的赋值是在之前 mountComponent 函数做的，vnode 对应的是调用 render 函数的返回值，hydrating 在非服务端渲染情况下为 false，removeOnly 为 false。
function patch (oldVnode, vnode, hydrating, removeOnly) {
if (isUndef(vnode)) {
if (isDef(oldVnode)) invokeDestroyHook(oldVnode)
return
}
let isInitialPatch = false
const insertedVnodeQueue = []
if (isUndef(oldVnode)) {
// empty mount (likely as component), create new root element
isInitialPatch = true
createElm(vnode, insertedVnodeQueue)
} else {
const isRealElement = isDef(oldVnode.nodeType)
if (!isRealElement && sameVnode(oldVnode, vnode)) {
// patch existing root node
patchVnode(oldVnode, vnode, insertedVnodeQueue, null, null, removeOnly)
} else {
if (isRealElement) {
// mounting to a real element
// check if this is server-rendered content and if we can perform
// a successful hydration.
if (oldVnode.nodeType === 1 && oldVnode.hasAttribute(SSR_ATTR)) {
oldVnode.removeAttribute(SSR_ATTR)
hydrating = true
}
if (isTrue(hydrating)) {
if (hydrate(oldVnode, vnode, insertedVnodeQueue)) {
invokeInsertHook(vnode, insertedVnodeQueue, true)
return oldVnode
} else if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
warn(
'The client-side rendered virtual DOM tree is not matching ' +

由于我们传入的 oldVnode 实际上是一个 DOM container，所以 isRealElement 为 true，接下来又通过 emptyNodeAt 方法把 oldVnode 转换成 VNode 对象，然后再调用 createElm 方法。

createElm 的作用是通过虚拟节点创建真实的 DOM 并插入到它的父节点中。createComponent 方法目的是尝试创建子组件，接下来判断 vnode 是否包含 tag，如果包含，先简单对 tag 的合法性在非生产环境下做校验，看是否是一个合法标签；然后再去调用平台 DOM 的操作去创建一个占位符元素。
vnode.elm = vnode.ns
? nodeOps.createElementNS(vnode.ns, tag)
: nodeOps.createElement(tag, vnode)
接下来是通过 createChildren 创建子元素：
function createChildren (vnode, children, insertedVnodeQueue) {
if (Array.isArray(children)) {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
checkDuplicateKeys(children)
}
for (let i = 0; i < children.length; ++i) {
createElm(children[i], insertedVnodeQueue, vnode.elm, null, true, children, i)
}
} else if (isPrimitive(vnode.text)) {
nodeOps.appendChild(vnode.elm, nodeOps.createTextNode(String(vnode.text)))
}
}
createChildren 的逻辑很简单，实际上是遍历子虚拟节点，递归调用 createElm，这是一种常用的深度优先的遍历算法，这里要注意的一点是在遍历过程中会把 vnode.elm 作为父容器的 DOM 节点占位符传入。
最后调用 insert 方法把 DOM 插入到父节点中，因为是递归调用，子元素会优先调用 insert，所以整个 vnode 树节点的插入顺序是先子后父。来看一下 insert 方法，它的定义在 src/core/vdom/patch.js 上。
insert(parentElm, vnode.elm, refElm)
function insert (parent, elm, ref) {
if (isDef(parent)) {
if (isDef(ref)) {
if (ref.parentNode === parent) {
nodeOps.insertBefore(parent, elm, ref)
}
} else {
nodeOps.appendChild(parent, elm)
}
}
}
insert 逻辑很简单，调用一些 nodeOps 把子节点插入到父节点中，这些辅助方法定义在 src/platforms/web/runtime/node-ops.js 中：
export function insertBefore (parentNode: Node, newNode: Node, referenceNode: Node) {
parentNode.insertBefore(newNode, referenceNode)
}
export function appendChild (node: Node, child: Node) {
node.appendChild(child)
}
其实就是调用原生 DOM 的 API 进行 DOM 操作。
在 createElm 过程中，如果 vnode 节点不包含 tag，则它有可能是一个注释或者纯文本节点，可以直接插入到父元素中。在我们这个例子中，最内层就是一个文本 vnode，它的 text 值取的就是之前的 this.message 的值 Hello Vue!。
再回到 patch 方法，首次渲染我们调用了 createElm 方法，这里传入的 parentElm 是 oldVnode.elm 的父元素，在我们的例子是 id 为 #app div 的父元素，也就是 Body；实际上整个过程就是递归创建了一个完整的 DOM 树并插入到 Body 上。
最后，我们根据之前递归 createElm 生成的 vnode 插入顺序队列，执行相关的 insert 钩子函数。
总结
这里只是分析了最简单的场景，在实际的项目中，会比这些复杂的很多。
